openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2019/46

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

This has been a busy week, with 5 successfully tested snapshots delivered to you, the users (1107, 1109, 1110, 1111 and 1112). The main updates/changes there include:

  • git 2.24.0
  • Mesa 19.2.3
  • gimp 2.10.14
  • Linux kernel 5.3.9
  • libvirt 5.9.0
  • KDE Applications 19.08.3
  • KDE FRameworks 5.64.0

The list of things on the todo is in big parts unchanged and the stagings contain these major updates:

  • rpm 4.15.0: the new python dependency generator is nasty, as it adds much more deps that were the before (probablu a good thing), exposing new build cycles
  • Python 3.8
  • openssl 1.1.1d
  • Linux kernel 5.3.11+
  • KDE Plasma 5.17.3
  • Rust 1.39.0: break Firefox and Thunderbird so far
