Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Once again I’m spanning two weeks; besides the normal work on getting you openSUSE Tumbleweed updated and timely delivered, the release team has been working together with the build service team to implement/stabilize the OBS-internal staging workflow. There is (should) not be any real noticeable difference for the contributors – except the new used URLs. The Factory Staging dashboard can now be found at https://build.opensuse.org/staging_workflows/1

During the last two weeks, we have pushed out 10 Tumbleweed Snapshots (1121, 1122, 1123, 1124, 1126, 1127, 1128, 1202, 1203 and 1204) containing those changes:

  • openSSL 1.1.1d
  • YaST updates
  • Linux kernel 5.3.12
  • Mesa 19.2.6
  • firewalld 0.7.2
  • bind 9.14.8
  • alsa 1.2.1
  • fprintd 0.9.0
  • Perl 5.30.1
  • QEmu 4.2.0-rc3

Currently, all stagings are full and a lot of things are happening – and OBS does not like me for this it seems. Stagings seem to progress a bit slower at the moment than they used to. But this could be just a timing issue as all stagings were rebased at the same time after the workflow switch. Hopefully, things will settle soon there. The notable changes being staged at the moment are:

  • RPM 4.15.0
  • Python 3.8
  • Rust 1.39.0: break Firefox and Thunderbird so far
  • libxml 2.9.10
  • Linux kernel 5.4.1
  • libvirt 5.10.0
  • KDE Frameworks 5.17.4
  • KDE Applications 19.12.0 (currently rc2 in testing)
  • Qt 5.14.0 (currently release candidate in testing)
