openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2020/37

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Based on my gut feeling, I’d claim week 37 was a bit quieter than other weeks. But that might be due to the fact that I had some day off in the middle of the week, where I only did a check-in round, but not actually pushing on the Stagings. Some of you might have seen that Richard Brown has been helping out on this front, which can just be another reason for things to look more relaxed for me. But let’s look at the 6 snapshots (0904, 0905, 0906, 0907, 0908, and 0909) we released during this week.

The changes included were:

  • KDE Plasma 5.19.5
  • KDE Applications 20.08.1
  • LibreOffice 7.0.1.2 (aka 7.0.1rc2)
  • Mesa 20.1.7
  • Libvirt 6.7.0

That leaves the list of things being worked out in stagings almost the same:

  • systemd 246
  • glibc 2.32
  • binutils 2.35
  • gettext 0.21
  • bison 3.7.1
  • SELinux 3.1

    any chance cinnamon could start getting updated on a regular basis? its the DE i really want to use, but its always oddly old for a rolling distro

    openSUSE is a community-driven distribution. Anybody interested in a special topic/area can chime in and help the maintainers to get the packages of their wish being updated. For Cinnamon, I fear the current maintainers might have shifted focus. So new blood is certainly welcome to help this move along again
