The week has kicked off strong with 6 snapshots (0101, 0102, 0103, 0104, 0105, and 0106).

Staging:I<\/li><li>Multiple versions of python 3 parallel installable. Adding to python 3.8, version 3.6 will be reintroduced. Python modules will be built for both versions.<\/li><li>RPM 4.16: all build issues in Staging:A have been fixed, the earlier reported crash on upgrades is also fixed. Final QA run in progress<\/li><li>brp-check-suse: a bug fix in how it detected dangling symlinks (it detected them, but did not fail as it was supposed to)<\/li><li>permissions package: prepares for easier listing, while supporting a full \/usr merge<\/li><li>Autoconf 2.70: breaks quite a few packages, Staging:C. NOTE: in some cases, it now implicitly starts gtkdocize; but at least for distro bootstrap packages (ring0) we cannot BuildRequire gtk-doc. So we must trick autoreconf with GTKDOCIZE=true<\/li><li>Rpmlint 2.0: experiments ongoing in Staging:M<\/li><li>openssl 3: not much progress, Staging:O still showing a lot of errors.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, A new year is already upon us, the first week of it is already.
