With the current progress, though, we should be able to expect QA to pass later today or on the weekend.<\/li>\n<li>Ghostscript 9.18: it did cause a few build failures in stagings already (renamed error variables); so if you&#8217;re building anything against it, you might be hit by this too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>X.Org 1.18<\/strong>: if you&#8217;re running binary blob drivers, you might want to block off this update. The vendors might take some time to get their drivers in shape.<\/li>\n<li>Mesa 11.0.5: addressing a bunch of stability issue with nouveau and i965 drivers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The staging projects are currently all busy &#8211; Some of them need your help to resolve the pending issues. The main updates causing issues are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Boost 1.59: I think everybody expects issues with a new boost version by now. This time around, all but one have been fixed: cmis-client still fails on ppc64le.<\/li>\n<li>GStreamer 1.6: most of the packages seem ready for this. The critical component missing is Phonon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Besides all those updates, we&#8217;re struggling a lot with building java-related packages since the update of Kernel to version 4.3.0 &#8211; it seems this kernel, running as guest in KVM, triggers some bugs that are only seen when building \/ running java related things (see also <a href=\"https:\/\/bugzilla.opensuse.org\/show_bug.cgi?id=954218\" title=\"Bug 954218\" target=\"_blank\">boo#954218<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>With all this, I wish you a great weekend &#8211; and always remember: Have a lot of fun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, It&#8217;s been another week in which the weed has been steadily tumbling.
