Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At SUSE we had so-called hackweek. Meaning everybody could do something out of their regular tasks and work for a week on something else they wish to invest time on. I used the time to finally get the ‘osc collab’ server back in shape (Migrated from SLE11SP4 to Leap 15.1) – And in turn handed ‘The Tumbleweed Release Manager hat’ over to Oliver Kurz, who expressed an interest in learning about the release Process for Tumbleweed. I think it was an interesting experiment for both of us: for him, to get something different done and for me to get some interesting questions as to why things are the way they are. Obviously, a fresh look from the outside gives some interesting questions and a few things translated in code changes on the tools in use (nothing major, but I’m sure discussions will go on)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I stepped mostly back this week and handed RM tasks over to Oliver, that also means he will be posting the ‘Review of the week’ to the opensuse\u00adfactory mailing list. For my fellow blog users, I will include it here directly for your reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What was happening this week and included in the published snapshots:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
* KDE Applications 19.12.2
* KDE Plasma 5.18
* Linux Kernel 5.5.1 (which as some times in before posed a problem for owners\u00a0
of NVIDIA cards running proprietary drivers when Tumbleweed is too fast and\u00a0
drivers are not yet provided by NVIDIA in time for the new kernel version)\u00b2<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nWhat is still ongoing or in the process in stagings:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
* Python 3.8 (salt, still brewing but progressing)
* Removal of python 2 (in multiple packages)
* glibc 2.31 (good progress but not done)
* GNU make 4.3
* libcap 2.30: breaks fakeroot and drpm
* RPM: change of the database format to ndb
* MicroOS Desktop\u00b3<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nHave fun,
