To &#8216;compensate&#8217;, the next one will be huge to download though. On August 25, I merged the change for libexecdir == \/usr\/libexec and since then I&#8217;m fighting to QA after effects to get you a snapshot out that won&#8217;t break in all corners. There will likely be some rough patches here and there though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, let&#8217;s see what DID happen in week 35: three snapshots have been published (0821, 0823 and 0824) containing these changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>cURL 7.72.0<\/li><li>NetworkManager 1.26.2<\/li><li>fdupes 2.1.2 (upgraded from 1.61)<\/li><li>systemd 245.7: NOTE: an issue with a dangling symlink in \/etc\/systemd\/system\/tmp.mount was identified. A fix for this is in the TW-Update channel<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, the next snapshot to come out (currently testing 0826, but this could still be discarded too) will be &#8216;large&#8217; with respect to download size, as literally all 15000 packages in Tumbleweed have been rebuilt. There were multiple reasons to trigger a full rebuild (and I intentionally collected them to have this done in one go)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>RPM: %{_libexecdir} changed to \/usr\/libexec. As this affects a lot of packages, and can change build results based on dependent packages file locations, a full rebuild was needed to be consistent in the end<\/li><li>RPM: The compression payload of our packages has been changed to zstd compression. This generally should result in faster decompression (read: installation) of RPMs. Downside: These packages can only be read with Leap 15.2 (and future versions) and Tumbleweed (newer than 20190713).<\/li><li>build: the build package was changed to also copy pkgconfig .pc files into the -devel-32bit package, if this is defined to be built in baselibs.conf.<\/li><li>brp-check-suse: The symlinks pointing to \/etc\/alternatives are no longer converted to be relative symlinks, as update-alternatives did not really like that and kept on complaining to the users.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And besides all what has happened, the Stagings are still filled up with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Linux kernel 5.8.4<\/li><li>Mozilla Firefox 80<\/li><li>Chromium 85<\/li><li>Boost 1.74.0<\/li><li>Kubernetes 1.19<\/li><li>systemd package drops the dependency on sysvinit-tools<\/li><li>glibc 2.32<\/li><li>binutils 2.35<\/li><li>gettext 0.21<\/li><li>bison 3.7.1<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, This week we have published a few snapshots less than normal.
