Tumbleweed - Review of the week 2021/48
by Dominique Leuenberger / DimStar 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Tumbleweed has been strong and unstoppable: for the 2nd week in a row we have published daily snapshots, i.e. 7 snapshots since the late review. Snapshots were numbered 1125…1201. The noteworthy changes in those snapshots were: * PCRE2 10.39 * Mozilla Firefox 94.0.2 * gpg 2.3.3 * virtualbox 6.1.30 * fprintd 1.94.1 * Ruby CVE fixes: ruby 2.7.5 & ruby 3.0.3 * Linux kernel 5.15.5 * bash 5.1.12: /bin/sh is no longer managed using update- alternatives, but comes as part of bash-sh or alternative *-sh packages (currently only busybox-sh as alternative) * Tumbleweed moved suse_version from 1550 to 1599 to avoid a possible conflict on internal config files of build with the upcming SLE15SP5/Leap 15.5 plans Changes that are currently being built/tested in upcoming snapshots and stagings: * KDE Plasma 5.23.4 * Automake 1.16.5 * Mesa 21.3.1 * Poppler 21.11.0 * Linux kernel 5.15.6 * Harfbuzz 3.1.1: NOTE: this has an ABI break over 2.9.x, but Leap/SLE are moving as well and biting the bullet, and other distros do too * GCC 11: Enable the full cross compiler, cross-aarch64-gcc11 and cross-riscv64-gcc11 now provide a fully hosted C (and C++) cross compiler, not just a freestanding one * cmake 3.22.0 * Moving default php version from php7 to php8 * Testing the results when moving system ruby from 2.7 to 3.0 * pipewire 0.3.40, with a move to from pipewire-media-session to wireplumber; currently failing openQA * openSSL 3.0 Cheers, Dominique

Why iso-codes-lang is required ?
by Togan Muftuoglu 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

Hi, ki18n which creates the package libKF5I18n5 now requires iso-codes-lang. Why on the earth would I need all the translated po files for languages I do not need. As far as I can tell requiring the extra language po files doesn't bring a plus benefit to me other than an unnecessary 14 MB of nonsense. Why not just recommend it ? Before I make a bug report, I want to understand the thinking

15.4 alpha
by Larry Finger 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

I installed 15.4 alpha with an Xfce desktop in a VirtualBox VM using the default disk partitioning and repos. Some random thoughts: 1. I liked the display of what was happening in the main screen while booting the installation .iso. That may not be new, but I do not remember seeing it with earlier versions. 2. The initial estimated time to install did not seem to be as pessimistic as before. I remember 2 hour estimates in the past - this one started well under an hour. 3. As installation neared completion, the estimated time became over optimistic as before, but that is not a problem. 4. My testing is minimal, but I was able to install git and the kernel development packages and from there, I cloned an out-of-kernel wifi driver, and built it without any problems. It is a PCI device, thus no chance to test it, but the build went smoothly. 5. I appreciate the 5.14 kernel. Having 5.3 kernels in the latest Leap version has been somewhat of an embarrassment. As I use Tumbleweed for normal work, that was not a problem for me, but it was hard to recommend Leap to the users of other Linux distros. Larry

This can cause library functions that use it to overwrite memory bounds checking. * Add official patch bash51-010 If `wait -n' is interrupted by a trapped signal other than SIGINT, it does not completely clean up state, and that can prevent subsequent calls to `wait -n' from working correctly. * Add official patch bash51-011 When reading a compound assignment, and running it through the parser to split it into words, we need to save and restore any alias we're currently expanding. * Add official patch bash51-012 There is a possible race condition that arises when a child process receives a signal trapped by the parent before it can reset the signal dispositions. The child process is not supposed to trap the signal in this circumstance. - Using package bash-sh instead of the update-alternative mechanism. ==== bind ==== Subpackages: bind-doc bind-utils python3-bind - Aligned SLE15-SP4 and Factory spec files. [bind.spec] - Fixed CVE-2021-25219: The lame-ttl option controls how long named caches certain types of broken responses from authoritative servers (see the security advisory for details). This caching mechanism could be abused by an attacker to significantly degrade resolver performance. The vulnerability has been mitigated by changing the default value of lame-ttl to 0 and overriding any explicitly set value with 0, effectively disabling this mechanism altogether. ISC's testing has determined that doing that has a negligible impact on resolver performance while also preventing abuse. Administrators may observe more traffic towards servers issuing certain types of broken responses than in previous BIND 9 releases. [bsc#1192146, CVE-2021-25219, bind-CVE-2021-25219.patch] ==== bluez ==== Subpackages: libbluetooth3 - Stop nuking the obex service, we support user systemd services just fine now.

Patch from fedora. ==== busybox-links ==== Subpackages: busybox-coreutils busybox-findutils busybox-gawk busybox-grep busybox-gzip busybox-psmisc busybox-sed busybox-sendmail busybox-util-linux busybox-xz - Removed libalternatives machanism. Using direct link from /usr/bin/busybox to /usr/bin/sh. The package is conflicting with the new packages bash-sh which has a link for /usr/bin/sh too. - Use libalternatives instead of update-alternatives. ==== efibootmgr ==== Version update (14 -> 17) - Update to v17: * use efivar's logging facility more (more info in -v2 , -v3, etc) * Various bug fixes * Better -e parsing * fix pkg-config invocation for ldflags * Make efibootmgr use EFIDIR / efibootmgr.efidir like fwupdate does * make --loader default build-time configurable * sanitize set_mirror()/get_mirror() * Add support for parsing loader options as UCS2 * GCC 7 fixes * Don't use -fshort-wchar since we don't run on EFI machines. -

Details about them and eventual pre-setup steps prior use are mentioned in this document - Fixed MicroOS build test snapper default config has moved from /etc to /usr/share - Bump version: 9.24.8 ? 9.24.9 - Bump version: 9.24.7 ? 9.24.8 - Added support for reading metalink in info module For resolver operations through libsolv the 'kiwi image info' module exists. So far it could not read the repos from metalink repo definitions. This Fixes #1890 - Force key attribute from signing element to be treated as a URI Signed-off-by: David Cassany <dcassany(a)suse.com> - Pass signing keys from the XML to the repositories This commits makes sure signing keys are passed to repositories setup in build task. Signed-off-by: David Cassany <dcassany(a)suse.com> - Move static sle15 integration test to git - Bump version: 9.24.6 ? 9.24.7 - Fixed raid integration test using extra boot part Due to changes in the distribution the tests needs some adaptions. The kernel as provided now by TW uses symlinks from boot to /usr/lib/modules/... to point to the kernel binary. Of course this breaks for any system that uses /boot on another partition. Those image tests which were testing this aspect needs fixing. - Make sure fedora-release is installed on Rawhide Follow up to #1957 and #1962: The Fedora build tests were using the generic release package and not fedora-release. This issue has been partially fixed in #1962, but we forgot to port the fix to the rawhide images as well. This commit adds the missing package to the Rawhide images as well. ==== python38 ==== Subpackages: python38-curses python38-dbm python38-tk - Remove shebangs from from python-base libraries in _libdir (bsc#1193179). - Readjust patches: - bpo-31046_ensurepip_honours_prefix.patch - decimal.patch - python-3.3.0b1-fix_date_time_compiler.patch ==== python38-core ==== Subpackages: libpython3_8-1_0 python38-base - Remove shebangs from from python-base libraries in _libdir (bsc#1193179). - Readjust patches: - bpo-31046_ensurepip_honours_prefix.patch - decimal.patch - python-3.3.0b1-fix_date_time_compiler.patch ==== python38-documentation ==== - Remove shebangs from from python-base libraries in _libdir (bsc#1193179). - Readjust patches: - bpo-31046_ensurepip_honours_prefix.patch - decimal.patch - python-3.3.0b1-fix_date_time_compiler.patch ==== qpdf ==== Version update (10.3.2 -> 10.4.0) - update to 10.4.0: * From the qpdf CLI, the --allow-weak-crypto is now required to suppress a warning when explicitly creating PDF files using RC4 encryption. While qpdf will always retain the ability to read and write such files, doing so will require explicit acknowledgment moving forward. For qpdf 10.4, this change only affects the command-line tool. Starting in qpdf 11, there will be small API changes to require explicit acknowledgment in those cases as well. For additional information, see Chapter 6, Weak Cryptography. * Fix potential bounds error when handling shell completion that could occur when given bogus input. * Properly handle overlay/underlay on completely empty pages * Fix crash that could occur under certain conditions when using --pages with files that had form fields. * Make QPDF::findPage functions public. * Add methods to Pl_Flate to be able to receive warnings on certain recoverable conditions. * Add an extra check to the library to detect when foreign objects are inserted directly (instead of using QPDF::copyForeignObject) at the time of insertion rather than when the file is written. Catching the error sooner makes it much easier to locate the incorrect code. * Improve diagnostics around parsing --pages command-line options ==== sensors ==== Subpackages: libsensors4 - Remove ProtectKernelTunables from harden_lm_sensors.service.patch, breaks service (boo#1193149) ==== smartmontools ==== - Update smartmontools-drivedb.h to the latest version from the upstream branch RELEASE_7_2_DRIVEDB. ==== tftp ==== - Added hardening to systemd service(s) (bsc#1181400). Modified: * tftp.service ==== trousers ==== - Added hardening to systemd service(s) (bsc#1181400).

openSUSE Release Engineering Meeting 1.12.2021
by Lubos Kocman 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

All meeting minutes can be found here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-meeting Meeting is hosted here https://meet.opensuse.org/ReleaseEngineeringMeeting ## Attendees Sarah, guillaumeg, rbrown, lkocman, dleuenberger, ddemaio,maxlin, Adrian, Marcus ## Leap A new build in openQA bit better than yesterday, still some work needed on publishing (update repos for backports missing etc). NET images missing for non-aarch64 arches (raised to Adrian and Autobuild) get-o-o setup for 15.4 https://github.com/openSUSE/get-o-o/pull/65 armv7 tasks are still missing in Release Checklist for Leap 15.4 https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-process/blob/master/Alpha.md https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/22 Further ping pong with cisco Donation of VMDP drivers https://en.opensuse.org/Donation:Software No further feedback on Factory nor wiki/talk feature https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Talk:Donation:Software&action=histo… Unless somebody responds till Friday (in two days). The process is consideredd final. Question regarding 15.4: Half of the requests are in status 'SLE accept pending'. How do we progress/continue? Ah yes, we have to go throught all features and make sure they're up2date. Will cover this part week. Cleanup of SLE-Accept-Pending (will continue through this week). ## openSUSE Tumbleweed * Tumbleweed has been rolling full steam ahead for the last week (daily snapshots) * Kernel 5.15.5 * Upcoming change: /bin/sh won't be update-alternative managed anymore, but will be handled by drop-in packages like bash-sh (/bin/sh links to bash), busybox-sh, and possibly more to come. Scheduled for Snapshot 1201 * Maintainers are discussing to move to PHP 8.0 (7.x is going EOL, 8.1 not yet ready) * KDE Plasma 5.23.4 scheduled for the upcoming days * GNOME 41.2 scheduled for the next week(s) * Tumbleweed will change suse_version to 1599 (from 1550) to 'move out of the way' of SLE15SP5/Leap 15.5 (internal config files conflcting) ## Richard (Kubic/TW MicroOS) Adding nerdctl/rootlesskit/buildkit stack (aka the containerd-without Docker-stack) to Factory Investigating adding nerdctl support to Toolbox Investigating buildkit and its limits as a container builder working on a tool to convert existing Tumbleweed (and maybe also Leap) systems to MicroOS and/or MicroOS Desktop ## Max * 15.4 after a while we have new builds moved into openqa. Current build contains a lot of fixes. we need to make a proper setup for update test, ie. backports update and sle update on d.o.o, otherwise zypper ref complains about missing repos. * we did set %skip_python2 1 and %_without_python2 1 in Backports prjconf * some python package can not just update to Factory version for disabling python2 build, because of new dependencies and other reasons, so there is openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP4:FactoryFork project for those packages, just patched those packages to python3 only * still struggling with dropping python2 RPMs from mediums and ftp- tree, needs to find a proper way to do that * 15.4: some build failures we need to find owners (cilium, envoy, protoc, etc.), send mail to package maintainer lkocman: I've sent call for maintainership of AI/ML stack recently, perhaps we could extend the call. Otherwise packages would be dropped by 15.4 Beta https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/35 * https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/kubic@lists.opensuse.org/thread/QC… From TW, most of those are dropped (unmaintainable) * opensuse-welcome didn't display on GNOME bsc#1190288 * Somewhat https://doc.opensuse.org/release-notes/x86_64/openSUSE/Leap/15.3/release.no… is missing, switch to Tumbleweed's release-notes.rpm for the time being in Leap's medium, otherwise the shortcut setup in Response from docs team Ftr, this is what we have: ~/release-notes/x86_64/openSUSE/Leap/15.3> ll *rpm; echo; md5sum *rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 relsync users 2383380 Oct 27 06:00 release-notes-openSUSE- L153.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 relsync users 2383380 Oct 27 06:00 release-notes.rpm eed1c78226061a57d7004ecead765c46 release-notes-openSUSE-L153.rpm eed1c78226061a57d7004ecead765c46 release-notes.rpm installer will be changed then broke openQA testing lkocman: I'll check on this with docs team, also for 15.4 ## Guillaume - Arm Tumbleweed: * Rolling, no blocker * Sporadic BTRFS bug: upstream fix is in Factory with kernel 5.15.5 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1160604 * Hyper-V support in Tumbleweed since snapshot 20211125 (kernel 5.15). Any volunteer to test it on Windows-on-Arm machines? lkocman: downloading 20211128, will test on the surface pro xg Leap 15.4: * No Arm specific update ## Sarah - s390x * one successful Tumbleweed release * Tumbleweed release not rolling because of compiler bug in PostgreSQL (bug forwarded to IBM) https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1190740 * Leap 15.3/15.4: Test issue based on former SLE bug in Yast: https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/81685 .Net is enabled for IBM Z by IBM. It is available for RHEL. Sarah will go in contact to Microsoft because of the possibility to create a s390x repo for openSUSE. s390x kernel issue seems to be looked at https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1192454 (should be under a public product SP3). ## Doug * metrics.o.o * Work: OSRT Access, OSRT Dashboard (partly), OSRT History, OSRT Release (partly) * Not working: OSRT Comparison, OSRT openQA, OSRT Review, OSRT Staging * maintainer aware , but could use help https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-tools/tree/master/metrics * open source firmware conference * Asked mstrigl about handing over jitsi instance to heroes infra * New wellbeing survey made at community meetings is avaiable * FOSDEM - no reply yet from sponsors(a)fosdem.org * openSUSE Conference (02.06 - 04.06) - waiting on contract from Z-Bau devconf.cz - status update? openSUSE Meetup was approved ## Dirk Not available - Cloud:OpenStack:Factory update, had > 100 devel:languages:python updates to get into factory as prepration - Nothing done regarding arm ports this week ## Gerald / Board Not available ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling Not available python2 removal from openSUSE:Backports-15-SP4 (raised by Marcus M.) project config tweak of macros (python2 packages are still trying to get build) we can probably disable it individually Marcus: could this be some export filter or so that filters them out? DimStar: do we use python-macros packages? Very often if you change that you have to do deep inspect or OBS will not re-evaluate macros properly. In TW we have a serial number macro that forces re-eval. Dirk: prjconf macros without_python2 1 ## Maintenance team (Marina or Marcus, Maurizio (m4u)) No news We will most likely need to ping maintenance team prior making the QU media (QU1 was published last week). Just to make sure that we won't miss a upcoming fix that could affect the install media. Display status of SLES updates to community (https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/30). Marina: small step, still internal discussion ongoing. Marcus: we will need to add llvm12 to Leap 15.3 - chromium doesn't build with older versions. ## Adrian - openSUSE Step Heads up: native git support for OBS will be announced. No such package should get into any of openSUSE distributions. Maintenance process and many others will not work for these packages. Please cosider this being a playground. Doug: is there a changelog? Adrian: there is a chance that we have the changelog Adrian: not a proper setup in a way that would provide sufficient data to Doug. Raised concern about Backports 15 SP4 builds never finishing. Adrian will look into it.

Hello all, As you may or may not know, it's our SUSE Packaging team tradition to bring you a Christmas surprise from our Pack workshop every year. Usually, we share it right before Christmas, but this time, we need to share it today - on the 1st of December. This year, we prepared a Packaging Advent Calendar that will accompany you through the Advent Season, bringing you some Christmas mood and teaching you some of the packaging magic: https://calendar.myadvent.net/?id=cdcb0953f00bd5df8a860dc0d586b393 So enjoy and don't forget to go back tomorrow since you will be able to open one door each day until Christmas Eve. We wish you a happy Advent season and have a lot of fun! On behalf of the SUSE Pack team Kristyna Streitova

[opensuse-factory] reproducible builds status 2021-11
by Bernhard M. Wiedemann 01 Dec '21

01 Dec '21

Hi, This month I had a small presentation in PackagingCon so there are some updates in https://github.com/bmwiedemann/reproducibleopensuse/tree/presentation last month's status: https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/… Last months' reproducible builds project updates (including my work): https://reproducible-builds.org/reports/2021-10/ I uploaded https://rb.zq1.de/compare.factory-20211130/ yesterday and rbstats are: total-packages: 14263 (+51) build-tried: 14233 (+52) build-failed: 34 (-14) build-n-a: 287 (-1) build-succeeded: 13912 (+65) build-official-failed+na: 54 (-637) build-compare-failed: 397 (+2) build-compare-succeeded: 13515 (+63) verify-failed: 459 (+4) verified-semi-reproducible: 13188 (+10) bit-by-bit-identical: 13428 (+54) not-bit-by-bit-identical: 478 (+5) not-bit-by-bit-identicalcheck: 484 (+11) https://rb.zq1.de/compare.factory-20211130/graph.png shows the change over time. You can ignore most of the red during last month. I just did not notice the build failures and re-tried them now https://rb.zq1.de/compare.factory-20211130/unreproduciblerings.txt lists very unreproducible core packages (bootstrap+DVD) Of the badly unreproducible packages, 4 were in ring0 35 were in ring1 That makes it 39/3247 => 1.20 % which is below the overall average of 397/13912 => 2.85 % 478/13912 => 3.44 % of packages are not perfectly reproducible Ciao Bernhard M.
