Adapt loop mounting of iso images (bsc#1038132, bsc#1033236) - Adjust zypp.conf for openSUSE Tumbleweed (bsc#1031756) - Change arch variable names conflicting with compiler macros (fixes #70) - Fix potential crash if repo has no baseurl (bnc#1043218) -

Add Fix-plain-map-and-political-map-showing-no-content.patch to fix the plain map and the political map being not displayed at all (kde#379297) ==== mc ==== Subpackages: mc-lang - sftp.patch: Backport upstream fixes for SFTP (boo#1004280, boo#1042797) ==== plasma5-integration ==== - Move the Recommends: %{name}-plugin-lang to the plasma5-integration-plugin sub package, otherwise the translations won't get installed as there is no main package (boo#1027925) - Actually apply the aforementioned patch (shouldn't the source validator have warned?) ==== plasma5-openSUSE ==== Subpackages: plasma5-defaults-openSUSE plasma5-theme-openSUSE plasma5-workspace-branding-openSUSE sddm-theme-openSUSE - Fix installation of the sddm theme files (boo#1047254) ==== postgresql ==== Version update (9.4 -> 9.6) Subpackages: postgresql-contrib postgresql-devel postgresql-docs postgresql-server - Bump version and defaultpackage to 9.6. - Move ~postgres/.bash_profile to postgresql-server to avoid a file conflict between the versioned server packages. - Bump version and defaultpackage to 9.4. - Bump version and defaultpackage to 9.3. - Change license string to PostgreSQL. - Make all dummy packages noarch. - Make PostgreSQL 9.2 the default. - Reduce the postgresql packages with unversioned names to dummy packages that require the respective versioned package names. ==== python-coverage ==== Version update (3.7.1 -> 4.3.4) - uninstall alternatives in %postun - update for singlespec - update to 4.3.4: - Using the --skip-covered option on an HTML report with 100% coverage would cause a ?No data to report? error, as reported in issue 549. This is now fixed; thanks, Lo�c Dachary. - If-statements can be optimized away during compilation, for example, if 0: or if __debug__:. Coverage.py had problems properly understanding these statements which existed in the source, but not in the compiled bytecode. This problem, reported in issue 522, is now fixed. - If you specified --source as a directory, then coverage.py would look for importable Python files in that directory, and could identify ones that had never been executed at all. But if you specified it as a package name, that detection wasn?t performed. Now it is, closing issue 426. Thanks to Lo�c Dachary for the fix. - If you started and stopped coverage measurement thousands of times in your process, you could crash Python with a ?Fatal Python error: deallocating None? error. This is now fixed. Thanks to Alex Groce for the bug report. - On PyPy, measuring coverage in subprocesses could produce a warning: ?Trace function changed, measurement is likely wrong: None?. This was spurious, and has been suppressed. - Previously, coverage.py couldn?t start on Jython, due to that implementation missing the multiprocessing module (issue 551). This problem has now been fixed. Also, issue 322 about not being able to invoke coverage conveniently, seems much better: jython -m coverage run myprog.py works properly. - Let?s say you ran the HTML report over and over again in the same output directory, with --skip-covered. And imagine due to your heroic test-writing efforts, a file just acheived the goal of 100% coverage. With coverage.py 4.3, the old HTML file with the less-than-100% coverage would be left behind. This file is now properly deleted. - update to Version 4.3.1 ? 2016-12-28: - Some environments couldn?t install 4.3, as described in issue 540. This is now fixed. - The check for conflicting --source and --include was too simple in a few different ways, breaking a few perfectly reasonable use cases, described in issue 541. The check has been reverted while we re-think the fix for issue 265. - update to Version 4.3 ? 2016-12-27: Special thanks to Lo�c Dachary, who took an extraordinary interest in coverage.py and contributed a number of improvements in this release. - The HTML report now supports a --skip-covered option like the other reporting commands. Thanks, Lo�c Dachary for the implementation, closing issue 433. - Subprocesses that are measured with automatic subprocess measurement used to read in any pre-existing data file. This meant data would be incorrectly carried forward from run to run. Now those files are not read, so each subprocess only writes its own data. Fixes issue 510. - Coverage.py wouldn?t execute sys.excepthook when an exception happened in your program. Now it does, thanks to Andrew Hoos. Closes issue 535. - The coverage combine command will now fail if there are no data files to combine. The combine changes in 4.2 meant that multiple combines could lose data, leaving you with an empty .coverage data file. Fixes issues issue 525, issue 412, issue 516, and probably issue 511. - The branch coverage issues described in issue 493, issue 496, and issue 502 are now fixed, thanks to Lo�c Dachary. - Options can now be read from a tox.ini file, if any. Like setup.cfg, sections are prefixed with ?coverage:?, so [run] options will be read from the [coverage:run] section of tox.ini. Implements part of issue 519. Thanks, Stephen Finucane. - Specifying both --source and --include no longer silently ignores the include setting, instead it fails with a message. Thanks, Nathan Land and Lo�c Dachary. Closes issue 265. - Coverage.py can now search .pex files for source, just as it can .zip and .egg. Thanks, Peter Ebden. - update to 4.2: - Since ``concurrency=multiprocessing`` uses subprocesses, options specified on the coverage.py command line will not be communicated down to them. Only options in the configuration file will apply to the subprocesses. Previously, the options didn't apply to the subprocesses, but there was no indication. Now it is an error to use ``--concurrency=multiprocessing`` and other run-affecting options on the command line. This prevents failures like those reported in `issue 495`_. - Filtering the HTML report is now faster, thanks to Ville Skytt�. - update to 4.0.3: - Fixed a mysterious problem that manifested in different ways: sometimes hanging the process (`issue 420`_), sometimes making database connections fail (`issue 445`_). - The XML report now has correct ``<source>`` elements when using a ``--source=`` option somewhere besides the current directory. This fixes `issue 439`_. Thanks, Arcady Ivanov. - Fixed an unusual edge case of detecting source encodings, described in `issue 443`_. - Help messages that mention the command to use now properly use the actual command name, which might be different than "coverage". Thanks to Ben Finney, this closes `issue 438`_. - add LICENSE.txt - Pre require coreutils. This package is needed for the rm call in the pre section. Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.gONanE: line 3: rm: command not found - specfile: * updated license * updated update-alternatives * README.txt -> README.rst - update to version 4.0: (long list, see http://coverage.readthedocs.org/en/latest/changes.html) - fix rhel deps by depending on /usr/sbin/update-alternatives ==== ucode-intel ==== Version update (20160714 -> 20170511) - Update to version 20170511 - Update to version 20161104. ==== yast2-bootloader ==== Version update (3.2.22 -> 3.2.23) - AuotYaST configuration: Set StorageDevices flag disks_valid to true. So libstorage can scan valid disks and "/" partition can be found. (bnc#1043132) - 3.2.23 ==== yast2-ntp-client ==== Version update (3.2.9 -> 3.2.12) - Resrict records are written at the end but the default file and most profiles use them at the beginning, which mangles the file completely (bsc#983486). To fix it we have just changed the order of writing. - 3.2.12 - AutoYaST: Fix crash when trying to sanitize not string values, for example initial_sync. - AutoYaST: Sanitize comments by only removing blank spaces at the beginning and adding line break. This avoids augeas parse errors (bsc#1045777). - 3.2.11 - AutoYaST: Fix crash in CFA when creating a command record with some key value option is given (bsc#1045968) - 3.2.10 - AutoYaST: Comments from autoyast profile should not be sanitized to avoid entries without space between value and comment (e.g trustedkey 1# coment). This is caused by a bug in augeas adding new entries. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] acpid requires systemd?
by Felix Miata 25 Apr '24

25 Apr '24

Can this be true? If so, why? Zypper won't let me upgrade acpid without breakage unless systemd is installed too. I have systemd locked out, as I'd rather test things I can understand in Factory, not major overhaul stuff. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

enabling reproducible builds in Factory and ALP
by Jan Zerebecki 15 Mar '24

15 Mar '24

Hi *, to support https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Reproducible_Builds I plan to get the following project configuration for Factory and ALP enabled: Macros: %source_date_epoch_from_changelog Y %clamp_mtime_to_source_date_epoch Y %use_source_date_epoch_as_buildtime Y %_buildhost reproducible :Macros I'm still waiting to get https://github.com/openSUSE/product-builder/pull/26 merged to prevent a bug with mirrors that will otherwise happen. Afterwards a time of the build is still in the HTTP header Last-Modified when requesting the rpm file. HTTP mtime is a few seconds earlier than end time of the build (seen in OBS web UI only as start + duration). I didn't double check, but it should also be recorded in the Tumbleweed archive Bernhard keeps, which can with a bit of work be looked up by content hash or name including version of the rpm file if its not on the normal mirrors anymore. Both the build time and host can also still be seen in the build log. Comments welcome. -- Best regards, Jan Zerebecki

Proposal: amend the packaging guidelines for %fillup_only
by Dan Čermák 02 Mar '24

02 Mar '24

Hi list, our packaging guidelines for %fillup_only [1] currently do not suggest anything for the %files section for the files generated in `/etc/sysconfig/`. I would like to suggest that we start adding the newly generated file `/etc/sysconfig/$pkgname` as follows to the %files section: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- %files %ghost %config(noreplace) %attr(0600,root,root) /etc/sysconfig/%{name} %dir /etc/sysconfig --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- This ensures that rpm is aware of the files as configuration files. Thoughts, opinions?

wine and zlib
by Joe Salmeri 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

I did a fresh install of TW 20230222 on a new PC. My main desktop which was installed back in 2021 has also been updated ( zypper dup ) to 20230222. I found something odd when comparing packages between the 2 machines. Both PC's have wine installed, however... On my main desktop when the original install in 2021 of wine was done it installed libz1-32bit ( as per the zypper history logs ) and it still has that installed after it was updated to 20230222. On the new PC fresh install of 20230222 when wine was installed it installed libz-ng-compat1-32bit. The libz-ng-compat1-32bit version looks like it was forked in 2021, just after my main machine was originally built so that would explain why it has libz1-32bit but shouldn't it have been updated by zypper dup ??? Is this a bug that I should report? If so, which system is wrong / which version should be used? Thanks!

Recent e2fsprogs update flag changes
by Patrick Schaaf 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

Hi, as I haven't found discussion by searching, I thought I bring up a gotcha I ran into today, on a host recently updated to tumbleweed 20230801 level. With a somewhat recent update to e2fsprogs, now at 1.47.0 compared to May '23 at 1.46.5, the set of mkfs flags has changed: --- /root/mke2fs.conf.20230512 2023-08-09 12:00:14.379476597 +0200 +++ /etc/mke2fs.conf 2023-06-14 19:20:22.000000000 +0200 @@ -14 +14 @@ - features = has_journal,extent,huge_file,flex_bg,metadata_csum,64bit,dir_nlink,extra_isize + features = has_journal,extent,huge_file,flex_bg,metadata_csum,metadata_csum_seed,64bit,dir_nlink,extra_isize,orphan_file For me, this resulted in an otherwise fine virtual machine with 20230512 userlevel, not booting after an "rsync copy migration" into a fresh root filesystem mkfs'ed with these new flags. Reason being that 3 months older fsck - the sytemd boot time rootfs service actually - goes "failed". I guess I'll need just use flag override options going forward, to cope with that, but thought I'd bring it to attention here at least. best regards Patrick

snapd applications not working on Tumbleweed (20230613)
by Jim Henderson 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

Wondering if anyone else is seeing this. I attempted to launch two apps (slack and spotify) installed with snapd, and the launch failed. Troubleshooting it, I removed all of the snaps from the system, uninstalled and reinstalled snapd, and I get the following output: --- $ snap install spotify error: cannot perform the following tasks:

Is it possible for Slowroll to officially support the integrity of NVidia and VMWare modules?
by Xu Zhao 19 Dec '23

19 Dec '23

Hello all, I am a 5-years Tumbleweed user. I am also the maintainer of many Tumbeweed packages such as telegram-desktop, chezscheme, amdvlk, and yacreader. I have both AMD and NVIDIA desktops with openSUSE Tumbleweed installed. NVidia closed-source GPU driver integration has always been a pain for rolling release like Tumbleweed because: 1) kernel's API keeps changing and it often takes NVidia 1~2 weeks to follow-up the latest kernel release in their new driver version (see http://rglinuxtech.com/ ); 2) people who don't care about NVidia do not want to slow down the rolling of kernel versions For example, even today the version of nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default(https://build.opensuse.org/packag…, 535.113.01) is not compatible with nvidia-video-G06 (https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed/x86_64/, 535.104) on Tumbleweed. I am wondering if we can attract some users to Slowroll if it only releases snapshots whose kernel version is compatible with the NVidia GPU driver? At least I will be very interested to try it out on my Nvidia desktop. Similar case should apply for VMWare kernel modules, but if it takes too much additional efforts, I think we should priortize NVidia module integrity. Best, Xu -- Xu Zhao i(a)xuzhao.net

[TESTERS WANTED] Using git to maintain packages on OBS - test run
by Dan Čermák 08 Dec '23

08 Dec '23

Dear packagers for openSUSE Tumbleweed, we have been working on a prototype that allows you to maintain your packages in git (similarly to Fedora's dist git) on src.opensuse.org instead of on OBS. Contributions to the package are then handled via pull requests on src.opensuse.org which get automatically forwarded as submitrequests on OBS. This is currently just a prototype and we are looking for testers and general feedback. So if you want to participate as a maintainer, please check the full guide here: https://opensuse.github.io/scm-staging/user_guide.html tl;dr; you'll have to convert the develpackage to use `<scmsync>` from src.opensuse.org/pool and everything else should "just work". FAQ: - Where can I report issues or provide feedback? https://github.com/openSUSE/scm-staging/issues (for bugs) or https://github.com/openSUSE/scm-staging/discussions (for general feedback) - Is this how the future of packaging in openSUSE is going to look like? Maybe, maybe not. This is currently just a test drive and its outcome will influence the way forward. - Will submitrequests to my develpackage still work? Sadly no, branching a git maintained package on OBS does not work. Please indicate in the description of your package that users should contribute on src.opensuse.org instead. - Which tools do I need? Just git, git-lfs and osc (at least version 1.2.0 is recommended for service runs to work) Looking forward to your feedback!
