[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed - Review of the week 2017/50

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, This is the 2nd last week of the year, many people started leaving for their holiday, but Tumbleweed is rolling and rolling: it does not take a break (but might lower the pace). So last week ‘only’ had 4 snapshots. But then, I wrote last weeks review a day late or, in other words, the week for this review short by one day. These snapshots have been released to the public: 1215, 1216, 1218 and 1220. For your celebration parties, the snapshots contained these updates: * dbus-1.12 * Linux kernel 4.14.6 * Qt4 ported to openSSL1.1 * LLVM 5 (for now, LLVM4 is still in the repo, but that’s a question of time) * KDE Applications 17.12.0: an issue with kmail sending out mail over smtps was identified late. A fix has been published in the update channel. * cmake 3.10.1 Looking at stagings, one can observe quite some more things shaping up (some are a bit longer standing, as they are more complex): * RPM 4.14 * openJDK 10 will be used to build the distro packages (starting with 1222) * Qt 5.10 (expected in snapshot 1223+) * Linux kernel 4.16.7 (likely also in 1223+) * LibreOffice 6.0 * Poppler 0.62.0 (as soon as LibreOffice builds with it) * YaST’s libstorage-ng implementation As you know, all of those things are always delivered to you as ‘packages’. You might not be able to unwrap them like others you might receive in this period, but we certainly hope they bring you as much joy as other packages you receive. I wish you a happy holiday – and we will bring more gifts your way. Best regards, Dominique

I'm eagerly anticipating this!

Umm, is OpenJDK 10 even branched? I thought we'd be transitioning to OpenJDK 9...

* Qt 5.10 (expected in snapshot 1223+) * Linux kernel 4.16.7 (likely also in 1223+) * LibreOffice 6.0

So we're moving to the beta LO 6? Or we're waiting for the final first?

Me too - but you still won't be allowed to use the rich deps :)

Upstream even branched JDK 11 already. The openSUSE transition to JDK 9 was done completely a while back, mentioned in the week 37/38 review, see http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/2017/09/review-of-the-weeks-20173 7-38/ (yes, evo breaks the link as it wraps the lines - copy paste it)

That's up to the package maintainer to decide; From the discussions held so far, he's waiting at least for the RC releases. It's currently staged and passing openQA already (and of course available for early testers from the devel project) Cheers, Dominique

Aww, come on! What's holding up the new rpm-md based product builder?

I'm awaiting features in OBS that allow me to new screw up the entire staging process. Cheers, Dominique

OpenJDK upstream has changed their release policy. They want to release smaller releases more often. JDK10 is planned to be released on March, 20 2018 [1]. The development cycle for JDK11 has already started and I have prepared my first patch for this release which I am going to push tomorrow or so. I have recently contributed so many fixes to OpenJDK upstream that I have been promoted as a committer to the JDK project :). So, in case there are any issues within openSUSE that anyone thinks that should be upstreamed, please let me know. For JDK10, I have contributed almost 20 patches to fix various issues on Linux, mostly in the Zero port. Adrian
