[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed - Review of the week 2018/01
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, The year started with a big bang. Be it that since the last review, there have actually been 7 snapshots released (20171228, 1229, 1230, 1231, 20180101, 0102 and 0103) or that the news is full with reports about security issues[0]. Let’s hope we can keep up the rate of snapshot releases (we won’t be able to keep it for the whole year; 7 in a week means I get no weekends) – but for the 2nd part, let’s hope we won’t have to cope with such things too often this year. The 7 snapshots contained those interesting bits and pieces: * Evolution 3.26.3 * Linux kernel 4.14.9 * AppArmor 2.12 * KDE Plasma 5.11.5 Some snapshots were a bit smaller than others, but holiday season brings this as a consequence. But the stagings are full of things happening: * Linux Kernel 4.14.11 (incl fixes for Meltdown, in snapshot 0104) * RPM 4.14 * LibreOffice 6.0; this reached RC quality, which the maintainer declared ‘fit for use’ (KDE users will get the KDE4-based UI back) * KDE Frameworks 5.41 * CMake logic change: newer python versions will be favored (meaning, python3) * The YaST Team’s libstorage-ng reimplementation This all promises to be some interesting time ahead of us Cheers, Dominique [0] https://goo.gl/EeezAc
