[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the Weeks 2016/17 & 18
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, During the last two weeks, we could publish 5 snapshots, of which 0422 had been pre-announced as being ‘huge’. The other snapshots covered are 0430, 0502, 0503, 0504 and 0505. The gap from 0422 up to 0430 was due to the full rebuild of the distribution based on glibc 2.23. What else did those two weeks bring us: * glibc 2.23 * Linux Kernel 4.5.2 * GStreamer 1.8.1 * LibreOffice 5.1.3 * Mozilla Firefox 46 * Many of the goodies the YaST Blog post [0] Things currently in the makings are: * GCC 6 is to become the new default compiler. * Qt 5.6 is still pending Are you interested to work on openSUSE, help improve the workflows and the tooling? SUSE is looking for an openSUSE Release Engineer to extend the team. Curious? Feel free to get in touch with me or apply directly at SUSE Careers – openSUSE Release Engineer [1] Cheers, Dominique [0] https://lizards.opensuse.org/author/yast-team/ [1] https://goo.gl/1RZGT6 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
Hi DimStar, my Tuxedo InfinityBook will arrive this week and I want to bring a recent Tumbleweed with full system encryption on it. Do you know when the KDE live iso installation will be fine again? If I read correctly, the DVD iso should be fine? Is there any news on Qt5.6? I thought during latest yast sprint the issue with keyboard focus should be addressed, was it? And one more: KDE Apps 16.04 is also settling a while in stagings. I guess KDE devs will submit new versions when 16.04.1 is released this week. I think this was missing in " Things currently in the makings" section :-). Thanks in advance, Robby. -- Jabber: robby81@jabber.de -- Jede meiner Mails ist mittels PGP signiert.

Installation from DVD and/or NET installer works just fine in openQA. The Live installer 'works', but no initrd is being created; an experienced user can recover from the state - but I'd rather suggest you save yourself that hassle :) This is tracked in https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=977656
Is there any news on Qt5.6? I thought during latest yast sprint the issue with keyboard focus should be addressed, was it?
Unfortunately this is still not ready :( we are seriously considering to implement a workaround in openQA for this - knowing that we would just mask an issue with it. As most users would be using the mouse to install, it would be 'acceptable' to some degree...
And one more: KDE Apps 16.04 is also settling a while in stagings. I guess KDE devs will submit new versions when 16.04.1 is released this week. I think this was missing in " Things currently in the makings" section :-).
Indeed, KDE Apps 16.04 is also in staging (Staging:J). To my understading, they wanted to get this in before submitting 16.04.1, but there are a couple issues to be resolved in the Staging before it can be accepted * File conflict introduced between akonadi-server-devel-16.04.0- 32.2.x86_64 and libkdepimlibs4-devel-4.14.10-1.3.x86_64 * some packages were declined during review, those need to be corrected and resubmitted I'm sure the KDE welcomes additional hands for solving the issues.

This should actually be fixed in the devel repo already for some time: https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/KDE:Applications/kdepimlibs4?opackage=kdepimlibs4&oproject=openSUSE%3AFactory&rev=7 No idea why this hasn't been forwarded to Factory yet... I will take care of that.

Hm, AFAICS only kipi-plugins5 has been rejected, but this has been fixed and resubmitted already: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/392043 OTOH, lokalize 16.04.0 will probably block the submission anyway because it doesn't build against the new hunspell 1.4 in Factory. 16.04.1 will fix that, I see no way to add the fix to the pending 16.04.0 submission though as 16.04.1 is already in the devel repo... And yes, 16.04.1 is basically ready to be submitted. Except for the recent OBS hickups ("syswrite: No space left on device"), only marble still fails to build because of a new file not listed in the spec file. Not a big deal though, and easily fixed... ;-) Kind Regards, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
