Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, I think summer holiday is still there, we 'only' had three snapshots this week :) In Tumbleweed, the biggest changes for this week are: ===================================================== * Perl 5.22 is released. This was a long lasting effort in stagings, and many packages needed to be fixed. And as many of you realized, there is still a lot not working (packages that are not part of the test coverage). Good candidates to look up here can be found at: https://goo.gl/iIRxHI * Plasma 5.4 has been checked in to openSUSE:Factory, but there is not yet a Tumbleweed release available. One issue identified is that the Plasma desktop now wants to require 'catdoc', which is a Tk/Tcl app. Tcl/Tk adds considerable to the size of the LiveCDs and they explode... The KDE Team promised to change the dependency to catdoc to a pure recommendation instead of a requirement... then we should be able to pass on here again. * RPM is newly linked against liblua5.3 instead of the outdated liblua5.1. What is pending for Tumbleweed ============================== * systemd. I wish I could finally take this off the list, but progress seems rather slow with getting the needed fixes together. I blame the good weather and still partially holiday season. NEvertheless, just today we have received an additional fix that might finally solve the issues. * libQt 5.5.0 is also still pending as it breaks libyui-qt. I *think* the yast team fixed this in git, but apparenly nobody submitted the fix to openSUSE:Factory; that's where we'd need though. * KDE Applications 15.08.0 are being staged and tested. * An update to NCurses 6.0 is pending ( https://build.opensuse.org/project/staging_projects/openSUSE:Factory/A ). There are a couple failures as a consequence here. Help is welcome to get the rest fixed. * Kernel 4.2 is also pending in a staging. This might be a 'tricky' update especially for users of the NVidia binary blob. Once this hits the repos, those users might want to block this kernel for now.
