[opensuse-factory] New packages dog, myxer and treefetch for Factory
by Danilo Spinella 18 Dec '21

18 Dec '21

Hi! I am announcing three new packages for Factory: - dog, a command-line DNS client, made by the same author of exa. It's currently maintained in network:utilities. https://github.com/ogham/dog - myxer, a modern Volume Mixer for PulseAudio. It's currently maintained in multimedia:apps. https://github.com/VixenUtils/Myxer - treefetch, a lightning-fast system fetch tool made with Rust (although it just calls all the system utilities manually). https://github.com/angelofallars/treefetch Best regards, Danilo Spinella

Otherwise, please expect the engineering meeting to resume on Jan. 12 ## Leap lkocman on vacation 15 Dec - 2nd Jan. Leap Micro discussion https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-leap-micro-discussion-20… Futher discussion on tomorrows Community meeting Thu 16th Dec / 8pm CEST https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/weeklymeeting20211216 Features: discussion regarding fdk-aac-free / piperwire update and KDE 5.18 LTS consideration for 15.4 with Antonio Larossa armv7 tasks are still missing in Release Checklist for Leap 15.4 https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-process/blob/master/Alpha.md ## openSUSE Tumbleweed * Tumbleweed is back on daily snapshots (1 snapshot missed since 1116) * Kernel 5.15.7 * wireplumber as session manager for pipewire * Firefox 95 * GNOME 41.2 * Maintainers are discussing to move to PHP 8.0 (7.x is going EOL, 8.1 not yet ready) * Moving to Ruby 3.0 (or posisbly straight to 3.1 after dec) are ongoing. YaST team is looking at the fallouts * Discussions to move the default python interpreter to 3.10 are underway (3.10 was released beginning of October) ## Richard (Kubic/TW MicroOS) Experimented with kiwi-less, container-first VM image building. Have a working prototype that works entirely in OBS, builds a container using a Dockerfile, takes that container then converts it to a working, bootable, openSUSE VM. k8s 1.23.0 still being packaged for Kubic (really wish upstream k8s did a better job of documenting their changed dependencies...) Investigating adding nerdctl support to Toolbox Investigating buildkit and its limits as a container builder working on a tool to convert existing Tumbleweed (and maybe also Leap) systems to MicroOS and/or MicroOS Desktop ## Max Not available ## Guillaume - Arm Tumbleweed: * 20211214 is in openQA with lots of updates. It will add support to the new Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w/ * Hyper-V support: Testers reported it hangs during boot. This is a bug with timers. See: https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/1393/diffs?commi… Leap 15.4: * opencl-headers package is outdated in Leap 15.4 / SLE15-SP4: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1193617 This prevent armnn to build with opencl support enabled. ## Sarah - s390x * Tumbleweed release not rolling because of compiler bug in PostgreSQL (bug forwarded to IBM) https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1190740 -> dependency to https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188896 A bugfix from IBM has been tested together with the PostgreSQL14 build. It seems, that it would be fixing the issue. Another workaround (provided bz the GCC Developer at IBM) is to use 12GB of memory for a build because of oom with 4 or 8GB. That is working also in a constraints file as a workaround. s390x kernel issue seems to be looked at https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1192454 (should be under a public product SP3). ## Doug * Membership & Elections * Elections have started * Communications about membership are taking place * Memberships being updated * GNU Health Conference Talk went well * Connected GNU Health Team with a counterpart * Wrote article about new project equipment.

Missing definition for %{python3_sitelib} in SLE15-SP2

VirtualBox uses this macro as the destination for some files, but it does not exist in SLE15-SP2. What would be a good workaround? Thanks, Larry

Postfix 3.6.3 is not in Tumbleweed
by Togan Muftuoglu 15 Dec '21

15 Dec '21

Hi, For almost a month postfix 3.6.3 is available via server:mail repo. Unless I am not seeing it there seems to be no request to Factory. According to the changelog in the server:mail repo - Update to 3.6.3 * (problem introduced in Postfix 2.4, released in 2007): queue file corruption after a Milter (for example, MIMEDefang) made a request to replace the message body with a copy of that message body plus additional text (for example, a SpamAssassin report). * (problem introduced in Postfix 2.10, released in 2012): The postconf "-x" option could produce incorrect output, because multiple functions were implicitly sharing a buffer for intermediate results. Problem report by raf, root cause analysis by Viktor Dukhovni. * (problem introduced in Postfix 2.11, released in 2013): The check_ccert_access feature worked as expected, but produced a spurious warning when Postfix was built without SASL support. Fix by Brad Barden. * Fix for a compiler warning due to a missing 'const' qualifier when compiling Postfix with OpenSSL 3. Depending on compiler settings this could cause the build to fail. * The known_tcp_ports settings had no effect. It also wasn't fully implemented. Problem report by Peter. * Fix for missing space between a hostname and warning text. As far as I can tell this is a bug fix. Is there a reason why this version hasn't landed to Tumbleweed planet ?
