[TW] No syncthing-gtk package on Factory
by Bob Williams 17 Dec '22

17 Dec '22

I am running Tumbleweed, and have just installed syncthing. I would also like to install syncthing-gtk, but there isn't a package for Tumbleweed. Indeed the official release version (0.9.3.1) is for Leap 15.2. Does anyone know if this package is being maintained, and if so, can it be made available in Factory? Or is it abandonware?

munin for sale
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

Hi, some years ago I took over maintenance for munin in Tumbleweed as I used it myself. I don't do so anymore and I'm also not an expert so I'm looking for someone who might be interested to take ownership of the package. https://munin-monitoring.org/ Wolfgang

Tumbleweed - Review of the week 2022/50
by Dominique Leuenberger / DimStar 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, We’re slowly reaching the end of the year, and some people have less time for openSUSE, as the holiday season is upon us. Others use their free time from work to contribute more time to openSUSE. In any case, we’re not seeing any slowdown just yet and Tumbleweed keeps moving, again with 7 snapshots released during this week (1209…1215). The main changes in these snapshots are: * KDE Gear 22.12.0 * KDE Frameworks 5.101.0 * Linux kernel 6.0.12 * Python 3.10.9 * RPM 4.18.0 * systems 252.3 * GNOME Shell & Mutter 43.2 * Xen 4.17.0 * git 2.39.0 * Protobuf 21.11 * strace 6.1 * pipewire 0.3.62 * procps 4.0.2: the default install remains with procps 3 for now. The last tests showed that things like salt did not like procps4, thus we only offer it as an addon for now, and to help identify issues * pcre2 10.42 * gcc13: first round: we change the libraries (like libgcc, libstdc++, …) to be provided by gcc13.The compiler used is still gcc12 With GCC 13 library switch done, one of the more complex stagings could be checked in, leaving room for all the rest. Currently, we’re testing submissions in these areas: * Linux kernel 6.1 * Boost 1.81.0: breaks libetonyek and libreoffice * util-linux 2.38.0 * Ruby 3.2 (currently RC) is being tested to become the default ruby version (switch would happen when ruby 3.2 sees a final release) * Switch to openSSL 3: tracked in Staging:N, main failures are nodejs18, nodejs19, OpenSSH, mariadb * Python pytest 7.2.0 Cheers, Dominique

What to do with network/if-{down,up}.d and network/scripts?
by Thorsten Kukuk 15 Dec '22

15 Dec '22

Hi, we have: /etc/sysconfig/network/if-down.d /etc/sysconfig/network/if-up.d There are still several packages installing something into this directories, but as we found out, support for this directories got removed between openSUSE 13.1 and 13.2, so around January 2014. If your package installs scripts into this directory: please drop that completly. Else your package will stop building the next days, as we will remove this directories. Since this scripts didn't worked for the past 9 years, no need to find another solution for it: if nobody missed it for 9 years, it's not needed at all. More complicated is: /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts in theory, this scrips will still be called by wicked (not NetworkManager), if you know how to configure /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-* config files correct. Does anybody here know how to do so? To be fair: it's documented in the manual pages ;) What should we do with this scripts? Keep them? But they are only from use for wicked, NetworkManager will not call them. And NetworkManager is the default and wicked will not be available e.g. for ALP. My personal opinion is, to drop them. I know samba is using it (but they will need to find another solution for NetworkManager anyways, if they really need it) and dhcp (but we don't use the dhcp package anymore anywhere, and to my knowledge ISC discontinued them). Opions what we should do here?

openSUSE Release Engineering meeting 14.12.2022
by Lubos Kocman 15 Dec '22

15 Dec '22

All meeting minutes can be found here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-meeting Meeting is hosted here https://meet.opensuse.org/ReleaseEngineeringMeeting ## Attendees Sarah, rbrown, DimStar, lkocman, DocB, GuillaumeG, ddemaio, Gerald,maxlin, meissner ## Leap Christmas break starts for me on Monday 19th Dec. Leap 15.5 ftp-tree builds blocked on downloading of packages (Max tried retry, and it didn't help so far) 15.3 EOL this Dec (check news-o-o) Considering promoting yast-migration-sle from the tech preview state (approved by YaST team) Next step change docs (SLES docu-team is already aware) Chasing legal reviews might get even more difficult in near future, we might want to consider factory-like approach for community maintained packages. Factory accepts legal reviews within hour if not handled by legaldb, Leap could wait 3-4 days? Release Manager has an option to override this. Lubos to talk to Legal team * We plan to switch to 4096bit RSA key begin of 2023. Keys are added to the openSUSE-build-key for Leap 15.x. This will also include the SLES 15 key. Needs setup discussions for Leap. Code submission deadline for any SLES 15 SP5 related features (does not apply for 15SP4:Update etc), as well as Leap 15.5 Beta code-drop deadline is on January 25th 2023. 15.5 Feature tracking at https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issues Ongoing: SUSE Open Source policy review, SUSE Empoyees can participate https://opensource.suse.com/suse-open-source-policy (public facing url) I'd be happy for any feedback from community in form of e.g. email, since the github project SUSE/open-source-policy is private and limited to SUSE Employees as issues might contain discussion regarding confidential topics. Leap Micro 5.4 initial setup in place rename of JeOS to Minimal-VM seems to be finally finished This was a long struggle ## openSUSE Tumbleweed openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 105 failed 2 unresolvable (last week: 80 / 5) https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz * RPM 4.18 shipped as part of snapshot 1212 * Staging:J: Kernel 6.1 breaks quite a few builds, as early as the VM setup even happens. This seems not to be 100% reproducible (but happens often) which makes debugging slightly harder * Staging:H: initial tests with Ruby 3.2 as default (Pretty much all YaST breaks, plus webkit) * Staging:N: experiments with openssl-3 as default: main blocked are nodejs1[89] and openssh and ibmtss * Staging:O: gcc13 will be introduced and take over the 'library build' (the usual two-phase introduction we do with gcc); gcc12 will stay the default compiler for now i586 carve-out from Factory * openSUSE:Factory:LegacyX86 is setup and builds are in a similar state as openSUSE:Factory * Bots are already up and running: ttm, pkglistgen, trigger-rebuild for rebuild=local * openQA is setup https://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/75 => the releases have been rolling on for the last three days, QA looks reasonable and things progress nicely. As planned, users should be able to migrate in January. We'll add some code to openSUSE-release in Tumbleweed to migrate repositories away when detected (with information logged of course) The maintenance of this port is uncertain though. Jiri Slaby volunteered, but that was back when the idea of having x86_64 there (and TW as v2) was current. As that decision was revised, I don't think Jiri is interested in maintaining i586; Felix Miata mentioned something, but no clear commitment to actually do it. I will keep an eye on it during the migration phase (just as I do with PPC and also s390x) - but no commitment, so things might fall over for weeks if not longer * We plan to switch to 4096bit RSA key begin of 2023. Keys are added to the openSUSE-build-key for Leap 15.x. ## Richard (MicroOS) Desktop-GNOME: The Road to Release: transactional-update-notifier is once again WIP after great feedback about why the current approach wasn't the best idea from a security standpoint Bugs still WIP osinfo-db still doesn't recognise MicroOS as a seperate distribution - debates with upstream ongoing General MicroOS Stuff: new podman, conmon, buildah all merged new os-update package Working on YaST-less installation media with FDE by default Lubos: Does D-installer fits "Yast-less"? Richard: It would, but its current model is installing different products - we only have 2 (Tumbleweed and MicroOS) but have far more reliance on system-roles (KDE Desktop, GNOME Desktop, Server, MicroOS Server, MicroOS Desktop, etc etc) Dirk: Curious on why this is not an issue on ALP? Richard: Unlike ALP, we utilize system-roles and we might have bit difficulty with getting request priotity over ALP Dirk: That is worth discussing with the ALP folks - to be taken offline. ## Max 15.5 * KDE update is not ready yet, it's still pending in staging * Update Cinnamon: did not get response from Cinnamon maintainer, and security believe the policy file can be removed from cinnamon-settings-daemon since it should be uselesss * Hits an bad host issue for ftp-tree build, we did retry many times but always end up to a pacakge download fail, https://build.opensuse.org/packages/000product:Leap-ftp-ftp-x86_64_aarch64_… Build stats(x86_64): 47 build fails, 4 unresolvables(last week: 49 build fails, 4 unresolvables) ## Guillaume - Arm Tumbleweed: * Rolling * NVIDIA: tester with aarch64 server and NVIDIA card wanted - Proprietary drivers are now available for aarch64 (only G06): https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed/ - New opengpu driver also available in OBS: https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/X11:Drivers:Video Leap: * no update WSL: * Works with x86 emulator since appx installer is x86 lkocman: Can we document "steps" in wiki? https://en.opensuse.org/WSL GuillaumeG: Yes ALP: * aarch64 back in openQA ALP and sync with :ToTest sub-project: https://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/100 ## Sarah - s390 Bug (multi-arch) in openQA with unreadable fonts is fixed (https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1205585). Tumbleweed * Is rolling again Leap: * log file issue is fixed -> tests are green New s390x upstream enablements for qore and aircrack-ng (patches or new versions will be integrated before Christmas) ## Doug * FOSDEM * Bus has 19 sign ups * Contact ddemaio if you're in Nuremberg and want to take the bus to FOSDEM. Space may be limited. * Plan on publishing second ALP prototype article next week * Budget discussions provided some help * Forwarded freewear proceeds to board for decision * Published Leap 15.3 EOL * Working on "good commit messages" article * Will ship some marketing material to Austria * GSoC 2023 * Will have GSoC Workshop to generate momentum and grow mentors * Jan. 10 or 17 during normal community meeting time * https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/GSoC2023WS * Planning to be guest on FLOSS Weekly podcast for Feb. 8 * Anyone interested in joining contact ddemaio * oSC23 * May 26 - 28 * EarlyEnablement team meeting before OSC, should we do extended event for other openSUSE Release team members? ## Dirk * Continued work on SUSE:ALP:RISCV bootstrap issues - looking into the java stack which can not be built within ALP * force published 15.4 and 15.5 for armv7 builds, openqa builds have been triggered it appears it is set to do post-release testing? * qemu/libseccomp 15.5 failure still in investigation * made a x86_64-baseline with x86_64-v3 hwcaps prototype for Tumbleweed. Seems successful, has open issue on debuginfo and auto-installation of the v3 optimized version. Performance benefit seems hard to measure. Biggest speedup can be observed by switching zlib to zlib-ng, so looked into fixing the build failures caused by switching to zlib-ng-compat ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling Not available 15 SP5 Package HUB channel is set up. Stefan did initial testing and looks good. Some packages are still missing, this is on agenda for today and next week. The workshop regarding Package HUB equivalent for ALP Lubos will schedule a call with wolfgang and Scott to ensure that they're in loop for the High Level requirements document. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:ALP/Workgroups/Community/Workshops/Consumi… Package Hub for SLE-15-SP5 product definition added and SCC is currently picking it up so it will be ready for testing with the beta of SLE-15-SP5 ## Maintenance team (Marcus or Maurizio (m4u)) Nothing worrysome, preannoucement for 15.3 EOL was sent to mainling list End of December 2022. There were three chromium updates in single week. Configuration setup problem for Maintenance of Leap 15.4 maintenance updates / openQA Marcus regarding Leap 15.4 Image respin - package set will change, we do need to refresh the packagelist * Lubos to talk to Jan Stehlik, we can't put all on Marcuses shoulder. https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-20221110-maintenance-dis… Confirmation that QA/QA-maint team will oversee the setup (issues) Lubos: I was asked to provide requirements for the QA team. Mostly for the GA/current release but also for the update. Lubos will make wiki with requirements (something like maintenance plan perhaps). Marcus will review it. * Leap Micro 5.3 maint setup done ffmpeg - (still unsolved) possible file conflict on the next update, no idea how to avoid vendor switching at the moment. Removing the patch on the openSUSE side (that might contain security fixes) or releasing update on the packman side could fix the issue. Lubos to give Marcus some working contact for the team. ## Adrian - OBS mls is fallback during Adrian's Christmas break Axel: there were some cleaning activities in OBS, to determine inactive users and related unmaintained projects. Is there anything going on? Adrian: the script checks a project or a package that has no changes for more than one year. It will create a delete request, that can be deleted. If there is no reaction there will be auto-acceptance in few days. Package can be always manually submitted back if the DR was missed. Users will not be deactivated. Adrian: User cleanup would have to be discussed with IDP team (SUSE IT). OBS is just a consumer. Lubos will create a request to suggest this action in Service desk. Adrian: if the user never logged in into OBS, that's probably a cleanup that could stay in touch. ## Open Floor Many submitrequests seem to be pending for a long time; even projects with 10 maintainers (e.g. hardware) seems to allow SRs to fall through the cracks lkocman: Could there be official wiki page proposing to chase "Factory maintainers" in such case? Gerald: Freebsd has 2 weeks maintainer timeout, then every other commiter (could be maintainer/contributor) can handle it. Richard: Root cause issue is that each devel project is its system. Dimstar: Some project are team centric (e.g. devel:langauages:python) some are more topic centric (hardware). Richard: Setting initial expectations like maintainer timeout should empower project maintainers. Adrian: If we have a defined timeout then we can have a list of packages for missing maintainer. Next steps: Early Enablement (Dominique's) team writes procedure, define it (maintain wiki, or perhaps create an attritubte). Factory maintainers would be still the last resort.

Zypper Media handler improvements
by Benjamin Zeller 15 Dec '22

15 Dec '22

Starting with libzypp-17.31.7 we will have a new handler for the media backend that has some improvements to hopefully help ease the problems with slow connections. - uses new curl based downloader code which allows us more flexibility when optimizing our approach - tries to establish less connections when downloading files - zsync support ( enabled per file on the server side ) - less media.n/media requests - scales the chunked download sizes to max nr of connections ( via multi range http requests ) Since this is currently a tech preview it has to be enabled with a environment var: # env ZYPP_MEDIANETWORK=1 zypper or in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf: ------- [main] techpreview.ZYPP_MEDIANETWORK=1 ------- Note that this is different from the old MEDIANETWORK tech preview. Which was removed when we started to work on its successor the zypp async backend which is still WIP.

The command learned the "--no-recurse" option to stop after dereferencing a symbolic-ref only once. * "git branch --edit-description @{-1}" is now a way to edit branch description of the branch you were on before switching to the current branch. * "git merge-tree --stdin" is a new way to request a series of merges and report the merge results. * "git shortlog" learned to group by the "format" string. * A new "--include-whitespace" option is added to "git patch-id", and existing bugs in the internal patch-id logic that did not match what "git patch-id" produces have been corrected. * Enable gc.cruftpacks by default for those who opt into feature.experimental setting. * "git repack" learns to send cruft objects out of the way into packfiles outside the repository. * 'scalar reconfigure -a' is taught to automatically remove scalar.repo entires which no longer exist. * Redact headers from cURL's h2h3 module in GIT_CURL_VERBOSE and others. * 'git maintenance register' is taught to write configuration to an arbitrary path, and 'git for-each-repo' is taught to expand tilde characters in paths. * When creating new notes, the template used to get a stray empty newline, which has been removed. * "git receive-pack" used to use all the local refs as the boundary for checking connectivity of the data "git push" sent, but now it uses only the refs that it advertised to the pusher. In a repository with the .hideRefs configuration, this reduces the resources needed to perform the check. * With '--recurse-submodules=on-demand', all submodules are recursively pushed. * developer visible fixes - git 2.38.2, a general maintenance release: * Fix unaligned memory access for reads from the index v4 * "git remote rename" failed to rename a remote without fetch refspec, which has been corrected. * "git clone" did not like to see the "--bare" and the "--origin" options used together without a good reason. * "git fsck" failed to release contents of tree objects already used from the memory * "git rebase -i" can mistakenly attempt to apply a fixup to commit itself, which has been corrected. * Fix segfault with "git merge-tree" on read-only repositories * Fix a logic in "mailinfo -b" that miscomputed the length of a substring, which lead to an out-of-bounds access. * The codepath to sign learned to report errors when it fails to read from "ssh-keygen". * "GIT_EDITOR=: git branch --edit-description" resulted in failure * "git multi-pack-index repack/expire" used to repack unreachable cruft into a new pack, which have been corrected. * The code to clean temporary object directories (used for quarantine) tried to remove them inside its signal handler * "git branch --edit-description" on an unborh branch misleadingly said that no such branch exists * `git rebase --update-refs` would delete references when all `update-ref` commands in the sequencer were removed ==== gnome-bluetooth ==== Version update (42.4 -> 42.5) Subpackages: gnome-bluetooth-lang libgnome-bluetooth-3_0-13 libgnome-bluetooth-ui-3_0-13 typelib-1_0-GnomeBluetooth-3_0 - Update to version 42.5: + This version fixes the pairing dialogue misbehaving for some Bluetooth Classic keyboards, with the passkey disappearing after the first digit is typed. - Add missing ldconfig_scriptlets macro for libgnome-bluetooth-ui-3_0-13. ==== kdump ==== Version update (1.0.2+git26.gc6fab38 -> 1.0.2+git27.gb9718ae) - maintain the spec file in git ==== perl-Data-Validate-IP ==== Version update (0.30 -> 0.31) - updated to 0.31 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Data-Validate-IP/Changes 0.31 2022-11-28 - Fixed handling of the ::0/128 subnet. This is a special subnet(/address) that is called the "unspecified address". It is not public or routable. Reported by Dan Sherry. GH #13. ==== pipewire ==== Version update (0.3.61 -> 0.3.62) Subpackages: gstreamer-plugin-pipewire libpipewire-0_3-0 pipewire-alsa pipewire-lang pipewire-modules-0_3 pipewire-pulseaudio pipewire-spa-plugins-0_2 pipewire-spa-tools pipewire-tools - Refresh reduce-meson-dependency.patch - Update to version 0.3.62: * Highlights - A regression in screensharing was fixed. It was caused by a race when activating links and driver nodes. - Video transform metadata was added so that cameras and screen sharing can report the video orientation and transformations. - Support for the PulseAudio module-gsettings was added to make paprefs work. - Support for bluetooth offloading was added. This allows for the bluetooth reception, decoding and playback to happen completely in hardware. This also requires some support in WirePlumber. - Many bugfixes and improvements. * PipeWire - More work on stopping nodes in a more controlled way. - Fix a race in starting nodes and drivers. In some cases the driver node would already be started while the link to the peer node was not ready yet. This caused regressions in screen sharing. The driver is now only started after all the followers and links completed. - Fix a case where a slow capture stream would not recycle buffers anymore and stall. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2874) - Fix a subtle bug in pw_loop_invoke that could cause callbacks to be delayed and cause crashes in some cases. - Fix a case where IPC was done from the data-thread and could cause crashes. * Tools - Silence some expected errors in the pw-top output. * modules - The filter-chain has seen some optimizations in the copy plugin and the convolver. - The zeroconf plugin will now only unpublish services from the server that was removed. - Fix a potential crash when stopping pw-loopback. - Some harmless errors were turned into info messages. - Fix some cases where pw_stream methods were called from the data-thread that could cause segfaults. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2633) * SPA - There is now a video transform metadata that indicates how a video frame was transformed (rotated/flipped). libcamera and the GStreamer elements now have support for this metadata. - The SPA volume plugin is now disabled from the default build. - Handle missing control info in libcamera. - Handle errors from loop better, don't call the callbacks on errors. - Somewhat improve performance in some audioconvert AVX2 code for format conversion. - Fix PortConfig and EnumPortConfig params in audioconvert and audioadapter to reflect what is actually going on instead of using hardcoded values. - Pass ignore-dB property correctly in all cases. - Probing is now done in 48KHz again. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2857) * Pulse-server - IPv4 addresses are now added first to the list and exposed first with zeroconf discover. - module-gsettings was added to make paprefs work. - The pulse.idle.timeout option was disabled by default and only enabled for selected apps (speech-dispatcher) because it caused some problems for other apps. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2880) * JACK - Only process valid ports. Could fix some crashes. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2863) * Bluetooth - Support was added for offloading bluetooth handling. Some hardware can receive, decode and play the bluetooth audio directly in hardware. - Drop dependency on SDL2; this leads to a build cycle with SDL2 itself, and is only needed for pipewire example code anyway. ==== psmisc ==== Version update (23.4 -> 23.6) Subpackages: psmisc-lang - Update to 23.6: * buildsys: Fix DEJAGNU work-around Debian #1015089 * killall: Use kill if pidfd_send_signal fails Debian #1015228 * fuser: Do not mention nonexistent - reset option #42 * fuser: Use modern statn where possible * pstree: Better AppArmor support !30 * killall: Check truncated names !28 * killall: Use openat and pidfd_send_signal #37 * killall: Don't check paths of sockets #35 * pstree: Check for process with show_parents #38 * pstree: Don't disable compaction with show pgids #34 * pstree: Fix storage leak !29 - Enable new apparmor support - Remove patch now upstream 0002-Use-new-statx-2-system-call-to-avoid-hangs-on-NFS.patch - Port patch psmisc-22.21-pstree.patch - Port patch psmisc-v23.4.dif which now becomes psmisc-v23.6.dif - Merge patch socket-fix.patch with ported patch 0001-Use-mountinfo-to-be-able-to-use-the-mount-identity.patch ==== rubygem-excon ==== Version update (0.93.1 -> 0.94.0) updated to version 0.94.0 no changelog found ==== rubygem-google-protobuf ==== Version update (3.21.9 -> 3.21.10) updated to version 3.21.10 no changelog found ==== rubygem-parallel_tests ==== Version update (3.13.0 -> 4.0.0) updated to version 4.0.0 no changelog found ==== rubygem-pkg-config ==== Version update (1.4.9 -> 1.5.1) updated to version 1.5.1 see installed NEWS == 1.5.1 - 2022-11-23 === Improvements * Improved the default search path.

[Reported by Watson][GitHub:#22] == 1.5.0 - 2022-11-23 === Improvements * Improved the default search path. "pkg-config --variable=pc_path pkg-config" is used as the default search path if it's available. [Reported by Watson][GitHub:#22] ==== seahorse ==== Subpackages: gnome-shell-search-provider-seahorse seahorse-lang - The shell provider dbus service file must be in the main package due to being referenced in the .desktop file ==== selinux-policy ==== Subpackages: selinux-policy-targeted - Updated fix_networkmanager.patch to fixe labeling of nm-dispatcher and nm-priv-helper until the packaging is adjusted (bsc#1206355) - Update fix_chronyd.patch to allow sendto towards NetworkManager_dispatcher_custom_t. Added new interface networkmanager_dispatcher_custom_dgram_send for this (bsc#1206357) - Update fix_dbus.patch to allow dbus to watch lib directories (bsc#1205895) - Updated fix_networkmanager.patch to allow NetworkManager to watch net_conf_t (bsc#1206109) ==== snapper ==== Subpackages: libsnapper6 snapper-zypp-plugin - fix build with upcoming selinux ==== strace ==== Version update (6.0 -> 6.1) - Update to strace 6.1 * Enhanced decoding of terminal ioctl commands. * Updated decoding of statx syscall. * Updated lists of ABS_*, BPF_*, BTRFS_*, COUNTER_*, ETH_P_*, IFLA_*, KVM_*, MADV_*, NLMSGERR_*, PERF_*, STATX_*, and TLS_* constants. * Updated lists of ioctl commands from Linux 6.1. ==== susepaste ==== Subpackages: susepaste-screenshot - Add 0003-susepaste-use-paste-opensuse.org.patch: Replace susepaste.org submission address with paste.opensuse.org ==== wireplumber ==== Version update (0.4.12 -> 0.4.13) Subpackages: libwireplumber-0_4-0 wireplumber-audio wireplumber-lang - Update to version 0.4.13: * Additions - Add bluetooth SCO (HSP/HFP) hardware offload support, together with an example script that enables this functionality on the PinePhone. - Encoded audio (mp3, aac, etc...) can now be passed through, if this mode is supported by both the application and the device. - The v4l2 monitor now also respects the ``node.disabled`` and ``device.disabled`` properties inside rules. - Add "Firefox Developer Edition" to the list of applications that are allowed to trigger a bluetooth profile auto-switch. - Add support in the portal access script to allow newly plugged cameras to be immediately visible to the portal applications. * Fixes - Work around an issue that would prevent streams from properly linking when using effects software like EasyEffects and JamesDSP. - Fix destroying pavucontrol-qt monitor streams after the node that was being monitored is destroyed. - Fix a crash in the alsa.lua monitor that could happen when a disabled device was removed and re-added. - Fix a rare crash in the metadata object. - Fix a bug where a restored node target would override the node target set by the application on the node's properties. * Packaging - Add build options to compile wireplumber's library, daemon and tools independently. - Add a build option to disable unit tests that require the dbus daemon. - Stop using fakesink/fakesrc in the unit tests to be able to run them on default pipewire installations. Compiling the spa ``test`` plugin is no longer necessary. - Add pkg-config and header information in the gir file. - Rebase reduce-meson-required-version.patch - Drop patches already upstream: * 0001-alsa.lua-remove-the-disabled-entities-from-the-names-table.patch * 0001-policy-node-wait-for-unactivated-links-instead-of-removing.patch ==== xdg-desktop-portal ==== Version update (1.15.0 -> 1.16.0) Subpackages: xdg-desktop-portal-lang - Update to version 1.16.0: + Introduce a new background monitoring service.

Decision on Tumbleweed x86_64 Architecture level
by Dominique Leuenberger / DimStar 13 Dec '22

13 Dec '22

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, First, thank you all for the (mostly) constructive discussion around this topic. The thread got pretty long and I think no more new arguments have been surfacing lately. Let me give a quick overview of what will happen from here on: ## openSUSE Tumbleweed x86_64 stays at baseline ## + We will push on finding a better solution than moving the entire distro to any other architecture level. We're currently collecting ideas/proposals/solutions at https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:X86-64-Architecture-Levels. It's even very likely that we come up with a plan of using combinations (of e.g hwcaps plus a 2nd baseline repo) ## openSUSE Tumbleweed i586 downgraded to a port ## The i586 architecture keeps moving to openSUSE:Factory:LegacyX86 (the name still matches luckily). The repository will be published at https://download.opensuse.org/ports/i586/tumbleweed/repo/oss/. The usercount there is non-zero, but certainly not as large as the x86_64 userbase. For this port, it would still be great if there was a volunteer looking after it. It would mostly consist of verifying the QA runs, most often cross-checking failures against the x86_64 port, filing new bugs if not identical on x86_64 (or not already filed by other ports) and keep an eye on the build state of the repository. This is a task that does not require coding skills (it can help, but is not mandatory). I stronlgy believe that this is the best approach we can take to serve our contributors and users. Best regards, Dominique
