Project Announces Plans for Another Minor Leap 15 Release
by Lubos Kocman 06 Jun '23

06 Jun '23

Hello openSUSE! We’d like to announce that the openSUSE Release team plans to work on openSUSE Leap 15.6. openSUSE Leap 15.6 is expected to be released in early June 2024 and would reach its end of life by the end of the year 2025. This decision was based on recent discussions at SUSE Labs and openSUSE Conference, and it reflects recent changes, progress on individual projects, and our new distribution *architect. This will also enable us to provide SUSE customers with an updated Package HUB module, as both SLES 15 SP5 and Leap 15.6 would be considered a feature release based on our *tick-tock release model. With a Leap 15.6, more time is given for efforts related to an ALP- based Leap 15.X *successor. A more detailed explanation of the situation at lkocman’s oSC2023 “Leap 16.0?” talk. Recording should be available within a few days at the openSUSE youtube *channel.

OpenH264 Leap repository metadata mismatch
by Andrei Borzenkov 06 Jun '23

06 Jun '23

The metadata on http://codecs.opensuse.org/openh264/openSUSE_Leap/ does not match actual packages. Timestamp of files on http://ciscobinary.openh264.org/ is newer and hash does not match. Related question - for which Leap releases is this repository suitable? It does not have any version indication, but packages are apparently built on Leap 15.4. What about Leap 15.5? Users are already confused (not that I expect anyone to really care :( ) https://forums.opensuse.org/t/strange-upgrade-questions/166649

openSUSE:Factory - Build fail notification
by DimStar / Dominique Leuenberger 04 Jun '23

04 Jun '23

Dear Package maintainers and hackers. Below package(s) in openSUSE:Factory have had problems for at least 4 weeks. We tried to send out notifications to the configured bugowner/maintainers of the package(s), but so far no fix has been submitted. This probably means that the maintainer/bugowner did not yet find the time to look into the matter and he/she would certainly appreciate help to get this sorted. - rpi-eeprom-config: Uninstallable: package raspberrypi-eeprom-2023.01.11.noarch obsoletes rpi-eeprom-config < 2023.01.11 provided by rpi-eeprom-config-0.0.20200625~9342fdb.noarch Unless somebody is stepping up and submitting fixes, the listed package(s) are going to be removed from openSUSE:Factory. Kind regards, DimStar / Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar(a)opensuse.org>

Build Rust project on OBS
by Bernd Ritter 03 Jun '23

03 Jun '23

Hi there, i want to package a software written in Rust on OBS. I've read the guidelines here: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Rust_Software but as it is not a library but an application some things dont really apply. When I build with the rust macros, the build is offline, which becomes a problem when trying to download the dependencies. [ 2s] + /usr/bin/cargo auditable build -j4 --offline --release [ 2s] error: no matching package named `base64` found [ 2s] location searched: registry `crates-io` [ 2s] required by package `ludusavi v0.19.0 (/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/ludusavi-0.19.0)` [ 2s] As a reminder, you're using offline mode (--offline) which can sometimes cause surprising resolution failures, if this error is too confusing you may wish to retry without the offline flag. [ 2s] error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.OvIlq8 (%build) Building the software manually in OBS results in a network error because it is probably forbidden. What can I do here? Should I download the dependencies manually and place them somewhere? Cheers, Bernd

How do i add factory arm with zypper?
by vani jindam 03 Jun '23

03 Jun '23

I am at loss about how to add openSUSE Factory ARM using zypper. I am trying to familiarise with os [ installed using proot-distro ] and eventually install on my desktop [ replace existing debian experimental ]. But before installing & using it as daily driver, i need more meddling. I am on tumbleweed. However, i want to use factory also [ similar to debian experimental? ]. Regards, jindam, vani

MicroOS dup issue > rpmpkg: detected non-zero blob
by Pablo Sanchez 03 Jun '23

03 Jun '23

Hi, I have a VM running MicroOS. There's nothing critical on it. Recently dups have been failing due to 'rpmpkg: detected non-zero blob' - see snippet below. I assumed some package was borked and it'd eventually get fixed. (Read as: I ignored it until now.) Today it occurred to me that I might try to `transactional-update dup` The problem is still around. Running `zypper clean` did clear the cache but the problem continues. Noting in the bugs database. I don't mind opening a bug. I thought I'd check here in case I've missed something obvious ...

Tumbleweed - Review of the weeks 2023/19-22
by Dominique Leuenberger 02 Jun '23

02 Jun '23

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, First off, apologies for not having the weekly review since May 5th. There were some personal days off, some travels to conferences and things just lined up to fall through the cracks. But more importantly, than the weekly reviews, I’m sure you have all noticed that Tumbleweed has not been stopped. Au contraire: with people being all in the same time zones and proximity, we managed to resolve some of the long- standing issues in stagings and progress on. I’ll try to give an overview of what happened in the last 4 weeks. Looking at all of May 2023, there have been a total of 29 snapshots published. The only ones skipped were 0516 and 0528. Snapshots 0501 through 0504 had been covered in week 2023/18’s review and I’ll skip them today. This brings us to this overview of what happened in the last weeks in Tumbleweed: * iproute2 6.3 * LibreOffice 7.5.3.1 & 7.5.3.2 * Virtualbox 7.0.8 * php8 was attempted to be updated to 8.2.5, later reverted to 8.1.19 due to nextcloud incompatibilities * Salt 3006.0 * systemd 253.4, plus the introduction of file triggers instead of relying upon packagers using all the systemd_ macros. There was an issue detected though, hinting at obs-pesign stripping the file triggers away. * PAM 1.5.3 * Mozilla Firefox 113.0 & 113.0.1 & 113.0.2 * KDE Plasma 5.27.5 * KDE Gear 23.04.1 * KDE Frameworks 5.106.0 * OpenVPN 2.6.4 * Linux kernel 6.3.2 & 6.3.4 * SQLite 3.42.0 * LLVM 16.0.4 * GCC 13.1.1 * GStreamer 1.22.3 * QEmu 8.0.0 * The old 2k RSA signing key for openSUSE repos has been removed from default installations. The key is still valid, but not part of the default trusted keys anymore. Things that are in the pipeline and are close to being ready – also thanks to the many in-person meetings at the SUSE Labs conference and the openSUSE Conference * Python 3.11 as the new default Python interpreter (a few packages from the numeric stack pending confirmation) * openSSL 3.1.1 * openSSH 9.3p1 * libxml2 2.11.4: breaks a few packages like perl-XML-LibXML, raptor, virtualbox * fmt 10: breaks at least ceph and spdlog * libplist 2.3.0: breaks libimobiledevice-glue * protobuf 23.1: breaks libphonenumber, libzypp, protobuf-c, and vlc Cheers, Dominique

Building packages for Leap 15.5
by Natasha Ament 02 Jun '23

02 Jun '23

Hi, I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask, so correct me if I'm wrong. In the build portal there is at this point no possibility to build packages for Leap 15.5. Is there any ETA when this option will be available? Or may I've overlooked it? Kind regards, Natasha
