Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, This week we were not able to deliver a single snapshot (yet). Sorry for this. The reason is actually rather simple: as RPM was switched to link against lua 5.3 instead of lua 5.1, the 'build' script needed to be updated to know of this difference. For this, the internally used version needed to be different from 132x (as only the first three digits are used). So, Tumbleweed has been 'bumped' to be suse_version 1330 and the build script was happy about this. Sadly, we missed kiwi in the game (and those version bumps can barely go through stagings). Anyway, kiwi has been fixed, it passed staging and has been checked in to openSUSE:Factory - that happened yesterday and we are now awaiting a full build that should hopefully soon go to openQA. If all goes well, you might get a release tomorrow. So, anyway, things that happened and are going to happen soon (based on the future outlook of last week): * Staging A with ncurses 6 is currently green! So you can expect NCurses 6.0 to land shortly (but not before the current snapshot starts to be tested) * Systemd 224: I debugged the issues currently seen in Staging:F. The KDE-related issues are tracked down to systemd currently not providing the pam libraries in a -32bit variant, thus failing to enable systemd integration. As a result, the session is not registering its seat. For GNOME, the same issue happens, PLUS wayland seems not to like to run in the new session. Additionally, plymouth seems to have trouble firing up in GUI mode, but stays in text mode. The last two items need more debugging... the first one 'only' needs somebody doing the fix. * libQt 5.5 got a step closer... still some yast modules missing to make this acceptable. * KDE Application 15.08.0: with the delays caused by the snapshots, we should be able to provide this next week too. * GNOME 3.18.0: RC2 (3.17.92) is submitted to staging and still looks like we're on track. You see, even without having produced snapshots this week, there is progress and you can expect a bunch of changes coming your way in the next few days (fingers crossed). I wish you a great weekend, Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
