Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, After a lengthy integration period, we have finally merged glibc 2.32 during week 41. Of course, this is not all that happened in the 4 published snapshots (1002, 1004, 1005, and 1007). The most noteworthy changes were: * systemd 246.6 * virt-manager 3.1.0 * Mozilla Thunderbird 78.3.1 * Linux kernel 5.8.12 * glibc 2.32 * SELinux 3.1 * bison 3.7.2 * gettext 0.21 With these changes merged, a bit of the backlog has been worked off and the staging projects are a bit relaxed – but not for long: new changes are already in the pipeline. Currently, these things are being worked on: * Mozilla Firefox 81.0.1 * GNOME 3.36.7 (short-term) * GNOME 3.38.1 (we still lack mozjs78) * Mesa 20.2 (Some transparency loss needs to be investigated on Plasma) * openssl 1.1.1h (1 build fail left, neon (gh#notroj/neon#38) * KDE Plasma 5.20 (currently beta being tested) * openssl 3.0 (long-term; no progress in the last few weeks) * RPM 4.16: quite a bit of build failures detected in the first run. A typical error seen is `%if %_lib == lib64` no longer being valid. Bareword comparison is being blocked and the values need to be quoted. Cheers, Dominique
