All meeting minutes can be found here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-meeting Meeting is hosted here https://meet.opensuse.org/ReleaseEngineeringMeeting ## Attendees lkocman, DimStar, DocB, Marcus, deneb_alpha, Sarah ## Leap pkglistgen is failing on network issues. Issue was escalated to IT Infra, WARNING SUSE-INTERNAL-LINK: https://sd.suse.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/SD-77220 Checkin deadline for Beta is today 15:00 CEST https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap Recent issues might result into delayed Beta avaialbility What about the backlog of SR? Related discussion with autobuild about making our builds faster. So far the only suggestion/quick solution was to increase priority of job- picking by OBS workers. We have now a snapshot in place for SUSE:SLE-15-SP4 changes. That should allow us safely finish our builds, before SLE changes retrigger it. Plan is to update it once a week. Bugzilla policy Leap related update prior Beta https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/6... No additional feedback aside from priority definitions, I consider changes sufficient for Beta itself. Overlap in between SLE and Leap (forking WE packages) https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-process/issues/71 Plan with maintenance team https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-20220210-maintenance When will Qt 5.15 hit Leap 15.4? https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/7 let's keep QT related discussion Leap Micro 5.2 - No update yet, aside from setup being done. https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Leap:Micro:5.2 Discussion with Alex Osthof regarding volunteer interested in Cloud. We came up with idea that he could start a Public Cloud testsuite for Leap, there seems to a blank space where we could benefit from additional testing. Dirk: wouldn't that be redundant after CtLG? Pehaps then test it only in Leap Gerald: What about some targetted smoke test, to ensure it works, branding,...? Dirk agrees. Tasks were given, now it's on Zack. Doug: https://github.com/cisco/openh264/issues/3480 Just needed clarification on the PR as needing to be hosted by cisco. Looks like 3rd party is what is needed, correct? It will be streamlined in 15.4, just not sure if it will be a cisco repository or another, correct? it will be a cisco repo for openh264, rest will be streamlined. Waiting for feedback. libksane blocker is being processed here https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1195978 ## openSUSE Tumbleweed * Kernel 5.16.8 in Tumbleweed with simple drm enabled; NVidia and AMD users reported some bugs, like boo#1195885 and boo#1195887 * Python 3.6 being EOL, removal of python36-FOO modules ongoing. Last week: 80 left, now 73 * glibc 2.35 is staged, passed QA. checkin planned for Feb 16 * KDE Frameworks 5.91 in staging - breaks LibreOffice * GCC 12 pre-integration tests started (Staging:Gcc7); Scheduled for actual merge in April/May ## Richard (Kubic/TW MicroOS) Not available Working on MicroOS images for WSL, using a unique approach of bundling the image inside the TW WSL image, which ends up acting like our usual patched bootloader for MicroOS. ongoing experiments with with kiwi-less, container-first VM image building/adding nerdctl support to Toolbox/buildkit and its limits as a container builder/TW-to-MicroOS converter ## Max Not available llvm13 will be the new default in Leap https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/55 ## Guillaume - Arm Not available Tumbleweed: * No blocker * Upcoming GCC 12 tested for aarch64: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:dirkmueller:branches:openSUSE:F... * Tests of openSUSE Tumbleweed on The Pinebook Pro showed some issues. Most of them are now fixed. Tracked on https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1194491 Leap 15.3: * Issue with installation media (net installation) for devices w/o Real-Time-Clock. Workaround: Trigger rebuild of installation media. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1194660 lkocman: to update the bug with installmedia refresh. lkocman: respin done waiting for final s390x task to finish and then let's republish it https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Leap:15.3:Update:Respin Leap 15.4: * opencl-headers updated and armnn:opencl is built properly now. * aarch64: * Go compiler from SLE still lacks ld.gold which is still required. This make some packages to fail to build (e.g. openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP4/rclone). Bug opened since Leap 15.3: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1183043 * armv7: * armv7 images are not tested in openQA yet, because JeOS-efi image does not build properly due to an armv7 kernel bug with btrfs and lzo compression: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1193852 => kernel overlay with a possible fix added. Need to wait for a new build to check if the fix is ok. ## Sarah - s390x Tumbleweed: * Reboot does not work: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1193889 (forwarded to IBM for all Linux distributions on s390x - escalated by Distinguished Engineer because of a well known issue related to new gcc versions in combination with the kernel) *Bug in s390-tools: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1195914 Builds for Tumbleweed are working again Progress in kernel debugging: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188896 ## Doug * openSUSE Conference * keynotes * Emil Ivov is a yes * TensorFlow/OSS DevInfra's Mihai Maruseac working on approval from Google Brain to provide keynote Hotels are fully booked. (Rock im Park, biggest rockfestival Nuernberg) * Venueless set up ready * Visa and TSP requests starting * Google Summer of Code * Application Complete & Submitted * Projects listed at https://101.opensuse.org/ * Leap 15.4 * Beta annoucement article ready * Debate on including paragraph about muiltimedia codecs * Progressing with release annoucement * Editing wiki describing features ## Dirk chasing a file read data corruption in 15.4 kernel due to transparent hugepages, kernel team developed a workaround A few further fixes for /bin/sh == dash, remaining are kernel, kubernetes and python macros ## Gerald / Board [All good] ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling Not available Need a confirmation from Wolfgang/Scott whether proposal in https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-process/issues/71 will fix the issue. ## Maintenance team (Marina or Marcus, Maurizio (m4u)) Marina: S:M:22734:264499 -> rpmlint released on 2022-02-14 Marina: SLE-PackageHub issues (https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-process/issues/71) we had a meeting (https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-20220210-maintenance ). Thank you, this has unblocked us on the Qt side. Now we're blocked on botmaster network connectivity :-) - Marcus: 15.4 is set up channel wise, updates will go in testing occasionaly, if you need more ping me, no openqa setup yet ## Adrian - OBS Rudi is fighting with host kernel issues in IBS. There are quite some issues with the SP4 kernel. x86_64 - seems like the issue not caused by SP4/numa. Discussion about the Leap build pace. Seems like switching the rebuild strategy would only result into more issues. Adrian: could be caused by numa. Let's focus on this once we'll have stable workers again.
