All meeting minutes can be found here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-meeting The meeting is hosted here https://meet.opensuse.org/ReleaseEngineeringMeeting ## Attendees DimStar, lkocman, Sarah, Ana, ddemaio, wengel, Richard ## Leap lkocman is on vacation on Thursday The Leap replacement survey for contributors is open till 31st Aug https://survey.opensuse.org/ All reported feature requests against 15.6 were processed. https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features 15.6 the second build is already in openQA, first build had beta identification issues https://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/50 openSUSE-repos Discussion regarding slow fetch of repodata via http were resolved issues with duplicate service repo entries in zypper workaround: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214135 https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-repos/pull/36 LeapMicro 5.5 pending openqa setup https://github.com/os-autoinst/openqa-trigger-from-obs/pull/223 15.6 heads up for the packman team to ensure they're aware of the 15.6 roadmap https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/118 It is ready for download since a few weeks: https://ftp.fau.de/packman/suse/ ## openSUSE Tumbleweed openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 63 failed 3 unresolvable (last week: 46 failed, 4 unresolvable) https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz * glibc 2.38 was checked in for snapshot 0812; That snapshot was built using rebuild=direct (resulting in a larger snapshot); things take care of the new glibc features if applicable * libxml2 2.11.x blocked, as it breaks things like perl-XML-LibXML, * fmt 10 blocked, as it breaks mariadb boo#1213219, ceph boo#1213217 ## Richard (Aeon) Richard's been needing to focus on SUSE ALP topics more than Aeon Not much news this week, more fun with systemd-homed; trying to find a route to making it the default lkocman: If this would be a success we should definitely talk to SUSE IT, to consider home-encryption only as acceptable. As of now it's only FDE on Linux. New aeon-check concept being discussed https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Aeon/DevelopmentThoughts ## Richard (ALP Architecture) No progress, waiting for the results of the poll https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/alp-poll ## Max Not available * newer re2 was in, re2-10 got accepted to Backports as well after newer re2, as providing the backward compatibility to build qtwebengine and chromium * s390x build is still a problem, I disabled s390x build in Backports and did a package-groups adjustment to decrease required packages on s390x dvd in order to get a snapshot for testing * openqa jobgroups and sync setup is pending until we have a complete snapshot Wolfgang: LinuxOne was moved to PRG datacenter but it's not yet running. And the current machine in NUE can't keep up with the load. (Technically the LinuxOne is running but it only can be used when the production buildservice OBS/IBS from Nuernberg is switched to Prague. No cross-location support in buildservice yet ;) ) Adrian believes that the situation will be solved until end of the month. For time being we'll have to skip the architecture. "There is a light". Wolfgang: Storage is already there (LinuxOne was upgraded before the move). Max: we could use increased priority for Backport-15-SP6 and openSUSE:Leap:15.6 ## Guillaume - Arm Not available Tumbleweed: * Rolling * gcc13 bug leading to build failure of highway (and maybe more) - A fix is available in master branch of GCC and need to be backported to GCC13 - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1213647 * shim currently not signed by Microsoft for aarch64 (Tumbleweed only, Leap is fine). It has been sent upstream for review, so it is progressing - https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211297 Leap: * 15.5 aarch64: kernel oops seen on openQA aarch64 workers - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1213620 * 15.5: port for armv7: containers are currently not building/created. Dirk mentioned that driver in 15.4 was the k3s team. ALP: * shim not signed by MS (at least for aarch64, not sure for x86_64) - jsc#ARM-100 WSL: * Works with x86 emulator since appx installer is x86-64, but this is not really an issue since arm64 Win11 includes x86 emulator by default. Team is ok to publish it on Microsoft store anyway, but this would require some testing in openQA which is currently not possible (due to technical issues and MS licensing issues) https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/126083. Steps documented on the wiki to install the appx from download.o.o: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:WSL#With_Appx_from_openSUSE_download_server Note: I will miss all next meetings in August. See you in September. ## Sarah - s390x Tumbleweed * no new releases because of missing build nodes for building -> data center move required. Wolfgang: the date of the final move is unfortunatelly not fixed yet. Physical installation issues such as network installation, and IBS/OBS setup in PRG. Definitely not before August. Leap: * running Enablement topics: * MPI is enabled for LLVM (IBMer has forgotten his enablement stuff on the PC) * luajit enablement for s390x available as PR patches (result of Linux Foundation mentorship) -> next step: integration into our packages 1) https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/pull/891 2) https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/pull/855 ## Doug * Created form template for code.o.o./coc https://code.opensuse.org/project/coc/new_issue * Project Clarity draft still needs some refinement * Background: Establishing a clear understanding of projects the are and are not part of the openSUSE Project * openSUSE.Asia Summit * Checking status of openSUSE.Asia Summit payment * Registrations 16, Submissions 18 * Talks can be onsite or virtual (recorded). * Deadline is August 20. * Submit your proposal at https://events.opensuse.org/ * storage * Returned some items in marketing storage area * Reengaged with facilities on them making a decision * GSoC * Final evaluations due by Sept. 4 by 18:00 UTC * mentors notified * One was extended Static * Checking on FOSDEM stand & devroom - Annoucements likely to come in September * Still need future storage location * AI topics (static) * Nothing new ## Dirk Not available ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling finish Package Hub SLE-15-SP6 product setup this week on IBS to proceed with SCC and CDN availability we need to check orphaned packages that can be removed from Backports before publishing to CDN ## Maintenance team (Marcus or Maurizio (m4u)) Not available No big news Firefox needs updates of dependencies before it can be updated to the current version (Security fixes) libzypp update in 15.5 was fixed by releasing missing dependency. libzypp issue that can be properly addressed only with respin of DVD. See section above for more details. openQA is OK currently. (snapper was fixed) Some 15.5 updates from between freeze and GA need to be released, WIP for Marcus Key rotation: Migration with changed 4k key. Current autoimport solution is not ideal. Marcus will work on update of the opensuse-build-key https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade#0._New_4096_bit_RSA_signing_key Marcus is working also on the SLES side, the update of package with the new key was released last week, it's just not activated yet, but it will be already trusted by Leap 15.5 systems. Leap 15.4 is working Leap Micro 5.3 is working Leap Micro 5.4 testing is now passing as well Leap 16.0 - we should revisit the update/sle repo as the current setup not exactly mirror friendly. Solutions could be dropping not so popular architectures or split repositories per architecture. lkocman: 15.3 EOL could lead to stopping our physical Source DVD effort, as it seems we will not produce. As this was the last release which you could still get on a physical media. Lkocman: anything against decomissioning it? Not a single valid request since I've joined SUSE. We did receive only requests for binary install media which are not subject to ^. We do not plan to offer this for any new releases. ## Adrian - OBS OBS build power is back to normal after fixing misconfiguration which kept workers busy. Servers for OBS is moving to new datacenters until the end of the month of August AC problems in Nüremberg with openQA servers Wolfgang: The current issue in Server room 1 (OBS/IBS is located there) is a failing A/C unit. We can keep the current number of workers to keep with the current load but we can't enable more workers. ## Open Floor
