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 ddemaio, lkocman, DimStar, GuillaumeG, Wolfgang, Sarah, Marcus, maxlin ## Leap Leap 15.5 RC, Leap Micro 5.4 GA, Leap Micro 5.2 EOL as of last Thursday https://news.opensuse.org/2023/04/27/leap-micro-54-leap-155-enters-rc/ (part 2) https://news.opensuse.org/2023/03/28/leapmicro-54-beta-hands-on/ (part 1) We did reuse IPRQ approval from SLE Micro 5.4 GA docs/i18n Need to revisit https://github.com/openSUSE/desktop-file-translations release-notes publishing setup (onging discussion with Lukasz, and Frank S.) Lukasz is working on a RN submission for 15.5 No release-notes failed builds as of now. openh264-repo 4k key setup 15.4 image respin based on QU2 - TBD ## openSUSE Tumbleweed openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 65 failed 18 unresolvable (one week ago: 74 / 3) https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz * Linux kernel 6.3 currently staged - initial version had issues with NFSv3, fixed last niight , tests rerunning * Boost 1.82 was shipped * Staging:C: openssl 3.1 incoming; a few packages failing to build * systemd maintainer is planning on replace the preset handling macros with file triggers (work in progress) * 2k key formally being revoked from TW setup - the openh264 repo needs to be republished first ## Richard (MicroOS) No news besides the MicroOS Desktop Plasma/KDE is still in desperate need of help else could be at risk of being dropped (again) https://microos.opensuse.org/blog/2023-04-02-state-of-microOS-Desktop-Plasma... User reports suggest MicroOS Desktop KDE has broken, and with no one to maintain it I'm not expecting it to be fixed any time soon https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/135hm38/unable_to_perform_upgrade... https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/135na8x/managed_to_brick_my_micro... ## Richard (ALP Architecture) The general direction seems to be towards building a Leap-like product (Desktops, not immutable, etc) based on ALP (and Tumbleweed?) Sources The biggest challenges facing this plan all revolve around having sufficient contributions, as (compared to Leap) this concept will need a lot more work as will have less already done by SUSE lkocman: I'm not even sure if interlock would be possible, like if we will get any actual 0.X numbers. Would very much appreciate folk from Maintenance, QA, Desktop Teams, and ideally also most devel Projects speaking up about how much they will support this effort, what challenges they see, what they'd like to see changed to make it more viable for them, etc. Have made a general call for volunteers, because currently no one has https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/N... https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/135x5qs/opensuse_alp_call_for_vol... ## Max Leap 15.5(build stats in Backports: 1 unresolvables, 7 fails. Prehaps thoese failing package will not be fixed before GA, I've tested them that they're installable and executable though) * More uninstallable package are removed from ftp-tree according to the repodata installcheck result * Update 15.5 server list to d.o.o on github https://github.com/openSUSE/download.o.o/pull/43, but it needs https://opensuse-community.org/openSUSE_Leap_155_Community_Additional.xml as https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/113959 described, I'm not sure who is maintain that file. Note that, with/without this change should not affect product since we use $relesever in the these files * Waiting for doc team to upload a 15.5 release-notes rpm to doc.o.o, https://doc.opensuse.org/release-notes/x86_64/openSUSE/Leap/15.5/release-not... * Got instlux update and release-notes update I'll reach out to commnity additional folks, we might want to add openh264 there too (would help existing installations). ## Guillaume - Arm Tumbleweed: * Boot problem on RPi4 with u-boot 2023.04, but it looks like related to the openQA hardware setup - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1210949 Leap: * 15.5 aarch64: dtc package has been updated (for libkrun) - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1210812 is now fixed * 15.5 armv7: no blocker 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 ## Sarah - s390x Tumbleweed * release is rolling Leap: * working * waitingSubmissisions with fixes for gtkd and gnu-cobol: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1072852 https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1078385 Nothing really new ## Doug * Google Summer of Code * Accepted projects announced on May 4 * oSC23 * 139 registered * Items staged in storage * Minor schedule adjustment affecting Saturday, May 27, between 16:00 and 18:30 * openSUSE.Asia Summit * No update * Leap 15.5 release annoucement being translated * Need another meeting concerning Fastly CDN * Working on clearing out storage area and meeting to discuss future storage * Finalizing AlmaLinux, openQA, OMP article * More TSP requests * AI topics (static) ## Dirk Not available Improved the CDN setup a bit further (https working now, caching issues fixed) and in progress of collecting in put from early testers. It looks like we have more issues to resolve. Did a strategic benchmarking exercise with various zypper options and a huge part of the slowness appears to be related to the choices of zypper options. In evaluation with zypper folks. A > factor 5 improvement even for european is possible over current setup. Other locations could be better. Sarah can provide mainframe acess - he has received VM from Sarah * also todo announce tumbleweed maintainer policy draft currently working on testing those in a private staging test project * Started ALP:RISCV:* builds in the new build setup Biggest speedup can be observed by switching zlib to zlib-ng, so looked into fixing the build failures caused by switching to zlibo-ng- compat ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling * adding 168 missing Haskell packages (install dependencies) and some more to subpackages for SLE-15-SP5 ## Maintenance team (Marcus or Maurizio (m4u)) Leap Micro 5.4 maint-setup is active. Leap 15.5 setup is done, SLE export channel is still being refreshed occasionaly. Key rotation: openSUSE:Leap:15.5 is done, Backports are bit more challenging because of SLES. Wolfgang: we're injecting the key. Marcus we probably want to do only Backports 15 SP5 for now. 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. securebootkey for SLES was rotated, it should be autotrusted and not noticeable. This will be in QU3, QU2 is already done. 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 No update ## Open Floor https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211022 Fedora enforcing stricter RPM GPG signatures
