Leap Micro 5.3 GA Release is tommorow 17th Nov 2022 https://twitter.com/openSUSE/status/1592778626537488384 The next meeting with Cisco about codecs for openSUSE is on Thursday 17th Nov 2022 17:00 UTC SUSE Open Source policy review, SUSE Empoyees can participate https://opensource.suse.com/suse-open-source-policy (public facing url) I'd be happy for any feedback from community in form of e.g. email, since the github project SUSE/open-source-policy is private and limited to SUSE Employees as issues might contain discussion regarding confidential topics. ## openSUSE Tumbleweed openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 11 failed 5 unresolvable (last week: 15 / 1) https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz * TW queue kept small: currently < 120 * Kernel 6.0.8 published in snapshot 1112 * Staging:G YaST is broken with new rubygem-rspec-* - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204871 * Staging:N: experiments with openssl-3 as default have been resumed lkocman: Confirmed with D-Installer team that the plan is still to get it to Factory aside from ALP. Parallely to the current installer. This would help collecting additional feedback and smoothen way for future migration to the next-gen installer. Marcus: openssl maintainers are looking into switch to openssl-3, we're mostly complete, but the openssh update is still staged in Staging:N. Dominique: nodejs is still failing Marcus: we're getting close ## Richard (MicroOS) Significant attention and community praise for MicroOS Desktop-GNOME https://www.ypsidanger.com/comparing-opensuse-microos-to-fedora-silverblue-3... https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/yuts5g/comparing_opensuse_microos_an... https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/yvlr0z/microos_loving_it/ Desktop-GNOME: The Road to Release: transactional-update-notifier still being packaged Samba and ntfs supported improved in Desktop-GNOME Screen recording support being added in Desktop-GNOME Bugs under investigation/being fixed Bug 1205108 New: Redundant program for system monitoring on Gnome osinfo-db still doesn't recognise MicroOS as a seperate distribution - debates with upstream ongoing Considering FDE by default now single-password-entry full disk encryption is in Tumbleweed Trying to decide if it's a better approach than a fully vertified boot/OS variant of MicroOS, which wouldn't use encryption, but would then encrypt user/system data (eg /home, /var, etc) Please join the Telegram/Matrix group and give your opinion. KDE MicroOS Desktop is still suffering from a significant lack of contribution. None of the above progress applies to the KDE desktop. (policykit etc) Please join the Telegram/Matrix group and dive in with helping. ## Max 15.4 CR * There is a poo ticket filed to QA/QE for initial the general test setup for 15.4 CR 15.5 * The booting fail issue has been fixed in the last kernel update * The default llvm version updated to llvm15 from llvm13, not just %product_libs_llvm_ver 15 has set, llvm meta package got updated also * With Build327.1 published today, the only available nodejs is nodejs16, other version below nodejs16 are not gonna be shipped in Leap 15,5, it will be replaced by nodejs18 when nodejs18 delievered to SLE15 * Need to whitelist rage and lua54 in rpmlint-backports ** lua54 is conflicting to lua51 and lua53 ** rage is conflicting to rage-encryption Build stats(x86_64): 24 build fails, 2 unresolvables(last week 34 build fails, 8 unresolvables) ## Guillaume - Arm Tumbleweed: * Rolling, no blocker * appx WSL image now builds in Factory:ARM (tested manually on a Windows-on-Arm machine). This should be part of the (x86) WSL images push. => Lubos will ask Scott B. * NVIDIA: tester with aarch64 server and NVIDIA card wanted - Proprietary drivers are now available for aarch64 (only G06): https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed/ - New opengpu driver also available in OBS: https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/X11:Drivers:Video - Thanks to Stefan D. Leap: * appx WSL images (Leap 15.4 and 15.5) work ALP: * SUSE:ALP: - Still waiting for new images to add back aarch64 to openQA Lubos will raise publish of TW and Leap WSL image aarch64 with the team. I suppose SLES will want to publish Arm image as well (will ping Andreas F.) ## Sarah - s390 Dominique: currently failing as non-readable fonts. No bug seems to be reported yet. The original gnutls build fail seems to be fixed. Leap: * openQA tests have been failing because log files were not uploaded. okurz has created a PR for it at the end of last week: https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/119713 Tumbleweed: * DimStar: Waiting for a fix in gnutls, which currently blocks entire snapshot (https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204937) -> submission staged: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1034574 * git tests have broken the build for git on s390x, but there is no error output. It is working on Fedora (upstream hint): https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204762 / https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAN0heSoc+jKxseyyR-=8+ATc8rdY5UyFWZPepaQsGn9m+Hp... -> Workaround of disabling tests is giving a succeeded result ## Doug * Publishing manpages article * Prepping Leap Micro 5.3 * Bad beer news * Talking with potential oSC23 keynote speaker (Z-Bau reserved for May 26 - 28) Lubos: openSUSE branded table cloth to be ordered. We've agreed on 4 pieces with various designs. I'd like to also investigate an option with "project-specific cloth stickers" for a generic white / black table cloth that could be provided by organizer. Prague table-cloth dimensions are 200x250 Doug's table-cloth has 200x160 Antonio Larrosa: there's a KDE e.V. Advisory Board meeting on December 2nd, at 17:00-18:00 UTC and I won't be able to attend it. Do you want to represent openSUSE there? In previous meetings I tried to ask them to move a bit the schedules and sometimes they did, although they don't really decide those things, it's better to ask the Plasma devs. Antonio: one person to represent openSUSE in the call would be perfect lkocman: Do we want representation in there? DimStar: let's ask Fabian, otherwise we don't seem to have anybody in this round who feel like he/she/they could go. ## Dirk Not available * still feeding RISCV related fixes into Factory/ALP, nothing important to share * python-kiwi 9.24.49 includes profile validation fix for riscv64 arch name, but will also change how containers are built, on its way to Factory ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling Not available Package Hub for SLE-15-SP5 product definition added and SCC is currently picking it up so it will be ready for testing with the beta of SLE-15-SP5 ## Maintenance team (Marcus or Maurizio (m4u)) Configuration setup problem for Maintenance of Leap 15.4 maintenance updates / openQA Marcus regarding Leap 15.4 Image respin - package set will change, we do need to refresh the packagelist Lubos to talk to Jan Stehlik, we can't put all on Marcuses shoulder. https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-20221110-maintenance-disc... Need to setup Leap Micro 5.3 (don't have time this week) * Pending Leap Micro 5.3 maint-setup ffmpeg - possible file conflict on the next update, no idea how to avoid vendor switching at the moment. Removing the patch on the openSUSE side (that might contain security fixes) or releasing update on the packman side could fix the issue. Lubos to give Marcus some working contact for the team. Lubos: I was asked to provide requirements for the QA team. Mostly for the GA/current release but also for the update. Lubos will make wiki with requirements (something like maintenance plan perhaps). Marcus will review it. ## Adrian - OBS Axel: there were some cleaning activities in OBS, to determine inactive users and related unmaintained projects. Is there anything going on? Adrian: the script checks a project or a package that has no changes for more than one year. It will create a delete request, that can be deleted. If there is no reaction there will be auto-acceptance in few days. Package can be always manually submitted back if the DR was missed. Users will not be deactivated. Adrian: User cleanup would have to be discussed with IDP team (SUSE IT). OBS is just a consumer. Lubos will create a request to suggest this action in Service desk. Adrian: if the user never logged in into OBS, that's probably a cleanup that could stay in touch. ## Open Floor Cisco h264 information for openSUSE openh264 related call with Cisco tomorrow at 5:00 CET. We'll discuss next steps with https://github.com/cisco/openh264/issues/3480 OBS team mentioned that cisco could use private instance of OBS. Seems like OBS setup from scratch is no longer that difficult. suse-release provides, lubos would like to suggest adoption of it on SUSE side via Jira, otherwise this can lead to some unexpected behavior.
