## Attendees guillaumeg, lkocman, rbrown, dleuenberger, Sarah, adrianS, ddemaio, DocB,

## Leap

build 272.2 - looks good the upgrade tests with libreoffice are gone 1202963

Leap 15.5 (SLE based) background submission still in progress (have to do correct logo placement for all various screen ratios)https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/510119/187942758-7e790c90-c207-43e...

Leap oss/non-oss repos 15.3 ware republished on ftp-prod and ftp-stage from OBS (was boo#1202116) big thanks to Adrian.

Leap Micro 5.3 update repo blocks Beta announcement

Plan to use service for openSUSE Leap 15.5 repo files (advice from Michel Andres). We'll follow factory first.https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/91

## openSUSE Tumbleweed

openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 255 failed, 11 unresolvable (1 week ago: 1983/34) https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz

* The glibc/libxml2-rebuild snapshot put a lot of issues on the mirror infra - up to the point where download.o.o was dropping packages (to many mirrors pulling in parallel to the users, the 2-hour hold is not enough for such large snapshots)

* KDE Plasma 5.25.5 is in the queue

* GNOME 43 release candidate is packaged up in GNOME:Next. openQA over the live iso generated from it looks reasonably good. (Extensions were not tested, yet so we expect that it won't yet be compatible)

## Richard (MicroOS)

BCI-for-Tumbleweed containers are progressing slowly Richard moving his daily driver to another laptop, using the exercise as a detailed UX re-evaluation of MicroOS Lots of experimentation with FDE/Split disk configuration, such as transactional / on SSD and /var, /home, and similar on a HDD

## Max

Not available * The Backports checker is finished and the PR is open for review on Github and is open for suggestions https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-tools/pull/2848 * Regarding to missing liborcus issue on the latest Leap snapshot, skippkg-finder removes liborcus 0.16 from the ftp-tree after it sees liborcus 0.17 was there, we need to update snpshots repo that should fix this problem

Trying to work to solve the missing liborcus-0.16.so.0 problem for Leap 15.5 Lubos: to request a snapshot-update today

*Drop python2* packages completely at the end of devel phase. We keep the interpret as a compromise as of now. dimstar: even python2 stuff still in TW

lkocman to setup meeting for the next steps Rough idea: announce, keep interpret for some time to allow developer to rebuild packages, drop it with certain milestone (prior to Beta). Max: will check how many package still rely on python2 interpret(Alpha phase)

## Guillaume - Arm

Tumbleweed: * Snapshot 20220906 is in openQA. It took a while to rebuild all Factory packages for Arm (needed by glibc/libxml2 updates). * armv6 not in good shapes, mainly due to rust not built (build hangs in OBS, so armv6 build has been disabled)

Leap: * Started to work on 15.5/Backports-SP5 packages/images

ALP: * No update this week

## Sarah - s390

DimStar: s390x is rolling again. Snapshot 0823 has been published (ahead of intel x86_64 thats on 0822). DimStar: same issue again, we have an issue with workers lkocman: to reach out to Sarah and Ihno (these issues are related to openQA - https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/115583 /https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1202821).

Collected tasks for Open Source Day Mentees (a lot of package updates at the end of next week) Sarah has been nominated for a keynote Pannel Dicussion at the IBM Z day related to community contributions:https://www.ibm.com/community/z/ibm-zday-2022/

## Doug

* KDE Akademy contract signed. * contribute.o.o online (thx hellcp & those helping with ymls) * Sent out birthday packages to reddit winners -https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/wjxiqq/happy_birthday_opensuse/ * ALP * Creating & discussing ALP marketing info * Plan to identify info & what help is needed with updating landing page & get.o.o * Meeting with openSUSE.Asia Summit org team * GSoC * Final evaluations begin next week (due Sept. 19 at 18:00 UTC)

## Dirk

Not available

Trying to keep the Factory-ARM project building Debugging lack of publishing - Richard to investigate TTM Will be on vacation for the next two weeks

## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling

Not available

sbahling: Still fixing Package Hub 15 SP4. Around 3500 packages missing compared to SP3. Almost daily customer issue reports. Requires Maintenance Service Center requests for channel modification to process. Seems to be a slow process. Priority on KDE and monitoring- plugins packages.

## Maintenance team (Marina or Marcus, Maurizio (m4u))

gtk release broke 15.4 update stack. Pushing emergency update to fix this 15.5 Leap Micro 5.3 - publishing empty repo could fix the issues.

openQA Leap 15.4 - some updates are not getting approved, QE seems to be not responding.

test update should go out in next test ours, the openSUSE setup is not yet done, we need to setup backports checks and pool repos, we have to do work on our side. Marcus mailed us with project config.

The openSUSE / SLE side in IBS it seems to be ready, on openSUSE side there is a lot of setup that needs to be done first.

Adrian: the pool repos should be in place now.

Some openQA issues in one of the 15.4 groups (timeout), Marcus messaged QE core, however there seems to be no activity.

## Adrian - OBS

no update on SR mirroring issue (no feedback loop for submit request creators)

## Open Floor

Meeting with QA performance team tomorrow at 9am (teams, please ping me if you want to send invitation). This is regarding the performance benchmark in between x86_64-v3 build vs build settings that we have in factory. No plan how to test hwcaps option yet.
