All meeting minutes can be found here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-meeting The meeting is hosted here https://meet.opensuse.org/ReleaseEngineeringMeeting Happy New Year 2024!!! ## Attendees bittin, lkocman, DimStar, Sarah, Max ## Leap https://calendar.opensuse.org/ is live, we should add Releng and weekly call in there. Members of this call are welcome to join https://calendar.opensuse.org/teams/release https://calendar.opensuse.org/teams/release. https://github.com/openSUSE/calendar-o-o Beta at the end of February (Based on SLES 15 SP6 Public Beta). All package drops and SLES update requests should be finalized by then https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap. Leap already has a wallpaper including the newly elected logo, perhaps we could scan for some other occurrences of the old logo. I see one in "About system" in gnome-settings. I suspect that KDE will have a similar placement. gnuhealth will require 3.11 versions of python-tinydb and python-Kivy + opencv SCC enablement to unblock SLES migration testing https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217966 Discussion about openSUSE Dolomite / Marble on extended SLE Micro call tomorrow I'm really happy that the situation (was https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-20231122-pm-discussion) is now clarified. The new plan is to start working on an openSUSE Leap Micro 6.X setup since the beginning of 2024. From Daniel and Sergio (PM): As for Dolomite, the idea is for it to be implemented as an extension for SLE Micro and we would like to also copy that extension over to openSUSE once the details are clearer to us, so basically a Dolomite extension to openSUSE Leap Micro. ## openSUSE Tumbleweed (ana) openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 78 failed 15 unresolvable (last week 57 failed, 4 unresolvable) https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz Most relevant updates from this last week: * x-mas / new-year break Updates waiting / work in progress in staging: (almost same than past week) * libxml 2.12.1 (lots of work to do), on hold until January 8th * dbus-broker as default dbus session manager, waiting for maintainers to reach agreement * RPM 4.19 (work advanced, %patch with unnumbered patches is not supported from this version on) * Update to openssl 3.2.0 * ruby 3.3 * Mesa 23.3, on hold until January 8th * Delete vagrant & Virtualization:vagrant due to licensing changes by Hashicorp https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/3... ## Richard (Aeon) Work on "aeon-installer" has been supplanted by work on "tik" - Transactional Installation Kit Basic premise has evolved to no longer being graphical, but a tui installer, akin to the kiwi SelfInstaller but with a number of new features Most of these features evolve from a core assumption - all of our installation media todate assumes a read-only ISO, back from the days of installing via CDrom tik installation media assumes a SUSE-style "transactional" hybrid read-only and read-write filesystem, and assumes will only be run from a USB stick. This will allow people to customise the installer, and use the USB stick to deliver things like ignition/combustion scripts, while still actually deploying properly crafted images Core features - Partition for storing ignition/combustion scripts on the same USB stick as being used for installation - tik OS on the USB can be modified with additional drivers/packages from transactional-update - Core installation workflow is very simple - Select Disk, Select Image, Deploy Image to Disk, Done. - Customisable installation workflow by distros by adding pre/post shell script modules in /usr/lib/tik/modules - Customisable installation workflow by users by adding pre/post shell script modules in /etc/tik/modules - Support for both 'single distro' installations, or multiple images if stored in /var/lib/tik Current status Under heavy development, got working module loading and working storage function for selecting storage devices, now working on selecting images ## Bernhard (Slowroll) Last week was silent. Had version bump around Christmas. We're pretty close to TW right now. Moved to a new repository. We don't have signing keys for kernel atm. DimStar: We need Adrian for this ^. DimStar/Adrian: we have to think this through a bit. Continues to roll Slowly, sometimes has dependency problems -> need install-check Bernhard: three open issues in OBS bugtracker osc rdiff + osc getbinaries + building DVD with product-builder does not work with TWsnapshot+dod approach = https://github.com/openSUSE/slowroll/issues/1 https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/issues/14994 osc branch -r release counter reset https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/issues/15079 causes spurious "downgrades" missing build-compare causes extra publishes https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/issues/15108 ## Max Leap 15.6 - build stats in Backports: 34(was 26) faild, 13 unresolvable(was 13) * Not much news, snapshot repo just got refreshed - massive package rebuilding now * Preparing a duplicate SLE/Backports package list, they're candidate to be deleted ## Guillaume - Arm Not available * Tumbleweed: - Rolling - WIP: Still some packages built without PAC/BTI, two main reasons: * assembler files without PAC/BTI (usually reported upstream, e.g. openssl, gnutls, etc) * Packages built without distro flags (usually fixed in spec file) - rpmlint: * openSUSE:Factory:ARM now part of https://rpmlint.opensuse.org/ * we noticed that rpmlint does not check anymore for packages built without distro %{optflags}. We should add it back. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1217840 - WIP to get Tumbleweed to run on Lenovo X13s: * Latest status available at https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:ThinkpadX13s * Leap 15.6/Backports SP6: - No update ## Sarah - s390x Tumbleweed: * Christmas release did not go to openQA -> Any openQA changes again? DimStar: last build from 28th failed for s390x in openQA. good news: * Emulator unicorn updated: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:AdaLovelace:branches:Virtualiza... -> does not build for SLES/openSUSE Leap on s390x/aarch64 Upstream issue: https://github.com/unicorn-engine/unicorn/issues/1840 * 2nd mainframe connected to the energy ## Doug Not available * Logo contest complete * 10,813 votes * Results posted at https://en.opensuse.org/Logocontest * Winners of contest contacted for gift - lkocman: we will eventually have to refresh wallpapers with new logo too. I can cover the Leap one. existing Tumbleweed would be more tricky. * Community meeting * Meeting provides a pathway forward with a two-step process for logo contest * ddemaio will send out email shortly * TSP * One payment pending * One new request * CLT Sponsorship PO recieved Static * oSC24 dates June 27 to 29 reserved (Thursday - Saturday) * FOSDEM Bus Connect ddemaio@opensuse.org if you're in the Nuremberg area * AI topics (static) * Sponsorship of Installfest.cz requested, seems like it was tentatively approved. ## Dirk Not available Further work on python 3.12 enablement preps for Factory, submitted about ~ 35 updates Working on python 3.6 removal in SP6 Package Hub ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling Not available task for lkocman: The problem statement (SLES/SLED expectations) Draft to be composed here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/packagehub-problem-statement ## Maintenance team (Marcus or Maurizio (m4u)) Not available HEADS UP! Leap 15.4 EOL on Dec 31st 2023 Updated lkocman: will look into openSUSE-welcome to announce when a release is almost/is EOL lkocman: no update, I've looked into the package (I was surprised to see that it's in c++), but no progress so far. It would be nice to have this done this week, prior xmas break and have update released. Confirmed that maintenance setup for Leap 15.6 will be with Public Beta (~February 2024) Max: php81, SLES 15 SP6 seem to have already php82. Marcus: Let's not add php81 into 15.6 since php82 is out. No issues. Internal request to add php8.1 to Package HUB. Regarding AMD issue, kernel update is scheduled for a second Tuesday of the month. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1215802 Start working on the maintenance setup with Beta 15.6 (End of February 2024) ## Adrian - OBS Not available ## Simon (Leap Replacement/Linarite) Not available ## Open Floor
