All meeting minutes can be found here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-meeting Meeting is hosted here https://meet.opensuse.org/ReleaseEngineeringMeeting ## Participants bittin, guillaumeg, dimstar, wengel, sarah, gp, lkocman, rbrown, maxlin, sbahling ## Leap 160.3 is the Leap 15.3 GM * Next steps get image renamed and signed Unlike in 15.2 we will publish the image to ftp-prod iso directory as agreed in 15.2 retro https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:15.2/Retrospective#.28In-.29Visibility_of_GM_... ## openSUSE Tumbleweed * UsrMerge is now part of Factory; snapshot 0525 will be the first one to contain the switch. Factory is currently bootstrapping with this change (all ports) * GCC 11 is the new default compiler starting with 0525; as UsrMerge and GCC both trigger rebuilds for us, we combined them into one snapshot The above changes will take a bit, which will result in a lower snapshot count this week ## Richard (Kubic/TW MicroOS) Go 1.16 as default now released! Recent k8s CVE's handled and fixes released. Important fixes to Kubernetes 1.21 on the way, but blocked by the major TW work at the moment. People with cluster communication issues should look at [boo#1186125] for workarounds. https://microos.opensuse.org, https://kubic.opensuse.org and https://bugs.opensuse.org updated to include Bug Reporting links for MicroOS and Kubic. https://microos.opensuse.org updated with blog. Please contribute articles to https://github.com/kubic-project/blog to be published on both microos.opensuse.org and kubic.opensuse.org. Experiments started on a MicroOS build optimised for Rancher use cases. Experimenting with casync as an image delivery method. MicroOS Desktop (GNOME) Beta has been released, some pattern tuning identified before it can be considered production ready. Improvements to firstboot wizard otw to make it more resiliant to complex network arrangements. Talks about MicroOS Desktop (GNOME) and Rancher-optimised Kubic submitted to oSC ## Max * https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1184326 missing libzypp/zypper support lkocman: Michael Andres is on it, we might also need to supply ReleaseNotes entry (I have a WIP RN entry for this) * post-release work will start soon * cleanup of noarch binaries needed on pontifex ## Guillaume - Arm Tumbleweed: * Full rebuild due to gcc11/UsrMerge update. It will take a while to settle down. Leap 15.3: * aarch64: * Still not able to build locally (osc build --vm-type=kvm) for aarch64 with a Tumbleweed host. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1183653 * Armv7: * Latest snapshot complains in YaST installer because it is unable to find base products to install. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1183795#c15 (armv7 Leap and TW are affected)(still work in progress) Regarding the issue above: freezing of Leap:15.3, Step and Arm. We could freeze Step project, and have a subproject that contains only the fix for yast2-installer, which would be the actual difference. As Adrian mentioned it's basically additional workarounds. More AArch64 hardware for OBS have been ordered. They will support 32- bit but only for user-space, so no 32-bit kernel in qemu which needs some updates/tests in OBS. (OBS team is on it already). ETA: ~2 weeks. WSL: Stalled: WIP to have WSL on aarch64 on https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:Guillaume_G:WSL The goal is to have WSL-DistroLauncher package built for aarch64. Help welcomed. Doing more integration testing for WSL with kiwibuilds ## Sarah - s390x Tumbleweed: * LLVM bug with different jit data layout has prevented Postgres installations. Workaround is integrated. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1185952 -> waiting for next successful build * Many new unresolvable package builds because of Python The s390x-Port has been invited as a Featured Project with 1 Day Mentoring to the Open Source Day and Grace Hopper Celebration. Presentation about openSUSE on the Mainframe accepted for oSC lkocman: Congrats! * Planning of openSUSE Kubic topics incl. containers as next additional steps ## Doug * openSUSE Leap 15.3 * GM & media kit sent to stakeholders/journalists (please hold on the final iso) it's still only on ftp-stage * Release party article out * would benefit from an update of Jitsi version * Asia Summit article published * Freenode * FrontRunner (best timing) * openSUSE Leap 15.3 Beta T-Shirts Progressing * openSUSE Conference (June 18 - 19) * Next Meeting (every Tuesday at 18:00 UTC on meet.o.o. & discord) * Scheduled published - https://events.opensuse.org/conferences/oSVC21/schedule * Registrations 134 * Speakers sent an email about schedule, sent token for https://opensuse.venueless.events * Attendees will be sent tokens soon * Perhaps related to your section Doug: me and Dominique were invited to https://distroleaders.club Anybody else from the Release Team wants to be in? Yes please, Richard ack! * Early feature call for 15.4 (Deadline for SLE is 25th of June). Doug we have to publish such announcement this week. ## Dirk Not available Filesystem directory permission hardening + fallout openSUSE Leap 15.3/step related installation failures are now recorded in https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:repo-checker/rebuilds Started to analyze a come of failures Focus on armv6/v7 build failure fixes on Tumbleweed (nodejs, various pandoc) Frontrunner Fallout is now 225 failures (149 failures last week), to be analyzed and fixed. (x86_64 only) Dirk: I'd really appreciate some help to get this down to a manageable number such as 20 or so. ## Gerald Having "fun" around Freenode. Any concerns moving to Libera.Chat? lkocman: +1 from my side to move to Libera Sent a request to register openSUSE as a project on Libera.Chat (so that we have control over our namespaces). Now sending a note to project@ and factory@ about a plan to move and, given how things have been unfolding the last 24 hours, expect for things to move faster even than expected yesterday. Any concerns with such a move? [None in this audience.] ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling - x86_64: 2 failed packages left (mailman and tensorflow2:hpc) tensorflow2:hpc failing is sporadically I believe - s390x/ppc64le/aarch64 still some failed and unresolvables - checking on missing packages in Backports/Leap that where in Leap 15.2 (might be an issue for migration) - ~275 packages missing in subpackages module (which results in missing dependency for some packages) We will have to most likely defer these to maint update (talking about the main backports and leap project) Max: let's freeze Backports now and let's handle mailman and tensorflow in maint update Wolfgang needs to save the package state with the freeze. Adrian: Let's propose to freeze Backports project with RC not GM. https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-process/issues/65 ## Adrian - CtLG or openSUSE Step Fixed misconfiguration of Leap sync OBS->ftp-stage zypper patch is expected to be working at this point of time Lubos will test this this week (especially for SLE updates repo, rest required no change) ftp-publishing for armv7/ports, could be set up today. Guillaume and Dirk agree to release the build. However we want to wait for announcement until we have a working ARMv7 build. Discussions about OpenSUSE 15.2 Leap (Boothole 2 Respin). Lubos: let's use respin as part of the subproject name. Lubos to create subproject, and will update the existing mailing list thread. This needs to be ready with first maint. update for Leap (origin SLE updates). Lubos will sync with Maintenance on this. Otherwise deadline would be something like week prior GA (scheduled for 2nd of June)
