OBS seems to have some hard time finding workers for ceph and kernel builds: very frequently, staging projects are blocked by waiting for the 4 same packages still being scheduled (ceph, kernel-default, kernel-vanilla, kernel-debug) (constraints limit to 18 (ceph) resp 24 (kernels) workers)

Hello,

In the previous two release engineering meeting summaries it was noted that WSL/Tumbleweed had stopped working in openQA, but there is no mention of it today. I was curious if anyone ever found out why, and if there are any plans to resolve this? I use WSL/Tumbleweed on a few machines, honestly for nothing really critical, but it would be nice to me if it was running though openQA. I am an enduser that enjoys keeping up with this mailing list, so I hope I am not out of place with my query.

Thank you

There was a change made to the python-kiwi package that was compressing the resulting .appx (to <file>.appx.xz) which caused the flow of things relating to OpenQA and publishing of the .appx (since it didn't technically exist) to silently break. I'm disappointed I didn't notice sooner, but I'm impressed w/ how quickly my fellow SUSE team member [1] was able to identify and correct the problem. Silver lining is that it really had no impact on being able to download/install TW through the MS Store or update existing TW WSL installs. Also, once this was resolved - I updated the MS Store offering to the 20220415 snapshot 👍️ Hope that addresses some of your concerns.
