(COFIT Job fair) Merged pending submissions for openSUSE-repos (Slowroll + duplicate slashes). skelcd / EULA work on Micro 6.0 to finalize Package DVD builds ## openSUSE Tumbleweed (ana) openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 135 failed 25 unresolvable (last week 149 failed, 23 unresolvable) https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz => Around ~35 are python packages that are still failing to build (with Python 3.12), big improvement since last week More than 1200 SR accepted since last week.

(as last week there were 188 spec files left with this issue in Factory) * Python 3.12+removal of 3.9 modules: Not all modules fixed to build with Python 3.12, removal of python 3.9 modules blocked by build failures. Python3.9 interpreter would stay for some time more. * go1.22 as default go version, blocked on i586 with packages which export CGO_ENABLED=0 and go build -buildmode pie https://github.com/golang/go/issues/64875 (needs to update ~70 packages) traking at https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1221095 * libxml 2.12.1, on hold, no progress * dbus-broker as default dbus session manager, now everything builds, two openQA checks failing. * memtest86+ (waiting for update of installation-images, https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1221221 ) * grub2 with support for BLS - Boot Loader Specification, blocked by a kiwi update, open issue https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1161323 https://github.com/OSInside/kiwi/issues/2497 ## Richard (Aeon+botmaster) A number of Release Announcements are currently being blocked as spam by lists.opensuse.org. This has (finally) been reported to admin@opensuse.org (which was also blocking the error reports...) lkocman: sourcedvd requests have also like 5 spam messages a day from various domains. It wasn't like that a year ago Richard: which email address is used for build failure announcements? Is it @suse.de? Dimstar: it's @opensuse.org one. Building mkosi based images, in doing so found plenty of issues with mkosi packaging (fixed with consultation with upstream), and possibly obs-build (to be reported after packaging issues fixed) But basic images are now building, figuring out how to actually make them bootable now Adrian: I was not aware that we're using mkosi for building images. Luka + Ludwig? working on it. Rebasing images might be broken. Richard: missing deps were sent to mkosi, they should be on the way to Factory. tik (Transactional Installation Kit) is now packaged and will be otw to Factory soon, but should only be used in conjunction with images - installing on any other system will turn it into an installer and just boot into tik. ## Max Leap 15.6 - build stats in Backports: 42 failed(was 80), 5 unresolvable(was 30) lkocman: Great job Max! * Published build641.1 on Mar. 26 * More build fixes has been merged * Dropped unneed haskell package * Dropped build unresolvabled Django module package lkocman: SLES 15 SP6 working towards their first RC. Please expect ## Guillaume - Arm * Tumbleweed: - Rolling - WIP: Still some packages built without PAC/BTI - rpmlint: 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 Doug: rpmlint GSOC topic. Neal will be helping to mentor that. https://github.com/openSUSE/mentoring/issues/204 * Leap 15.6/Backports SP6: - Fixed: Firefox killed due to OOM - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1221314 ## Sarah - s390x Tumbleweed: - plasma6-desktop requires xorg drivers (already sumbmitted with removing ExclusiveArch) - z13 not supported any more for python-numpy (End of Life announced for z13 end of the year): VXE as CPU feature forced: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1221902 - Upstream gcc Developers want to receive additional hints with packages for a high amount of used memory: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101523 Adrian will look into this. -> Most memory problems solved - Adopted constraints based on improvements: PostgreSQL16, kokkos, arpack-ng Question: Does anybody know a raising package with high memory usage on s390x? Miroslav Franc mentioned some potential issue with memory flushing on s390x which could be causing random fails. Could that be related? (lkocman will mention it to Marcela+Ihno so she can look into it). Miroslav mentioned https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101523 which he got from Marcela this is separate issue from https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214702 Both can cause unstable workers the latter is the TLB/flush firmware issue, where we're pending patch to supply further debugging info from runtime. ## Doug * Desktop wallpaper collection * Request is made for Leap 16 * Lubos and I have access to UI/UX team tool (airtable) * The idea is: an abstract wallpaper with the project logo that could be used across all distros, one abstract with the distribution logo, a night/day digital art one with chameleon, and two photos from a community photo competition or similar. * Interest expressed by BYU-Idaho to start a Linux Society * metrics.opensuse.org * Beta info is being captured * Waiting on reply about OSRT:Review panel * Experiencing login issues with wiki (progress.o.o. #157852 update) * Need infra to physically access beans/matamo machine to verify/fix problem #154984 * Send marketing package for Augsburg event * Contribution Workshops * More sign ups at https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/openSUSE-Contribution-Workshop * Episode 4 - Rust Packaging (238 Views) * Episode 5 - Contributing to openSUSE Leap - Project structure, feature tracking, package updates for SLES packages (next week) * Episode 6 - Host your own openSUSE mirror (Upload expected next week) * Episode 7 - Custom openSUSE (Leap / Leap Micro) image spin in a few minutes. (Needs scheduling) * Plasma 6 & GNOME 46 articles published * GSoC * Interest expressed by mentee to work on the Dyad proposal. https://github.com/openSUSE/mentoring/issues/211 * Will need collective assistance from project contributors as this is a large project * Ranking due from admins on April 24 by 18:00 UTC lkocman: there was a person or two asking about GSOC @COFIT job fair. We probably need to promote the option (SUSE/openSUSE mentorship) more on university events. * Community Summit * 14 Registrations, 9 Submissions, 4 Hours * openSUSE Conference * 73 Registrations, 41 Submissions, 23 Hours (5 Open 4 Business Submissions) Static * oSC24 dates June 27 to 29 reserved (Thursday - Saturday) * Open 4 Business June 26 between 2 - 6 p.m. at Franken Campus * AI topics (static) ## Dirk Not available ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling - fixed annoying bug in openSUSE:Backports:SLE-12-SP5 where repo data for some packages was invalid - python2 cleanup in subpackages for SLE-15-SP6 ## Maintenance team (Marcus or Maurizio (m4u)) Not available ## Adrian - OBS No update ## Bernhard Slowroll * Added https://trello.com/b/dAWnojmd/slowroll * Got rid of most bogus downgrades (except with _multibuild) * configured update repo as 'maintenance_release' to keep old packages * configured zstd repo metadata * tested openSUSE-repos update * https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=openSUSE:Slowroll&diff=185407&oldid=184879 ## Open Floor Some complains about jitsi, reconnects needed (evidence from today morning with 5th person on the call). People suggest to use substitute. Should we go back to google-meet? I have no issue with that. https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/155185 - is still open currently owned by SchoolGuy/ lkocman: Enno confirmed that he'll join, Georg has a conflict Adrian: a lots of delete requests, that will be automatically accepted in the afternoon today. The trigger was a change to multibuild. We're trying to remove unnecessary builds. Dominique: we don't have linked packages any more. So there should be no more of these.
