All meeting minutes can be found here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-meeting The meeting is hosted here https://meet.opensuse.org/ReleaseEngineeringMeeting ## Attendees bittin, lkocman, rbrown, anag, Dimstar, adrians, Doug, maxlin, guillaumeg ## Leap 15.6 build failures https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/leap156-build-fails there is a few more exclusively on Arm that I need to yet report. Discussion with PM (Sergio) whether we want to do community spins of both Dolomite and Marble. https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-20231122-pm-discussion (etherpad is down now) context: There was a lot of concern on OSC (and pretty much every other conference when I was discussing future options) that we have too many distributions to choose from. Moving intel-gpu-tools from SLES to Leap/PH https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/137 Calendaring solution for openSUSE is coming! https://hackweek.opensuse.org/23/projects/basic-calendar-interface-for-upcom... Just a heads up that 2023-12-06 is code-drop deadline for SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP6 Beta 2, SLES RM finds desirable to have all larger SLES/Leap features in by that time (Qt5/6 updates specifically). Agama5 is out! https://yast.opensuse.org/blog/2023-10-25/agama5 Supports package selections (we should try to rebuild install media for it in the Leap:16 proj). ## openSUSE Tumbleweed (ana) openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 50 failed 4 unresolvable (last week 49 failed, 4 unresolvable) https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz Most relevant updates from this last week: * Linux 6.6.2 * meson 1.3.0 * xen 4.18.0 * gstreamer 1.22.7 * tomcat 10 (10.1.14) Updates waiting / work in progress in staging: * rust 1.74 * dbus-broker as default dbus session manager * RPM 4.19 (work on going, %patch with unnumbered patches is not supported from this version on) * rubygems ecosystem updates * fmt 10 (stuck since months ago because mariadb problems to build on i586) ## Richard (Aeon) Still working on "aeon-installer" which is basically a fork of GNOME OS Install/EndlessOS Installer Basic premise is to be a graphical equivalent of the "SelfInstaller", with support for our systemd-boot style images which struggle in the kiwi SelfInstaller Will run from a custom 'installer ISO' that has no direct relation to Aeon. That installer ISO will need to have the actual Aeon image embedded inside it for use by "aeon-installer" Very limited/no customisation - Just finds a disk, installs to that disk, no partitioning, no mess, no fuss Got my forked codebase building, and partially loading an image - tweaks to the image are needed and WIP Once it works on my machine I will need to go through the codebase and remove/replace all user-visible references to GNOME OS/EndlessOS and then submit to Factory ## Bernhard (Slowroll) Not available Continues to roll Slowly, sometimes has dependency problems -> need install-check *soon version bump but OBS issues Adrian: (Could you please add your concern here Adrian?) source-based Slowroll needs extra build power causes extra downloads for users switching between Tumbleweed <=> Slowroll 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: 22 faild, 3 unresolvable) * Accepted NonFree update, they're part of the last published snapshot already * skippkg-finder has a misbehavior to handle PSP stack update, I'm working on a solution ## Guillaume - Arm * Tumbleweed: - Rolling again - WIP to get Tumbleweed to run on Lenovo X13s. DVD image boots ok from USB, but still few bugs preventing to boot installed system on USB (ok on NVMe). Also JeOS and live images do not boot from USB and show a black screen which do not ease debugging. * Leap 15.6/Backports SP6: - gnome-apps failing to build causes issue on most architectures: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1216184#add_comment ## Sarah - s390x Not available * Tumbleweed * builds are successfully, but the mainframe is missing behind openQA :( https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/137408 News related to s390x: LLVM has been updated related to OpenMP for s390x lkocman: A new s390x contact on SUSE Side (Marcela Maslanova). lkocman to drop an introduction email to Sarah ## Doug * Logo contest progressing well https://en.opensuse.org/Logocontest * Maybe extended until wiki is back up Nov. 23 and run for 2 weeks * FOSDEM - https://fosdem.org/2024/news/2023-11-20-accepted-stands-fosdem-2024/ * openSUSE will not have a stand this year due to not be elected * 3-1 applications to space * Richard: Distro devroom is willing to give a space to openSUSE and Ubuntu * There is a bus that will be going from NUE * TSP * Slowly resolving payment issues due to international payments & banking * Additional meeting to have Geeko Foundation take over the TSP * AMA session * Interest in having an AMA for your project, email ddemaio * Phase 0 of Board elections * openSUSE.Asia Summit 2024 Call for hosts https://news.opensuse.org/2023/11/20/opensuse-asia-summit-2024-call-for-host... * Finishing ESG report * Open CFPs * oSC24 open but down due to infra outage - https://events.opensuse.org/ * CTL - https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2024/de/ * Creative Freedom Summit (Deadline Nov. 24) https://creativefreedomsummit.com/call-for-papers-2024-creative-freedom-summ... 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) ## Dirk No update - conflicting meeting * usual bunch of factory package updates, supporting python 3.12 enablement ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling Not available Package Hub for SLE-15-SP6 ready for testing (available thru SCC) 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 No issues.
