!!! HEADS UP PLEASE USE https://meet.google.com/fud-xeti-hvn for a few upcoming meetings instead of jitsi, as we're experiencing lot of issues with it. I did update calendar-o-o to reflect this https://calendar.opensuse.org/teams/release/events/opensuse_release_engineer... How to join the meeting? https://calendar.opensuse.org/teams/release/events/opensuse_release_engineer... All meeting minutes can be found here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-meeting ## Attendees rbrown, lkocman, dimstar, Sarah, ana,GuillaumeG, DocB, ddemaio ## Leap Leap 15.6 with Gnome 45 was published yesterday Several issues under wayland https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1219505 - input methods in chrome under Wayland https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1219486 - memory leak in Evolution (workaround uninstall evolution) We should start working on the Beta announcement to capture all interesting SP6 updates etc. We could use https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issues as an input Reminder that we have check in deadline for Leap 15.6 beta on 21st February (corresponds with SLES 15 SP6 Public Beta check in deadline) https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap#Schedule_for_openSUSE_Leap_15.6 ALP Marble 6.0 was synced to OBS, I'll be working on the initial setup. https://build.opensuse.org/project/subprojects/openSUSE:Leap:Micro:6.0 de-branding in-progress In person discussion with Granite PM, on Thursday Data driven decision for migration (re-use binaries vs rebuild sources etc). PM is not keen on keeping identical packages with buildroot-only SLES/ALP packages. Desktop component awareness in ALP No data yet GnuHealth 4.4 - tracking of sr against SLES python311* https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/gnuhealth Idea from yesterday's community meeting for OSC2024 "Lowering threshold for contributions" 5 workshops to: package basic software, write an openqa test, translate something in weblate, contribute with artwork, distribution/image spin. Each video could be 15 minutes. Could be hosted in a single focus room ... ## openSUSE Tumbleweed (ana) openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 294 failed 166 unresolvable (last week 65 failed, 5 unresolvable) https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz Most relevant updates: * RPM 4.19.1, Packages not included in rings still need updates, see https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/H... * Python 3.12.1 enablement + setuptools support * glibc 2.39 + security update ( CVE-2023-6246, CVE-2023-6779, CVE-2023-6780) * Alsa 1.2.11 * cpio 2.15 * emacs 29.2 * gstreamer 1.22.9 * kubernetes 1.29 (new default version) * QEMU 8.2.0 * syslog-ng 4.6.0 Updates waiting / work still in progress: * Linux kernel 6.7.4 & 6.7.3 & networking CVE fixes & other fixes * Fixes for Python 3.12 * GCC 14 (only for runtime libraries) * libxml 2.12.1 (lots of work to do), libzypp and some packages got fixed, on hold * dbus-broker as default dbus session manager, now everything builds, two openQA checks failing. * c-ares: after nodejs updates, there is an issues with a new package cycle (fix waiting for devel project https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1143773 ) * cmake, macro changes (DOCDIR MANDIR INFODIR) make a few packages FBTFS, no progress ## Richard (Aeon+botmaster) Another brief botmaster outage on Monday, caused by an automated package update triggering update-alternatives for java, which confused goCD as to its location of java. It would be really nice to have the system as a MicroOS host instead of the more fragile SLE/Leap. Been experimenting with a seamless migration from legacy MicroOS Desktop patterns to correct Aeon patterns. However these experiments look to be infeasible. Invisible migrations will either need some new tooling or manual instructions. (lkocman: Could you suggest an update/upgrade via the parallel install, I recall your mod_install experiment? This would cover at least user data) tik development progressing slowly, discussions about getting some contributions from SUSE engineers. Aiming to deploy new aeondesktop.org website this week ## Bernhard (Slowroll) Not available * kernel-longterm expected around March * first openQA test WIP * next major version bump expected in 2-3 weeks (mid February) * Vacation 2024-02-05 to 09 ## Max Not available Leap 15.6 - build stats in Backports: 52(was 59) faild, 67 unresolvable(was 63) * Build597.1 has been published * The remaining qt5/qt6 applications got merged for adapt to the Qt5 5.15.12 and Qt6 6.6.1 from SLE15 * Merged many python application update or deleterequests, but still, most of unresolvables were python applications, and still has many were pending in staging * The tweak of skippkg-finder and 000package-groups works, the noarch ones has been selected to ftp-tree instead of the arch-dependent ones(with an unmatched version number) * Vacation: Feb. 7-14 ## Guillaume - Arm * Tumbleweed: - Rolling again, after the glitch in prjconf which dropped python 3.9 support for some time during the week-end. - 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: 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 * Leap 15.6/Backports SP6: - No update * WSL: x86_64 is fetched from Microsoft Store GUI for Tumbleweed image instead of arm64. But `wsl --install openSUSE-Tumbleweed --web-download` works just fine! - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1219372. This is what team agreed to advertise. We just need to update our wiki and perhaps image description in Windows Store. lkocman: Ah thank you. I'll share that with team. Contents of the image are x86_64. Possible workaround would be a second application e.g. Leap 15 aarch64, Tumbleweed aarch64 etc ... ## Sarah - s390x Tumbleweed: * too less build nodes: waiting for Compilers to be finished with builds lkocman will ping Marcela && Moroni && Martin Piala. * Improved kernel performance for kernel 6.8 from IBM side: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.8-s390-Syscall-Perf Z Training material (recommendations at IBM TechXChange in Barcelona): * Z Assembler (incl. exercises): http://zseries.marist.edu/enterprisesystemseducation/assemblerlanguageresour... * Books about Z Architecture and Assembler: https://idcp.marist.edu/assembler-resources Yesterday was the new release of the LinuxONE 4 Express (rackmount system): https://www.ibm.com/products/linuxone-4/sustainability ## Doug * FOSDEM * Geeko Foundation provide some items with good response * Likely to submit three booths for next year * Project * Open Build Service * openQA Rich: and an Aeon one? * GSoC * Application submitted * Two former mentees are now mentoring * Waiting on site visit feedback for Community-Summit at SUSECON * openSUSE Conference * 23 Registrations, 20 Submissions, 11 Hours * Contract caterer * Travel info article published 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 - various python 3.12 fallout preparations - tried to split egrep/fgrep from "grep" into a separate subpackage, reducing fallout - drop overlays over python311 on Backports SP6 is in progress Dirk: it would help if we could have all the drops in a single staging as they have common build failure root causes. ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling Not available ## Maintenance team (Marcus or Maurizio (m4u)) No big news QAM scheduled 15.6 Beta openQA setup for the next sprint, so it should be ready in mid-February according to the plan. ## Adrian - OBS No update The new composer/product builder discussion was covered in Max's section. Heads up: a first SR related to the composer is on the way. This is done to setup new products. ## Simon (Leap Replacement/Linarite) Not available ## Open Floor Adrian: the issue with jitsi is only with change from 2-3 people.
