## Richard (Kubic/TW MicroOS)

Experimented with kiwi-less, container-first VM image building. Have a working prototype that works entirely in OBS, builds a container using a Dockerfile, takes that container then converts it to a working, bootable, openSUSE VM.
k8s 1.23.0 still being packaged for Kubic (really wish upstream k8s did a better job of documenting their changed dependencies...)
Investigating adding nerdctl support to Toolbox
Investigating buildkit and its limits as a container builder
working on a tool to convert existing Tumbleweed (and maybe also Leap) systems to MicroOS and/or MicroOS Desktop

## Guillaume - Arm

Tumbleweed:
    * 20211214 is in openQA with lots of updates. It will add support to the new Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.  https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w/
    * Hyper-V support: Testers reported it hangs during boot. This is a bug with timers. See: https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/1393/diffs?commit_id=7d618ce2e9c1bfd89e4efec78396c0d2c6974ad8

Leap 15.4:
    * opencl-headers package is outdated in Leap 15.4 / SLE15-SP4: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1193617 This prevent armnn to build with opencl support enabled.


## Sarah - s390x

* Tumbleweed release not rolling because of compiler bug in PostgreSQL (bug forwarded to IBM)
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1190740
-> dependency to https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188896
A bugfix from IBM has been tested together with the PostgreSQL14 build. It seems, that it would be fixing the issue. Another workaround (provided bz the GCC Developer at IBM) is to use 12GB of memory for a build because of oom with 4 or 8GB. That is working also in a constraints file as a workaround.

s390x kernel issue seems to be looked at https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1192454 (should be under a public product SP3).
