All meeting minutes can be found here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-meeting Meeting is hosted here https://meet.opensuse.org/ReleaseEngineeringMeeting ## Participants bittin, dleuenberger,guillaume_g, lkocman, rbrown, maxlin, ddemaio, DocB ## Leap GM will not be this workweek. Expected date next Monday/Tuesday. (Driven by SLE GM announcement) Discussion about orphaned packages blocking progress on Leap submissions. Pending IPRQ approval by Ciaran (was on vacation) Initial rejection of my proposal based mainly on concern with corner cases such as adding new orphaned package as a dependency of update. Translations of patterns are done. WE should be all set from translation side as far as product goes. Workaround for bad baseproduct symlink manipulation on SLE side https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/894248 (fix is already submitted on SLE side as well, big chance that it will be maint update) DocB: zypper search returns suse.com urls https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1186232 Dimstar's maint SR for 15.3 was rejected. Lubos will look into bittin translated more release notes at: https://l10n.opensuse.org/projects/release-notes-opensuse/leap-15_3/sv/ still todo: Boothole (2) Leap 15.2 image-respin ## openSUSE Tumbleweed * KDE Gear 21.04.1 * There was an issue with steam vs Mesa in 0510, which was detected by openQA (dependency issues); Mesa has since been fixed and the fix was in the Update channel to speed up its availability to users. Final fix was published in snapshot 0515 * KDE Plasma 5.22 release candidate is being tested (Plasma 5.22 releases 8th June 2021) * UsrMerge is 'ready' as per staging project; See https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/M... for information how to test (careful: once added, there is no plan to opt out again). So far no test-failures were reported. We plan on enabling that together with the switch to GCC 11 as default compiler * GCC 11 as the default compiler is being tested in Staging:N; envoy- proxy seems to be the last failing package, but potential fix just came in this morning ## Richard (Kubic/TW MicroOS) Go 1.16 as default (and other golang-related updates, eg helm) blocked by https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/882556 - JeffK and I would appreciate any contributions to get cilium building with Go 1.16 Minor fixes to kubernetes 1.20 and 1.21 versions on the way Experiments started on a MicroOS build optimised for Rancher use cases. Experimenting with casync as an image delivery method. MicroOS Desktop (GNOME) Beta has been released, some pattern tuning identified before it can be considered production ready. Improvements to firstboot wizard otw to make it more resiliant to complex network arrangements. Talks about MicroOS Desktop (GNOME) and Rancher-optimised Kubic submitted to oSC ## Max * pending legal review submissions has been processed * https://build.suse.de/request/show/240869 is released, this fixed unresolvables in Backports, now we've 0 unresolvable package in Backports * https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1184326 missing libzypp/zypper support lkocman: Michael Andres is on it, we might also need to supply ReleaseNotes entry * the last round that updating NonFree package has done ## Guillaume - Arm Tumbleweed: * obs-arm-{1,2,3} take ages to build chromium and libreoffice hangs on those workers, so maybe blacklist chromium and libreoffice on those workers? Dimstar: Rudi suggested cpu constraints instead, Marcus M. is testing that Leap 15.3: * aarch64: * Still not able to build locally (osc build --vm-type=kvm) for aarch64 with a Tumbleweed host. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1183653 * Armv7: * No new snapshot in openQA (too long to rebuild). We can't say for sure how long. * Next snapshot will fix the NET ISO hanging in linuxrc, but it complains later in YaST installer because it is unable to find base products to install. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1183795#c15 (armv7 Leap and TW are affected)(still work in progress) More AArch64 hardware for OBS have been ordered. They will support 32- bit but only for user-space, so no 32-bit kernel in qemu which needs some updates/tests in OBS. (OBS team is on it already). ETA: ~3 weeks. WSL: Stalled: WIP to have WSL on aarch64 on https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:Guillaume_G:WSL The goal is to have WSL-DistroLauncher package built for aarch64.

Leap 15.3 GA is scheduled for 2nd June. ftp-publishing for armv7/ports, could be set up today. Guillaume and Dirk agree to release the build.
