[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the Week 2016/41
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Even though Tumbleweed did not have any snapshots that needed to be cancelled this week, we only got two snapshots out (1006 and 1010). Or, wording this positively: we released twice as many snapshots as last week. It’s not all that dark though: quite some human resources seem to have shifted to Leap 42.2. The snapshots delivered these interesting updates: * KDE Plasma 5.8.0 * Kernel 4.7.8 * LXQt 0.11.0 * Freetpe 2.7 – some people say it’s better, some say it’s worse * Mozilla Thunderbird 45.4.0 * Postgresql 9.5 Pretty much what was promised last week. The things that are still pending are: * Bash 4.4 – Nobody touched dracut yet * Kernel 4.8 – boo#1003623 [1] * linux-glibc-devel 4.8: 4 build fails to be addressed * KDE Plasma 5.8.1 * KDE Applications 16.08.2 * Boost 1.62.0 – So far it looks like a positive surprise: no issues seen yet Let’s see if next week the pace can be doubled again (to the regular 4 snapshots) Cheers, Dominique [1] https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1003623

4.7.6 AFAIR

It would be nice to see the kernel maintainers CCed next time. thanks, -- js suse labs

correct, sorry for that.

You mean filing a bug against the kernel component, which gets assigned to the kernel maintainers, is not sufficient for the kernel team to be informed about the bug? Or do you mean to CC the kernel maintainers on the weekly review? That sounds quite strange: the team should have the info based on the bug already; The weekly review is not the medium to 'reach out to the people to remind them to look into bugzilla' - it's there so everybody else can see why things are pending. If the mailing list has too much 'noise' you are always welcome to subscribe to the explicit 'weeklynews' rss feed at http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/tag/week lyreview/ Cheers, Dominique

Oh, it was assigned to kernel-maintainers. Good on one side, but it is a kind of black hole seldomly reassigned to real people. It would be nice to CC also the real person in charge of the branch (me for TW, see README.branch) or the author of the SR (me) so they can act upon the report :). As you could see here, 10 days -- no action, then I accidentally read the review and after a day we are moving somewhere. thanks, -- js suse labs
