Excited about https://grommunio.com/blog/grommunio-packages-in-opensuse-factory/ First feature requests against 15.6 were processed. https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features For everyone: please request SLES 15 SP6 update/change features as soon as possible via the link above, to ensure your request is treated as an early feature. Details on https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap#DRAFT_Schedule_for_openSUSE_Leap_15... The setup of openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP6 and openSUSE:Leap:15.6 is done. Everybody is welcome to help me with creating action items, or even better take action items https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:15.5/Retrospective Leap Micro https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1213428 ## openSUSE Tumbleweed openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 90 failed 1 unresolvable (last week: 121 failed, 3 unresolvable) https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz * kernel 6.4.3 now available (with lockdown) * libxml2 2.11.x blocked, as it breaks things like perl-XML-LibXML, * fmt 10 blocked, as it breaks mariadb boo#1213219, ceph boo#1213217 * Maybe no snapshots next 2-3 days because openQA migration. ## Richard (Aeon) Richard N/A ## Richard (ALP Architecture) Richard N/A ALP-based-Leap-replacement kickoff meeting happened and was recorded https://youtu.be/hLWvC1c7Fms https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/weeklymeeting20230627 (some Q&A were captured there) Key points - There will be a Leap 15.6 - There will be a SUSE ALP "Micro" (name to change) coming 2024 - There will be a SUSE ALP "SLES Successor" (name to be defined) coming 2025 - There will be 1:1 copies of the above contributed by SUSE into openSUSE - Therefore some community needs (especially for enterprise server OSs) will likely be well handled automatically, but Leap had much broader use cases. The door is wide open for the community to address that and there is no critical rush - LOTS of open questions as to HOW the community may wish to address that - Probably one of the biggest issues is needing a lot more direct-to- the-codebase contributors, particually packagers and maintainers Please join the Matrix channel and get involved discussing the possible solutions ## Max * The openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP6 setup is complete, staging project is running. package build has been disabled for now due to the AC issue in server room, per Wolfgang package build will be re-enabled later today or tomorrow. * openSUSE:Leap:15.6 setup is now done including the sibling subprojects * Branched the source packages from previous version * I'm now preparing to enable various checkers for Leap 15.6 and SLE15- SP6 Backports * Thanks to Marco, Rudi, Wolfgang and Adrian for helping the setup process ## Guillaume - Arm Tumbleweed: * Rolling * Latest snapshot (including kernel 6.4) has been tested on Lenovo X13s but it seems we are missing some Kconfig enablement (To be investigated) * shim currently not signed by Microsoft for aarch64 (Tumbleweed only, Leap is fine). It has been sent upstream for review, so it is progressing - https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211297 * armv6: python-setuptools-rust package fails to build for armv6 (hangs in %check) and prevents lots of armv6 packages/images to build as it prevents python-cryptography to build. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1213005 Leap: * 15.5: port for armv7: containers are currently not building/created. Dirk mentioned that driver in 15.4 was the k3s team. ALP: * shim not signed by MS (at least for aarch64, not sure for x86_64) - jsc#ARM-100 WSL: * Works with x86 emulator since appx installer is x86-64, but this is not really an issue since arm64 Win11 includes x86 emulator by default. Team is ok to publish it on Microsoft store anyway, but this would require some testing in openQA which is currently not possible (due to technical issues and MS licensing issues) https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/126083. Steps documented on the wiki to install the appx from download.o.o: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:WSL#With_Appx_from_openSUSE_download_server ## Sarah - s390x Not available Tumbleweed * running * small test issue related to system profile in the installation Leap: * working * waitingSubmissisions with fixes for gtkd and gnu-cobol: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1072852 (waiting for a simple Submit Approval of a Requires since 4 months!) -> Alternative submitting directly to zSystems if Maintainers do not respond -> Resolving https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1209438 https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1078385 * Sarah is organizing access to IBM Z Security Portal regarding security fixes (Spectre v2and other things) -> waiting * SUSE/openSUSE zSystems meeting has happened * The bi-weeky openSUSE zSystems meeting will switch from 18:00 to 19:00. ## Doug * Sponsorship of LinuxFest NorthWest from previous pre-covid sponsorship carries forward this year * Contact ddemaio if plan to attend or want to run a booth * https://linuxfestnorthwest.org/ * openSUSE Conference 2023 videos complete * Thank you c3voc & openSUSE Video Team * Scheduling video posts on social media * Project Clarity * Establishing a clear understanding of projects within the openSUSE Project umbrella and how new project will be identified, verified to be part of the openSUSE Project * Board will be taking this on (Rancher and Uyuni/SUSE Manager) was discussed in the board meeting earlier this week) * openSUSE.Asia Summit * Registrations 4, Submissions 5 * Talks can be onsite or virtual (recorded). * Deadline is August 20. * Submit your proposal at https://events.opensuse.org/ * openALT / Fall 2023 (invoice based) sponsorship approved by Anicka (10k CZK) - Dirk reminded us about OSCC still having some budget available * Trying to troubleshoot one TSP payments * Community meeting * Worked on project clarity & enhancing info on https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:How_to_contribute_to_Factory * EL Collaboration Meeting changed to once a month.

Dirk: Since we don't track downloads from instances other than download-o-o, and we're not switching download-o-o currently. So pretty much same state as before. Step 15.6/SP6 enablement for armv7 Various package updates like usual Added openSUSE Tumbleweed BCI images (SLE BCI images built for opensuse, available on registry.o.org) Location changed from registry.opensuse.org/bci/* to registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/bci/* BCI non-devel images are now available in openSUSE Registry, images are TW based. ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling Project openSUSE:Backpors:SLE-15-SP6 created in OBS (currently build disabled because of AC issues in SRV1, more build workers will be added latest tomorrow) Creating release package for SP6 (SUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP6) today in IBS ## Maintenance team (Marcus or Maurizio (m4u)) No big news Firefox needs updates of dependencies before it can be updated to the current version (Security fixes) libzypp update in 15.5 was fixed by releasing missing dependency. libzypp issue that can be properly addressed only with respin of DVD. See section above for more details. openQA is OK currently. (snapper was fixed) Some 15.5 updates from between freeze and GA need to be released, WIP for Marcus Key rotation: Migration with changed 4k key. Current autoimport solution is not ideal. Marcus will work on update of the opensuse-build-key https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade#0._New_4096_bit_RSA_signing_key Marcus is working also on the SLES side, the update of package with the new key was released last week, it's just not activated yet, but it will be already trusted by Leap 15.5 systems. Leap 15.4 is working Leap Micro 5.3 is working Leap Micro 5.4 testing is now passing as well Leap 16.0 - we should revisit the update/sle repo as the current setup not exactly mirror friendly. Solutions could be dropping not so popular architectures or split repositories per architecture. lkocman: 15.3 EOL could lead to stopping our physical Source DVD effort, as it seems we will not produce. As this was the last release which you could still get on a physical media. Lkocman: anything against decomissioning it? Not a single valid request since I've joined SUSE. We did receive only requests for binary install media which are not subject to ^. We do not plan to offer this for any new releases. ## Adrian - OBS Reduced build power at the moment OBS build power is back to normal after fixing misconfiguration which kept workers busy. Servers for OBS is moving to new datacenters until the end of the month of July AC problems in Nüremberg with openQA servers ## Heroes Planning move of download-o-o to Prague along with OBS. Kristyna Streitova would like to setup a new "updated" weblate instance in Prague office. I told her to reach out to heroes, so there is no wasted effort on migrating the old instance. ## Open Floor
