All meeting minutes can be found here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-meeting The meeting is hosted here https://meet.opensuse.org/ReleaseEngineeringMeeting ## Attendees bittin, bmwiedemann, Sarah, DimStar, lkocman, ddemaio,maxlin, Marcus, AdrianS ## Leap lkocman will be in the Prague office on Aug 31st The Leap replacement survey for contributors closes tomorrow on 31st Aug 11:59pm https://survey.opensuse.org/ All reported feature requests against 15.6 were processed. https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features Big thanks for Simon on pattern works We've got some negative feedback regarding Leap Micro on get-o-o I hope that current tweaks, pointers to docs etc fixed it https://github.com/openSUSE/get-o-o/pull/167 We'll plan to restructure the text and make it look more easy to read. 15.6 is now Alpha in get-o-o Leap Micro is ready too (images were tested manually), I just need to finish some last fiddling on download-o-o, as I had issues with repodata from initial builds. Discussion with Rob Sirchia regarding Leap Micro + BCI talk at https://olfconference.org/open-source-solutions-stage-2023/ Looking for additional speakers for https://www.linuxdays.cz/2023/ I have about 4 topics that I'd like to have there, but ideally in 2+ speakers. So far me and Dan Cermak seem to be the only speakers from SUSE. Linuxdays is bit special, since it's the most Green-painted event in CZ. Max's refresh of 15.6 packages triggered 120+ Legal reviews. I'm slowly processing them WIKI I'd like to move this from the talk section to official space (initially copied from Fedora with annotation. The page was discussed back then with Ciaran). Feedback from this round is welcome. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE_talk:Accepted_licences#Licenses_in_openSUSE... Leap 15.6 refreshed schedule https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap ## openSUSE Tumbleweed openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 70 failed 7 unresolvable (last week: 103 failed, 6 unresolvable) https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz Datacenter move on Thursday/Friday made us stop TW checkins, as we did not want to put more stress on the migrartion than needed. First check- in was done on Monday (0828) - that snapshot is supposed to go out to the mirrors soon™. Next snapshot is 0830 (just checked in) * systemd 254.1 is in the queue, but blocked by the maintainer due a late-identified performance regression https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/28765 * glibc performance regression fix in the queue (https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1214324) - check in for 0830 * Kernel 6.5 has just been submitted into the queue * libxml2 2.11.x blocked, as it breaks things raptor, the raptor fix in turn breaks redland. This was postponed for a few weeks, maybe a couple of months. * fmt 10 blocked, as it breaks mariadb boo#1213219, ceph boo#1213217 ## Richard (Aeon) Will work more on it later today Richard's been needing to focus on SUSE ALP topics more than Aeon Not much news this week, more fun with systemd-homed; trying to find a route to making it the default lkocman: If this would be a success we should definitely talk to SUSE IT, to consider home-encryption only as acceptable. As of now it's only FDE on Linux. New aeon-check concept being discussed https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Aeon/DevelopmentThoughts ## Richard (ALP Architecture) No update this week, as there is poll ongoing until tommorow No progress, waiting for the results of the poll https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/alp-poll ## Bernhard (Slowroll) Bernhard continued scripting https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Slowroll Dominique: use branch instead of copypac then you'll not have issues with release counters ## Max * Leap Micro tooling part is now complete. * 15.6 first round of submissions from Factory to Leap (1000+ submissions). * We'll postpone checkin by few days to give maintainers some time to react. * New snapshot in openQA, after that I've noticed we're missing binaries in snapshot repo from SLE-15-SP5:Update, thanks to Adrian, this issue got fixed ## Guillaume - Arm Not available Tumbleweed: * Rolling * gcc13 bug leading to build failure of highway (and maybe more) - A fix is available in master branch of GCC and need to be backported to GCC13 - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1213647 * 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 Leap: * 15.5 aarch64: kernel oops seen on openQA aarch64 workers - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1213620 * 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 Note: I will miss all next meetings in August. See you in September. ## Sarah - s390x Tumbleweed * no new releases because of missing build nodes for building -> data center move required together with old mainframe. Wolfgang: the date of the final move is unfortunatelly not fixed yet. Physical installation issues such as network installation, and IBS/OBS setup in PRG. Definitely not before August. Leap: * running Dominique: s390x seems to be ahead of time in publishing. It's the only arch where 0828 was already published. ## Doug * Processing KDE Patron paperwork * Budget discussions progressing * New pamphlet complete * openSUSE.Asia Summit * Resent info for openSUSE.Asia Summit payment * Registrations 27, Submissions 31 * CfP closed * Have offer for storage in Furth (awaiting decision) * GSoC * 6 of 8 final evaluations due by Sept. 4 by 18:00 UTC * Two extentions due Oct. 2 by 18:00 UTC Static * Checking on FOSDEM stand & devroom - Annoucements likely to come in September * Storage * AI topics (static) * Nothing new ## Dirk Not available ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling Not available finish Package Hub SLE-15-SP6 product setup this week on IBS to proceed with SCC and CDN availability we need to check orphaned packages that can be removed from Backports before publishing to CDN ## Maintenance team (Marcus or Maurizio (m4u)) Leap openQA issues with webkitgtk update and gtk4 update 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 "Virtual" server room migration to PRG seemed to work well. Only some minor issues remains. ## Open Floor
