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 lkocman, DimStar, guillaumeg, ddemaio, Sarah,maxlin, ana, bmwiedemann, dirk ## Leap Leap Micro 5.5 GA is tomorrow. I have a draft utilizing my three last "tutorials" of the release article. Legal will look into IPRQ approval today. Some pending work on get.opensuse.org towards Leap Micro. The current Leap 15.6 535.1 build suffers from kernel broken usb. Next build is blocked on s390x product builds, mass rebuild of Backports after snapshot update finished at night. Max: in addition, I did intentionally disable s390x builds in openSUSE:Leap:15.6 and openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP6 project until we get a new snapshot. lkocman: From what I've heard there will be further reduction of build power on s390x. Sarah mentioned already last week that we'll have less resources for s390x. See Sarah's section for opportunity to get more s390x resources from Accenture. Target date is January/February 2024. Feature evaluation https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issues - no new requests, no pending SRs to mirror Fixes for openSUSE quizzes for openSUSE Booths https://github.com/openSUSE/artwork/tree/master/flyers/opensuse_quiz lkocman: Electron web for software-o-o comming. (raised on yesterday's community weekly meeting). ## openSUSE Tumbleweed (ana) openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 53 failed 5 unresolvable (last week: 70 failed, 14 unresolvable) https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz Some more small issues with openQA test machines but got solved quickly but still impacted a bit snapshots timings. Most relevant change this week: security updates for glibc (CVE-2023- 4911: Looney Tunables) and Linux 6.5.6 Updates waiting in staging (no changes from last week): * boost 1.83.0 (waiting for fixes to make libzypp buildable) * new libzypp/zypper stack - (boo#1216091) * fmt 10 blocked on mariadb (doesn't build on i586) ## Richard (Aeon) Not available lkocman: to reach out to him before sending minutes live Staging J stuff was accepted, so we have the skeleton of Aeon inside Factory, YAY! Adding meat to the bones systemd-boot experiments have so far proven very interesting, and worthy of spending a little more time on rather than rushing the grub2/kiwi-self-install based image out as 'the way' unfortunately though, systemd-boot images break kiwi-self-install, which forces my hand to find a more robust installation method for the Aeon images looking at eos-installer/gnome-os-installer which seems to do exactly what I want may also be the route to sorting out the systemd-homed problem as a live image with that installer could have homed on the live image, create the user there, and migrate it to the Aeon system after the image. - That might however make the firstboot wizard redundant.... investigations ongoing lkocman: Do we have any data on how many people are using e.g. dualboot / custom partitioning? The Foreign OS_PROBING (or whatever the variable is) was disabled by default in Leap 15.5 for quite some time (accidentally I suppose). rbrown: Don't know and for Aeon don't care - dualboot/custom partitioning will not be supported by Aeon; folk who want that are better served by Tumbleweed where the installation and userspace tooling is around to consider it, and all the problems it causes :) ## 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 ; done unfortunately, osc branch -r $rev does not keep checkin-counters TODO list: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/slowroll-todo openQA, frozen project link, etc Slowly moving forward Voting for the new name, so far we have a lot of proposals. Voting is done: name remains Slowroll Starting with one flavor, more to come. lkocman: Slowroll logo discussion on openSUSE Marketing / telegram / matrix channel. ## Max Just came back from vacation. No update. ## Guillaume - Arm Tumbleweed: * U-Boot update broke on RPi4 - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1216036 but TW should be rolling again with next snapshot (20231010+) * WIP to get Tumbleweed to run on Lenovo X13s: => Required kernel modules added to the installation images => Grub2 fix merged: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1112520 => Still some issues with USB and kernel 6.5.x (which may be fixed in future kernel 6.6) * shim currently not signed by Microsoft for aarch64 (Tumbleweed only, Leap is fine). Stalled - https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211297 Lubos to ping Moussa regarding raising this issue on the weekly Microsoft call. Raised to Moussa, he confirmed that he'll raise it with Microsoft, no update since the last week. Leap: * No update ALP: * shim not signed by MS (at least for aarch64, not sure for x86_64) - jsc#ARM-100 The last update was that Moussa wanted to get back to me last week, he asked for "more time". 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 now possible [0] (WSL1 and WSL2) thanks to Fabian 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 lkocman: I will inform WSL team [0]: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/overview?distri=opensuse&version=Tumbleweed&build=20230917&groupid=38&flavor=WSL ## Sarah - s390x * Tumbleweed * Can not be built because the foundation kernel can not run our builds completely -> issue forwarded to IBM by SUSE (issue exists since the data center switch - single change was a firmware update) * Situation at the moment: builds are breaking away with "no route to host" at the end * Other news about the mainframe: * The mainframe ressoures will be reduced for SUSE/openSUSE by IBM -> 1 expanded system intead of 2 systems * Max we're looking for a second machine to help with s390x product building issues on Leap. Sarah: Good argument to receive additional mainframe resources: Kubernetes project issue to remove s390x for ingress-nginx on github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/issues/10498 because of missing test/build environment -> SUSE is sponsoring 390x for Kubernetes in OBS. That should be an argument to receive additional mainframe resources. -> All build worker for s390x are down :( lkocman: The new mainframe That would be a nice blog story on news-o-o. ## Doug * Aeon/Kalpa workshop lkocman: we should produce some stickers for these. As of now we don't have any more MicroOS ones. Leap Micro ones are gone too. Would be super useful to have them at workshops. * Sent stickers for GSoC event * Use cases survey has. over 1k responses Ends Oct. 31 * openSUSE.Asia Summit * Registrations 44, Submissions 31 * Discussing another TSP request * Will move items to tempoary new storage * Requested Bus for FOSDEM lkocman: I will ask about an option to have a bus from PRG. (The distance creates is so that a bus driver would not be able to drive in one day) * Open CFPs * SCALE * FOSS Backstage * Published HackWeek article * BlueSky social media added with os-tweet recovery address * Some wiki updates Static * oSC24 dates June 27 to 29 reserved (Thursday - Saturday) * AI topics (static) * Nothing new ## Dirk * usual bunch of factory package updates, supporting python 3.12 enablement ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling ## Maintenance team (Marcus or Maurizio (m4u)) lkocman: Leap Micro 5.5 GA tomorrow, are we ready? LeapMicro 5.3 EOL after release. ## Adrian - OBS Not available ## Simon (Leap Replacement/Linarite) Not available ## Open Floor
