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, Guillaume, DimStar, Marcus, Richard, ddemaio, anag, wengel ## Leap FTO on Friday Leap 15.5 GA was last week. We're collecting Leap 15.5 release retrospective at https://survey.opensuse.org/ until 21st of June (so far 221 responses in total was 760 previous release). NVIDIA repo issues https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1212189 libzypp fix on the way ^ This should be candidate for a next respin for image. openh264-repo 4k key setup done last week ## openSUSE Tumbleweed openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 19 failed 7 unresolvable https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz * Preparations for python 3.11-as-default-interpreter are completed: the switch is supposed to happen during the next few days * protobuf 22.5 is staged, breaks quite a few things. The plan is to keep protobuf 21.x available in parallel, so consumers that are not easily portable can make use of this (fixes needed for libzupp, open- vm-tools) * libxml2 2.11.x blocked, as it breaks things like perl-XML-LibXML, * fmt 10 blocked, as it breaks ceph * osinfo-db breaks test suite of virt-manager (http => https changes) * kmod breaks installation-images (pending PR: https://github.com/openSUSE/installation-images/pull/647) ## Richard (Aeon) No news this week, status from last week (below) still applies MicroOS Desktop (GNOME) has been renamed openSUSE Aeon https://aeondesktop.org Product already being bootstrapped in OBS, using it as a pathfinder for the ALP Build Design (see below) Prototypical image being built, challenges with things like repo layout will likely be best handled by the repos-via-rpms already pioneered by Leap Richard has been hands on with Agama, has identified a few things that need addressing before Aeon could use it happily..may use it anyway https://github.com/openSUSE/agama/issues/602 https://github.com/openSUSE/agama/issues/601 Experimenting with ALP-like encrypted images with FDE and TPM unlock using kiwi Self-Installer. May be the 'one true way' of installing Aeon in the future, has far less options, isn't as pretty as Agama, but does the job we want it done the way we want it done. Much of this is dependant on ALP stuff getting into Factory which is WIP ## Richard (ALP Architecture) Prelimary ALP Build Design documented https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:ALP/BuildDesign ALP Architecture team is being bootstrapped https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:ALP/ArchitectureTeam Team will plan, design, experiment with ideas for future ALP-based openSUSE distros Kick Off Meeting on 27th June 1430UTC at https://meet.opensuse.org/meeting ## Max Not available Leap 15.5 * Disabled all 15.5 pipeline on botmaster * Disabled Leap, Leap-NonFree and Backports project * Set project attributes for maint update, OBS:RejectRequest and OBS:UpdateProject ## Guillaume - Arm Tumbleweed: * Snapshot 20230604 released with plasmashell bug (actually Qt bug) https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1211628 - This will be fixed in next snapshot (20230613+) * gcc12 was in a rebuild loop (due to installcheck issue) and prevented snapshots to finish to build. Dominique and Fabian have fixed the problem (Thanks a lot!), so we should get a new snapshot into openQA soon. * shim currently not signed my 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: * No update 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 * blocked by Mesa:drivers build failure https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1212339 Leap: * working * waitingSubmissisions with fixes for gtkd and gnu-cobol: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1072852 https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1078385 Sarah gave 2 talks at the openSUSE Conference The SUSE/openSUSE zSystems BBQ meeting will be 7th July 2023. The bi-weeky openSUSE zSystems meeting will switch from 18:00 to 19:00. ## Doug * Merged a few PRs * Preparing for SUSECON * metrics.o.o. Leap 15.4 * Updating news coverage of Leap 15.5 release * Community meeting * Beginning June 27, Meeting 1 (Tuesdays) will be dedicated for ALP *** listed above * openSUSE.Asia Summit * CfP to be announced soon * openSUSE Conference * videos are expected to be released at the end of June * Fedora flock CfP is open - https://cfp.fedoraproject.org/login - TSP equivalent is available Static * Still need future storage location * AI topics (static) *LFNW 2023 https://sessionize.com/lfnw2023 Dan Cermak already submitted ALP related talk + few others ## Dirk Not available Further poking on the CDN / Fastly contract Submitted a few dozen python package updates * also todo announce tumbleweed maintainer policy draft currently working on testing those in a private staging test project * Started ALP:RISCV:* builds in the new build setup Biggest speedup can be observed by switching zlib to zlib-ng, so looked into fixing the build failures caused by switching to zlibo-ng- compat ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling We had an issue with deployment of new 4k key for Package Hub for SLE-15-SP5 which is fixed Some missing dependencies for subpackages repository slipped thru for GA, need to check with maintenance to release them as Update on FCS Leap 15.6 on roadmap implies that we'll do regular PackageHUB setup for 15 SP6. ## Maintenance team (Marcus or Maurizio (m4u)) 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 stuck due to a regression - https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211459 Leap Micro 5.4 maint-setup is active. Leap 15.5 setup is done, SLE export channel is still being refreshed occasionaly. 15.5 GA is currently scheduled for the 7th of June 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 openSUSE:Leap:15.5 is done, Backports are bit more challenging because of SLES. Wolfgang: we're injecting the key. Marcus we probably want to do only Backports 15 SP5 for now. Backports 15SP5 key change, we have labs next week, so nobody would even notice a full rebuild :-) Wolfgang: do we add or replace key completely? The key will be kept on users Marcus was aiming for replacing the key, it would appear as added on existing systems. 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. securebootkey for SLES was rotated, it should be autotrusted and not noticeable. This will be in QU3, QU2 is already done. 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 Not available OBS build power is back to normal after fixing misconfiguration which kept workers busy. ## Open Floor
