[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed - Review of the week 2017/40
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Week 40 was progressing nicely, with a new Perl version. Perl upgrades are known to always cause a few hiccups because new versions keep on getting stricter and stepping on the toes of lesser maintainer packages. But thanks to a handful of contributors, this went rather smooth (one snapshot was discarded in order to get more fixes in). In total, we released 3 snapshots: 0929, 1001 and 1003. The snapshots included these updates: * Perl 5.26.1 (NOTE: $CWD is no longer in @INC, this breaks a few programs) * Linux Kernel 4.13.4 * webkitgtk3 (webkit1 for gtk3) has been removed (gtk2 variant is next!) The planned updates include: * GNOME 3.26.1 * KDE Plasma 5.11 * Linux Kernel 4.13.5 * PostgreSQL 10 * rpmlint 1.10 * Mozilla Firefox 56 Just mentioning it again here: Tumbleweed is supposed to be kept up-to- date by using “zypper dup”; any other method can potentially leave you with an incomplete set of updated packages. Cheers, Dominique
