[opensuse-factory] Tumblweed - Review of the week 2020/46
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Overall, week 46 was good. A steady flow of new snapshots, staging projects that keep on moving – and we delivered 6 snapshots during this week (1105, 1106, 1107, 1108, 1110, and 1111). The most noteworthy changes include: * AppArmor 3.0 * libvirt 6.9.0 * binutils 2.35 * Mozilla Firefox 82.0.3 * GStreamer 1.18.1 * KDE Applications 20.08.3 The staging projects are currently all filed, with more or less impacting changes. The bigger things there are: * firewalld: switch from iptables backend to nftables * The YaST changes as promised in https://yast.opensuse.org/blog/2020-11-10/sprint-112 * KDE Plasma 5.20.3 * Linux kernel 5.9.8 * glibc: CET enablement (Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology) * brp-check-suse: a bug fix in how it detected dangling symlinks (it detected the, but did not fail as it was supposed to) is causing some package build failures now (Staging:A at this moment) * permissions package: prepares for easier listing, while supporting a full /usr merge * GNOME 3.38.1: some openQA tests need adjustments, but getting closer * RPM 4.16: still a few packages build failures * Ruby 3.0: mainly YaST not ready for that switch * First experiments with rpmlint 2.0 started in Staging:M * openssl 3.0: currently alpha 9 in Staging:O Cheers, Dominique
Hi Dominique, always happy to read your review emails. Just a minor mistake in the subject "Tumblweed". But maybe you had good reasons for that, I don't know, maybe you want to avoid some corporate email systems filtering out emails with "Tumbleweed" in the subject or so :D On Friday, 13 November 2020 15.45.13 CET Dominique Leuenberger / DimStar wrote:
