Tumbleweed - Review of the week 2021/25
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, During this week, the updates have not caused any stir in the mailing lists, which is usually a good sign. We have released a total of 5 snapshots (0618, 0620, 0621, 0622, and 0623). The main changes included in those snapshots were; * Mutter & gnome-shell 40.2 (some late-bloomers to the GNOME 40.2 update) * KDE Plasma 5.22.1 * Linux kernel 5.12.12 * Python Sphinx Documentation generator 4.0.2 (updated from 3.5.4) * Cinnamon Desktop 5.0 So, all in all, it was steadily rolling, without any massive overhaul of the base system. The future looks somewhat similar; these are the main topics currently being tested in the staging areas: * Mesa 21.1.3 * VLC 3.0.16 * Mozilla Firefox 89.0.2: Fix occasional hangs with Software WebRender * Linux kernel 5.12.13 * KDE Plasma 5.22.2 * Qt 5.15.5 * systemd 248: openQA found some regression * sysuser-tools: accepting a 3rd parameter for the config: the upgrade order of packages is important, as this requires systemd 238+ capabilities. Depending on how old the snapshot to be upgraded was, we saw issues in openQA. Things are being worked out and it should be ready together with systemd 248 * RPMLint 2.0 Cheers, Dominique
