Discussion about how to build Package Hub for 15 SP6, SP7 https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-20230228-Packagehub Leap 16.0 D-Installer profile in place, people who run D-installer live cd can already deploy "Leap 16.0 packages". LiveCDs will have to wait, as we want to be transactional-update only ## openSUSE Tumbleweed openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 188 failed 134 unresolvable (two weeks ago: 248 / 239) https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz * Kernel 6.2 has been checked in for snapshot 0228 - currently in QA: NOTE: nfs2 is no longer supported * Mesa 23.0 scheduled for snapshot 0301 * KDE Plasma 5.27.2 is staged * Staging:L has a few failures collected: * podman 4.4.1: breaks in openQA https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/3111982#step/podman_pods/52 * Staging:O: preparation work to identify the minimal list of 'i586' builds to enable in openSUSE:Factory to allow wine/steam to build/install (currently 992 packages, and counting; big part of it is for rpmlint and such things) * Staging:Gcc7: early experiments to set GCC 13 as distro compiler i586 carve-out from Factory => Automatic migration kicked off with snapshot 0201. Last published snapshot is 0208; since after that, plasmashell crashes (https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1208188) ## Richard (MicroOS) Not available (but updated minutes post-hoc) Official openSUSE Distrobox container made (dramatically improving first-start times of fresh distroboxes) - Distrobox update to actually use it now in Factory Working on a pair of blogposts, most likely for microos.opensuse.org 1. "MicroOwnS" - a guide, with simple-to-copy templates on how to make your own derivatives of MicroOS. Expected to publish today/tomorrow 2. "How to fork MicroOS" - building on "MicroOwnS", a more complex guide on how to make de-branded forks of MicroOS - both still WIP Desktop-GNOME: Ready for Release, but not released Technically everything is working and release quality in MicroOS GNOME. NO KNOWN BLOCKERS! \o/ - but we did fix a bunch of minor things this week Not yet formally released Tests are needed - progress made, but I got a little sidetracked this week PR/Marketing needed Desktop-KDE: Still Alpha, discussions about maybe considering it Beta, in the hands of the (lone) main maintainer ## Max Leap 15.5 Orphan package issue in last snapshot for Leap. This will be fixed in next Leap 15.5 snapshot. * Build stats in Backports(x86_64): 8 unresolvables, 51 fails(last week: 16 unresolvables, 51 fails) ## Guillaume - Arm Tumbleweed: * Rolling, no blocker * NVIDIA: tester with aarch64 server and NVIDIA card wanted - Proprietary drivers are now available for aarch64 (only G06): https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed/ - New opengpu driver also available in OBS: https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/X11:Drivers:Video lkocman to check on who is the aarch64 + nvidia effort blocked on. I recall that there was a chosen point of contact. Leap: * 15.5 aarch64: covered by Leap section above * 15.5 armv7: no blocker ALP: * No aarch64 specific issues 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. 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 Tumbleweed * release is rolling Leap: * bootloader issue after network configuration in textmode -> I will analyze kernel configuration suggestions by IBM: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1188896 lkocman: Should I share it with Virt team + Ihno? How to handle qemu/kernel bug report (handled by SUSE in the past): https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1202727 other output than on x86 for backup software restic: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1208665 -> forwarded as upstream issue (with hint, how to receive a s390x vm by IBM) ## Doug * Open-Source Policy article lkocman: will look at it, Dirk could we receive your review as well? * Google Summer of Code 2023 * mentee sessions appear to be useful * https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2023/organizations/opensuse-pro... * oSC23 * Waiting on contract signature (in legal review) * Contacted staff about deadline * 43 registered, 23 submissions * Added a new sponsorship * Replying to emails about community event sponsorship ## Dirk * Back from sickleave/vacation, catching up with submissions/issues * x86_64-v3 glibc pattern entered Factory. Need to announce properly and do further packages * also todo announce tumbleweed maintainer policy draft currently working on testing those in a private staging test project * x86_64-v3 enablement on some packages failed due to baselibs conflicts over -static packages which need further updates * 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 Please refer to the Package Hub meeting minutes from Leap section. A package hub syncup call is tomorrow 8:30am CET at https://meet.opensuse.org/PackageHub#config.disableAGC=true We plan to discuss effrots on maintaining "freshness" of PH for SLES 15 SP6 No News. lkocman: we'll need to make a call whether our copy && update on request basis for PackageHUB for 15 SP6/7 would be sufficient or not. PM would like to see at least 15 SP6 as that is a feature release, but it's not being "demanded". Please expect some meeting next week. wengel: Feel free to join our PackageHub sync call next week (Thursday) :) Could we then invite Stefan Behlert + Marco Varlese + Gerald there? wengel is going to invite them to our Package Hub sync call. Lkocman: one thing to realize is the 14 months overlap support ## Maintenance team (Marcus or Maurizio (m4u)) 15.5 setup is done 15.4 is working 5.3 is working leap micro 5.2 ... when EOL? Lubos? With Leap Micro 5.4 GA Typically April, we'll see based on SLE Micro GA. 15.5 setup is done (status 21.2.2023). lkocman needs to do official 15.5 Maint setup request beta in ~2 weeks 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? Configuration setup problem for Maintenance of Leap 15.4 maintenance updates / openQA Marcus regarding Leap 15.4 Image respin - package set will change, we do need to refresh the packagelist * Lubos to talk to Jan Stehlik, we can't put all on Marcuses shoulder. https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-20221110-maintenance-disc... Confirmation that QA/QA-maint team will oversee the setup (issues) Lubos: I was asked to provide requirements for the QA team. Mostly for the GA/current release but also for the update. Lubos will make wiki with requirements (something like maintenance plan perhaps). Marcus will review it. * Leap Micro 5.3 maint setup done ffmpeg - (still unsolved) possible file conflict on the next update, no idea how to avoid vendor switching at the moment. Removing the patch on the openSUSE side (that might contain security fixes) or releasing update on the packman side could fix the issue. Lubos to give Marcus some working contact for the team. (Was done, Olaf Hering) ## Adrian - OBS No updates today
