All meeting minutes can be found here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-meeting Meeting is hosted here https://meet.opensuse.org/ReleaseEngineeringMeeting ## Attendees guillaumeg, DimStar, deneb_alpha, maurizio (m4u),maxlin, gp, rbrown ## Leap Visiting Prague office today. I might not make it to this meeting as I'm traveling most of the morning. New Leap build 181.1 published at night looks good. Added boo#1197080 to https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Most_annoying_bugs_15.4 Shared with marketing a concern about too workstation/laptop centric annoucements . This one is loud on openQA https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1196549 is a problem with Migration scenarios for Leap older than 15.2. Suggesting migration to 15.2 prior to 15.4. Technically this is what we recommend, and anything older than 15.2 is already unsupported. The price for keeping these old unsupported scenarios is getting higher and higher. software-o-o - Talked to Lars about openning a hackweek project for the rewrite https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/softwareworkshop openh264 SUSE's TAM for Cisco has asked for more priority on https://github.com/cisco/openh264/issues/3480 No update since then, I did contact Heroes to assist with any guidance for prefered rsync solution in between OBS and ciscobinary.openh264.org GNUHealth - pending legal review prioritized and contacted legal team aside from that staging seems to be green/acceptable MyGNUHealth - https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/64 / I did email python@lists.opensuse.org with ask for help. Issue with Backports:Update repo during Leap to SLE migration should be fixed with the new build https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1196630 Update on bugzilla / PUBLIC SLE* product exposure We have a fixed date for deployment to production 23.3.2022 - 10AM CET Leap micro * Requested addition of openSUSE Leap Micro to bugzilla * Pending work on InstallerBranding/EULA for Leap Micro we have the ones from Leap 15.3, as well as ensuring that we use correct repo for Beta updates and then we can annouce Beta. I was officially on first SLE Next related talk for project management last week. It is perhaps a good time to start collecting wishlist/features/feedback for user stories that might otherwise be underrepresented. Example: Workstation is not a strong side of SLE but I'd say it is a still big user story for Leap. ## openSUSE Tumbleweed So far, in March, TW is rolling with daily snapshots (actually since Feb 21 without interruption) openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 87 failed, 18 unresolvable https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz * Kernel 5.16.14 * Firefox 98 * KDE Frameworks and Plasma updates * systemd 250 in the makings: one build failure (python-pyudev) and a lot of openQA fails * GNOME 42 rc is happening in the GNOME:Next branch - so far looking good * GCC 12 pre-integration tests progressing (Staging:Gcc7); Scheduled for actual merge in April/May ## Richard (Kubic/TW MicroOS) Working on various interesting MicroOS research tracks: - kiwi-less/container first VM image building Status: POC - nerdctl support in toolbox Status: Broken prototype - buildkit and its limit as a container builder - TW-to-MicroOS conversion - curl-minimal and making it default (like Fedora) Status: Investigating - Re-arranging Factory so products like MicroOS can build with different PrjConf than Tumbleweed - MicroOS Desktop using TIU instead of transactional-update (ie. remove all individual rpm package management) Please ping rbrown@suse.com if you are interested/have opinions on any of the above, feedback/thoughts/existing knowledge is welcome. ## Max 15.4 * Looking into installcheck problem according to ftp-tree, most of them are python2 removal related LeapMicro 5.2 * Set up test project and verified release path, now prouct and SUSE- MicroOS would release to openSUSE:Leap:Micro:5.2:ToTest, container files would release to openSUSE:Containers:Leap-Micro:5.2 (Cloud team is working on initial openQA test suite for Leap Micro 5.2) On the GNUHealth in Leap 15.4 staging please check the python related issues in the staging project. ## Guillaume - Arm Tumbleweed: * Rolling * Firefox 98 is broken on aarch64: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1757571 * openQA still shows random issues with DNS (especially on MultiMachine): https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/105295 * Upcoming GCC 12 tested for aarch64: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:dirkmueller:branches:openSUSE:F... * armv6 fixes: See Dirk section. Leap 15.4: * aarch64: * Go compiler from SLE still lacks ld.gold which is still required. This make some packages to fail to build (e.g. openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP4/rclone). Bug opened since Leap 15.3: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1183043 * armv7: * the kernel to fix the bug with btrfs and lzo compression is not released yet: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1193852 * scc product class looks wrong (Marina/Marcus) (for all non-intel arches). x86_64 has OPENSUSE-BETA while for the others the class is SLES-ARM64-BETA, SLES-PPC-BETA, SLES-Z-BETA. Lubos will reach out to SCC, we should use the same OPENSUSE-BETA for all I suppose. Was this set correctly in 15.3? unfortunately no. the product class is the same for 15.3 lkocman: will check on the status with SCC (I believe that I've openned an issue for that). qemu/io issues - reference TBD we're trying to collect data long-term ## Sarah - s390x On vacation - no new updates Tumbleweed: * Is rolliing again openSUSE Leap Beta: * no issues at the moment * you'll be affected by same issue as Guillaume in SCC ## Doug On PTO - No updates * Community meeting * Discussed the next steps for the proposed Code of Conduct * Added GSoC issue to modernise TSP website for next year. Could use a mentor https://github.com/openSUSE/mentoring/issues/185 * GSoC * openSUSE accepted as mentor organization * Added project for Rancher. * oSC22 * 38 registrations, 12 submissions, 8 hours * CfP goes until April 14 * OSCAL oSC22 * 7 registrations, 1 submissions, x hours * CfP goes until April 26 * ddemaio will be gone until April 18 sasi and cboltz can still release on news-o-o, otherwise there is no offical backup. Collbaration on any sort of annoucements can still be done as part of community meetings on Tuesdays/Thursdays. ^ Doug feel free to change this ## Dirk * GPLv3 free busybox container work in progress (busybox-links was the last found offender) * Still on progress on rust 1.58/rust 1.59 / ghc issues on armv6 and armv7: all have the same root cause, use of SWP/SWPB instructions which is imperfectly emulated by the aarch64 host kernel. works fine with armv6/v7 kernel. * Another build time improvement on post-build-checks, ~ factor 10 speedup in one of the scripts leading to a few seconds saved on every build. ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling short discussion devel:LEO devel:ALP, not much to see now. But it's public. ## Maintenance team (Marina or Marcus, Maurizio (m4u)) - Marcus: 15.4 is set up channel wise, updates will go in testing occasionaly, if you need more ping me, no openqa setup yet - Marcus: 15.3 openQA is ok again. - Marina: SLE-PackageHub overlaps (https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-process/issues/71) work in progress following the initial list of overlapping packages (https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/106610#note-3). More incidents are under QA. Work is going on and under control (and tracked internally as jsc#MSC-303). Already released: SUSE:Maintenance:22929:265929 (babl libbabl-0_1-0 typelib-1_0-Babl-0_1) SUSE:Maintenance:23000:266006 (MozillaThunderbird enigmail) Leap Micro 5.2 - Maintenance setup should be rather small, as we do override only branding. https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Leap:Micro:5.2 Lubos to open a progres-o-o ticket for the maintenance update. Marcus would also prefer as small overhead as possible. Adrian: we could have a policy that if there is an updated for Micro it should go only to the official code-stream even if the package didn't exist there yet. ## Adrian - OBS Clarification on obs-publishing for 15.4
