Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Unfortunately, we could not keep up the daily streak of snapshots during this week. We ‘only’ managed to push out 6 snapshots. Over the last weekend, we had an openQA-worker causing some troubles, which resulted in not sufficient throughput to get anything ready to publish. But 6 snapshots is still acceptable, isn’t it? Anyway, we had the following releases: 1202, 1203, 1205, 1206, 1207, and 1208. The main changes included were: * KDE Plasma 5.23.4 * Automake 1.16.5 * sssd 2.6.1 * Harfbuzz 3.1.1: as announced, sadly with an ABI break. I triggered a rebuild of everything behind harfbuzz, so unless packages explicitly used the lost API, they should be back in shape at least. One known fallout is still electron, which I have a submission on the queue, scheduled for snapshot 1210. * Linux kernel 5.15.6 * Mesa 21.3.1 * gc 8.2.0 * Poppler 21.12.0 * strace 5.15 * GCC 11: Enable the full cross compiler, cross-aarch64-gcc11 and cross-riscv64-gcc11 now provide a fully hosted C (and C++) cross compiler, not just a freestanding one Stagings are almost all filled, and you can expect these changes coming to Tumbleweed soon: * Linux kernel 5.15.7 * Mozilla Firefox 95.0 * Rust 1.57 * Kubernetes 1.23 * KDE Applications 21.12.0 * GNOME 41.2 * Moving default php version from php7 to php8 * Testing the results when moving system ruby from 2.7 to 3.0: YaST team is working on the main fallouts * Enabling the build of python310-* modules; the move of the devault python3 provider to python310 should follow soon after * pipewire 0.3.40, with a move to from pipewire-media-session to wireplumber; currently failing openQA * openSSL 3.0 Cheers, Dominique
