New installations of Tumbleweed are all done by default using NetworkManager (not only desktop, but also server installs). nmtui is the tool to configure it. Upgraders are not (yet) planned to be migrated away from wicked. * Python 3.6 being EOL, removal of python36-FOO modules ongoing. Last week: 142 left, now 106 * Ruby 3.1, incl. switch of default ruby, is in Staging:L - apparmor missing, no visible progress * GCC 12 pre-integration tests started (Staging:Gcc7); Scheduled for actual merge in April/May ## Richard (Kubic/TW MicroOS) Syncing missing packages from Factory that are perfectly valid but only existing in devel:kubic (devel/package maintainers please send your good stuff to Factory!) Experimented with kiwi-less, container-first VM image building. Have a working prototype that works entirely in OBS, builds a container using a Dockerfile, takes that container then converts it to a working, bootable, openSUSE VM. Investigating adding nerdctl support to Toolbox Investigating buildkit and its limits as a container builder working on a tool to convert existing Tumbleweed (and maybe also Leap) systems to MicroOS and/or MicroOS Desktop ## Max * Dropping python2 from Leap 15.4 https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/15: skippkg-finder is done https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-tools/pull/2686, the first verification run has been done, the attribute has been updated for that, see OSRT:Config at https://build.opensuse.org/attribs/openSUSE:Leap:15.4 , the next step is wait a new Leap build finish, poke the repodata, back to adjust the attribute, then skippkg-finder can catch up with it, repeat until uninstallable problem to be 0 * Still a bunch of submission are pending for legal review ## Guillaume - Arm Tumbleweed: * Rolling * Upcoming GCC 12 tested for aarch64: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:dirkmueller:branches:openSUSE:F... * Tests of openSUSE Tumbleweed on The Pinebook Pro showed some issues. Tracked on https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1194491 Leap 15.4: * opencl-headers package is outdated in Leap 15.4 / SLE15-SP4: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1193617 This prevent armnn to build with opencl support enabled. => SR https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/944701 has been mirrored. Release of maintenance incident is scheduled on 2022-02-09 * 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: * armv7 images are not tested in openQA yet, because JeOS-efi image does not build properly due to an armv7 kernel bug with btrfs and lzo compression: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1193852 ## Sarah - s390x Tumbleweed: * Reboot does not work: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1193889 Leap: * Test issue based on BSC1167736 fixed.
