Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

This week was not a record when it comes to the number of snapshots, but there was a steady flow. There were just a couple days where none of the staging projects was in a state to be merged into Tumbleweed – which in turn means we also did not produce a new snapshot to throw at openQA daily. So, with this in mind, the three snapshots (0831, 0903 and 0905) released during this week is actually a good number. One snapshot (0904) was discarded.

Changes that are in the delivered snapshots:

• dbus 1.12.10
• ucode-intel 20180807a
• hexchat2.14.2
• PHP 7.2.9
• Virtualbox 5.2.18

There are still a good number of interesting changes upcoming:

• glibc 2.28; the split of libxcrypt causes some build failures
• OpenSSL 1.1.1
• Boost 1.68
• python 3.7
• ncurses 6.1-20180707: breaks Xen (deprecations added, Xen builds

with -Werror)

• Usage of the new System Role selection instead of the legacy

‘desktop selection’

Cheers, Dominique

PS: for the next two weeks, Max Lin will be taking care of Tumbleweed

For those interested in Kubic the latest snapshot released today is the first which includes Podman/CRI-O as its default container runtime.

CRI-O is the increasingly popular replacement the docker engine as the container runtime for Kubernetes. It was convinently annouced today that CRI-O is no longer an 'incubator' project but now an official part of Kubernetes upstream

Podman gives a commandline interface to CRI-O with very similar syntax to the `docker` cli tool.

I ask people to download the latest snapshot and play about, please send feedback to the opensuse-kubic@opensuse.org mailinglist

Docker remains available in Kubic for those who still wish to use it. But CRI-O will be the most heavily tested and the first we care about going forward.

Expect a more detailed blog post on kubic.opensuse.org when I'm back from vacation

Cheers Richard
