It seems that we could release a major version update every 6 months. As otherwise we'd be really behind with our 12 months release cycle, especially if we'd grab latest cockpit around Beta timeframe. https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/190 I got criticized by Debian 12 being newer in this regard than our new major release. Keeping distinct brand might be an issue here. Cooking with Doug an article highlighting changes on Leap 16.0 for pre-Beta which would highlight drop of certain technologies etc and would allow us to gather feedback before everything is set in stone. Both Xen / AppArmor support in 16t being questioned at the moment by SUSE's kernel team. https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/189 - request tracker for evaluation of Xen drop https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/182 - Apparmor 4.1 We'd very much like to keep AppArmor, that one is still being evaluated. Xen story seems to be written in the sand, however, we'd still like to collect both AppArmor usecases in case you depend on it. Leap Micro 6.1 Maintenance updates blocked on https://github.com/openSUSE/product-composer/issues/14 Adrian already found the root cause. Leap Micro 6.2 Drafts of SLE Micro 6.2 schedule are being worked on. Update hopefully soon. ## openSUSE Tumbleweed (ana) openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 48 failed 5 unresolvable ( last week: 33 failed, 11 unresolvable) ~663 requests accepted in the last week (data source: https://build.opensuse.org/projects/openSUSE:Factory/pulse) Python2 is gone🎉 Most relevant updates accepted, in no particular order, most of it not yet in Factory RPM 4.20 Linux Kernel 6.13.1 Linux Kernel Longterm 6.12.12 meson 1.7.0 timezone 2025a rust1.84 by default Qt 6.8.2 fwupd 2.0.5 valgrind 3.24.0 xhost 1.0.10 Blocked / on-going: removal of python 2 almost done!

(AppArmor is still an option, just not the default for new installations) Some bugs, see https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1230118#c14, all tests in staging are green now! lkocman: SUSE is evaluating whether to drop AppArmor support from SLES 16 kernel or not. I did share our usecase and that we have quite active community around AppArmor in Leap too (aside from TW). jsc#PED-12021 (Cathy): Progress on product bugs: 2 blockers left, 2 low prio bugs left Progress on openQA tests: 5 blockers left, 2 low prio bugs left MinimalVM mostly okay, missing product bugs Question: what is the status of yast team for: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1231490 Dominique will ask again => YaST Team mentioned to take it into the next sprint (starting week 2025/07) ## Richard (Aeon+botmaster) NOT AVAILABLE ## Max Leap 16.0 * 5735 packages in Leap 16.0, 1102 pending SRs(was 5461 packages in Leap 16.0, 1389 pending SRs) * released a new build 61.19 * more uninstallable package fixup(problem in ftp-tree) * look into the NonFree stuff Backports SLE15-SP7 * build failed package fixup lkocman: OBS built offline media seems to be already working for SLES 16, so we can expect it in Leap 16.0 soon. Many thanks to Adrian. lkocman: We need to create openh264 for 16 too. ## Guillaume - Arm Tumbleweed: * Snapshot 20250131 rejected due to an issue with gtk3 (and rpm 4.20) https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1236740 * Should be rolling again with current snapshot 20250204 Leap 15.6: * Problems on RPi4 with very long boot and keyboard unrecognized with latest rapsberrypi-eeprom update (update taken from TW) - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1230104 Leap 16.0 dev: * No blocker FOSDEM: Was nice to talk with some of you! ## Doug * FOSDEM * Several visitors at booth * T-Shirts & beer down * Had risc-v board on display along with an AI GPU * Geekos received about 1,223.00 GBP in donations * Support TSP for event * Help cover some costs * Early Adopter Tech Summit 14.03.25 * Registrations 22 * thx henne for OSEM fixes * openSUSE Conference (26.06.25 to 28.06.25 at Z-Bau) * Registrations 13, Submissions 7 * Received paramedic offer * Received GUADEC sponsorship invoice * GSoC * List of accepted mentoring organizations to be published Feb. 27 ## Dirk NOT AVAILABLE ## Maintenance (Marcus, Robert) Nothing out of the ordinary xfce4 update: waiting for reviews ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling, Nathan Cutler NOT AVAILABLE ## Adrian - OBS Working on offline image for Agama. ## Bernhard - Slowroll rolling normally.
