Happy New Year openSUSE! Let's celebrate it with out first report from the Rel-eng call which had rather modest attendance but not as modest as on 29th Dec :-) I did keep previous reports for those who were missing just to ensure we will not miss any outstanding item from previous meetings. All meeting minutes can be found here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-meeting Meeting is hosted here https://meet.opensuse.org/ReleaseEngineeringMeeting ## Attendees dleuenberger, lkocman,guillaumeg, gp ** Please note. We are uncertain how many people will attend the engineering meeting over the next three weeks. If there is a meeting, notes will be sent out. Otherwise, please expect the engineering meeting to resume on Jan. 12 ## Leap Will be on vacation 15th - 26th Jan Leap Micro 5.2 initial setup requested https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-leap-micro-discussion-202... Notes from community meeting - generally good feedback https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/weeklymeeting20211216 Issue with publishing of appliances - missing version bump of certain images and some images fail to build because of removed functionality from kiwi, same seems to be the case for live images. We need to get these properly building prior checkin deadline Beta - ideally Feb 16th https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap Working towards any SLES-side blockers on community features prior my vacation https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issues Features: discussion regarding fdk-aac-free / piperwire update and KDE 5.18 LTS consideration for 15.4 with Antonio Larossa armv7 tasks are still missing in Release Checklist for Leap 15.4 https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-process/blob/master/Alpha.md What makes me bit worried is to ensure we do not skip any translation tasks this release. As the scope of what's needed is bit unclear with re-using of SLES binaries. Any supervising/documenting on this part would be highly welcome. NEW WALLPAPER FOR 15.4 BY SUSE BRAND TEAM github.com/openSUSE/branding/issues/ ## openSUSE Tumbleweed * Tumbleweed has been rolling over the entire x-mas/new-years break period (low volume snapshots, as there was a low number of requests) * Most interesting change was the switch of the default system ruby version from 2.7 to 3.0 - with an upgrade to 3.1 being tested in Staging right now (some build fails left to address) ## Richard (Kubic/TW MicroOS) 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. k8s 1.23.0 still being packaged for Kubic (really wish upstream k8s did a better job of documenting their changed dependencies...) 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 On vacation ## Guillaume - Arm Tumbleweed: * Rolling again after Christmas break Leap 15.4: * armv7: * publish is not really fixed. No OSS repo, no ISO. Images released. => Adrian is looking into that. * armv7 images not tested in openQA yet, due to OBS/openQA sync problem. => Todo: Lubos to reach out to new QA Prjmgr to find people who can fix it. * 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. ## Sarah - s390x On vacation * Tumbleweed release not rolling because of compiler bug in PostgreSQL (bug forwarded to IBM) https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1190740 -> dependency to https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188896 A bugfix from IBM has been tested together with the PostgreSQL14 build. It seems, that it would be fixing the issue. Another workaround (provided bz the GCC Developer at IBM) is to use 12GB of memory for a build because of oom with 4 or 8GB. That is working also in a constraints file as a workaround. s390x kernel issue seems to be looked at https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1192454 (should be under a public product SP3). ## Doug * Membership & Elections * Elections have started * Communications about membership are taking place * Memberships being updated * GNU Health Conference Talk went well * Connected GNU Health Team with a counterpart * Wrote article about new project equipment. Getting approvals from those helping with article content * Community meetings making progress on content to help people learn openSUSE/open source projects Keep through January * openSUSE Conference (02.06 - 04.06) contract from Z-Bau not yet recieved (sent reminder) * Waiting on reply about openSUSE Summit with OSCAL - https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/weeklymeeting20211202 * No update on wallpaper yet. ## Dirk Not available ## Gerald / Board [ 20211229 Gerald joined and felt a little lonely. :-) ] Happy New Year, eveyone! ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling Not available ## Maintenance team (Marina or Marcus, Maurizio (m4u)) No news to report. Marina FTO: Dec 22 - Jan 7 ## Adrian - openSUSE Step Step requires some more discussion as there seems to be no current buy- in from SLE nor Maintenance team.
