Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, This is the 2nd week where we were not able to publish a snapshot. We're having bad luck. After we got kiwi in last week to actually produce images again, we resulted in having a huge amount of tests broken in openQA. Sadly, in a way that did not even make sense: - The user session comes up (GNOME or KDE), with autologin - openQA switches to tty1/tty4 to perform basic setup tasks - at once, plymouth kicked back in, killing the whole setup To the biggest surprise, we could not find anything that would even remotely impact that.. and it was literally chasing a ghost (as running the test there was also a remote chance that it even passed once in a while) So, this week was lost with chasing this issue, and we *think* to have found an issue in systemd and the way it restarts services; a patch was added, staged (with multiple test runs showing success) and checked in this morning... the next 24 hours will show if this actually worked. IF it worked, what can you expect from the next snapshot? ========================================================= There are a bunch of goodies in there, that people are even waiting for: * LLVM 3.7 * Mesa 11.0 (yes, it's in!) * NCurses 6: this one caused a bit of a headache (but not the ones we see now). It seems not to be fully ABI compatible to the 6-ABI that was provided by ncurses 5.9; we'd seen various crashes as a result. Those did not show in staging, as there we do full rebuilds. All packages in Tumbleweed relying on ncurses have, as a result, been rebuilt. Other packages might be suffering from that. Those are likely the biggest checkins we had for this week And the outlook on the current stagings: ======================================== * KDE Applications 15.08.0: we finally managed to get closer by eliminating a couple package conflicts. Together with the KDE Team, we keep on pushing for this one * systemd 224: a never ending story: multiple fixes happened this week, and we keep on hoping for the best. At this moment, I don't have any pending errors to check for. The next openQA run of Staging:F should give some insight though. * Kernel 4.2 * Firefox 41 * LibreOffice 5.0.2 * libQt 5.5 (looking much better, we got the missing bits submitted!) * GNOME 3.18.0 So, a lot has queued up now, and as soon as we get back to normal operations of regular snapshots that actually pass openQA, you should see a steadier stream again. Have a lot of Fun, Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
