How to join the meeting? https://calendar.opensuse.org/teams/release/events/opensuse-release-engineer... All meeting minutes can be found here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-meeting ## Attendees Sarah, lkocman, guillaumeg, rbrown, DimStar, AdrianS, bmwiedemann, ddemaio, ana ## Leap (vacation on Thursday) Security audit will most likely not be done https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1224165 due to team capacity issues / availability. (same will have to be done for Micro once we have Beta) openSUSE 15.6 GMC code submission deadline was last week. As of yesterday SLES 15 SP6 does not plan to take additional changes. GO/NOGO is today at 15:30. I am invited to the meeting. The build containing all changes after the snapshot removal is still in progress. So the only snapshot we have at the moment is for maintenance updates from previous SPs. Update on known issues https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Known_bugs_15.6 https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1219505 (is in fact two issues) the switching was fixed by Alynx Zhou, by implementing text-input-v1 for mutter https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1219718 (NVIDIA only) # We expect to have a fix https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1219718#c6 - update on issue Leap Micro 6.0 I've backported all changes from SLEM 6.0 till yesterday. We have -RT flavors back etc. I'm blocking Beta on openQA availability https://github.com/os-autoinst/opensuse-jobgroups/pull/447 (merged) https://github.com/os-autoinst/openqa-trigger-from-obs/pull/246 in progress With openQA we can transition to RC -> GM within two weeks. // I'll be attending Fedora 40 release party in Prague, CZ on Friday 18:30 in case somebody from factory@ wants to meet in person Fedora party was great, interesting talk about what's new in GNOME and planned changes for F41. https://gitlab.gnome.org/chergert/ptyxis was an interesting finding Leap 16 I'd like to have MVP of self-install image, + Agama 8 base-system installation for osc2024. After short discussion with Adrian we'll try to do product builds based on the git workflow Update: Adrian configured https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Leap:16.0:Images is setup to use https://src.opensuse.org/openSUSE/Leap as scm. The goal is to use it for building product images. osc2024 Playing with some ideas for osc2024 talk and related branding workshop 3d printable chameleon (needs some polishing to make it look more like actual Geeko) https://github.com/lkocman/geeko-brickz/blob/main/README.md ## openSUSE Tumbleweed (ana) openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 45 failed 3 unresolvable (last week 57 failed, 9 unresolvable) https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz 383 requests accepted in the last week Most relevant updates: Linux Kernel 6.9.1 Linux Kernel Longterm 6.6.31 ninja 1.12.0 bind 9.18.27 KDE Frameworks 5.116 kdump 2.0.5 postfix 3.9.0 systemd 255.6 Mozilla Firefox 126.0 Mozilla Thunderbird 115.11.0 Soon: GTK3 3.24.42 Blocked: * pytest 8.2.0 (first of 8.x.x series), a bunch of python packages require fixes in their tests. * rubygem-rspec, waiting for update of the remaining -rspec packages * icu 75.1 (Waiting libreoffice boo#1224309, new failure libqt5-qtwebengine) ### longer-lasting topics * GCC 14: second phase ongoing, use gcc14 as the default compiler (Staging:Gcc7) Advancing slowly * RPM 4.20 https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/Y...

RC²? or is that RC²2) is built and published through the Factory process, with the Aeon community doing an AWESOME job finding mildly annoying errors that we'll want to clean up before declaring the images RC2 - The occational strange boot issue with the installer media - fixed either by removing the ,ro mount option as the kernel can be racy if ro is set both as a btrfs property and as a mount option, and possibly by kernel 6.9 - Minor issues with migration, all seem relatively trivial to address - Need to correct locale installation during aeon-firstboot - reports of dconf settings not being persistant but no logs/supporting evidence to help identify where the problem comes from yet MicroOS Desktop/Aeon install support was removed from Agama - tik will be the only way of installing Aeon (MicroOS Desktop/Aeon install support will be removed from YaST once Aeon reaches RC2) aeon-firstboot has a PR under review that will support increased customisation of initial flatpaks and will hopefully be multi-threaded to speed up that step tik has a PR under review that will support migration from crypted partitions. Biggest concern is how that will interact with FDE+TPM or FDE+FIDO2 auth, which are the two primary methods under investigation for Aeon. After the above hoping to find a sliver of time to investigate FDE and possibly slipping support for it in before RC2 And after all that is done I want to build multi-distro tik demonstration media to show how it could also be used for installing - MicroOS - SLE Micro and maybe any other distro.. (Fedora? Silverblue? Who'd be most fun to troll?) lkocman: There is a modded version silverblue aka a new distro not sure what the name is ... Only botmaster news is that it's still working :) ## Max Leap 15.6 - build stats in Backports: 7 failed(was 11) * Published Build701.1 * Switched SUSE:SLE-15-SP6:GA build-repo to pool from toberemoved snapshot * Did wipebinaries for build-fail/build-unresolvable package * Pretty quiet in Leap 15.6 staging and Backports:SLE-15-SP6 staging, we're almost there ## Guillaume - Arm * Tumbleweed: - Rolling - WIP: Continue to fix packages built without PAC/BTI - rpmlint: https://rpmlint.opensuse.org/ * we noticed that rpmlint does not check anymore for packages built without distro %{optflags}. We should add it back. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1217840 Doug: rpmlint GSOC topic. Neal will be helping to mentor that. https://github.com/openSUSE/mentoring/issues/204 * Leap 15.6/Backports SP6: - no issue ## Sarah - s390x * Tumbleweed: - grub2 was not building during the weekend because the protect package was required for s390x (wrong architecture dependency set for only riscv) * bi-weekly Z architecture related trainings instead of openSUSE zSystems meetings (invitations distributed via opensuse-zsystems and opensuse-factory): Next week planned about different disks (dasd and zFCP) and qeth for networks, the same as "how to use s390-tools) lkocman: I wonder if the SUSE certified instructor (for universities) would make sense for you Sarah. I can send you link or simply message universities@suse.com. * orga of the openSUSE/SUSE zSystems BBQ party (before Ihno wants to retire) -> Ihno will join openSUSE zSystems (switch from SUSE to openSUSE) lkocman: I'd be happy to join if its around osc2024 skriesch: Planned time 29th June 2024 after the oSC: https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/zsystems@lists.opensuse.org/thread/... ## Doug * Leap 15.6 article * Community translations in CA/ ES / JA / * https://en.opensuse.org/Release_announcement_15.6 *Contribution Workshops likely to resume episodes during week of May 20 * Waiting on uploads of some videos * GSoC * Provided some documentation for Mentees * Coding begins May 28 * Mid-term evaluation July 8 - 12 * https://huggingface.co/openSUSE started (thx kraih) * open-source AI models, tools, and resources for developers * drafting article * Will need to figure if any budget might be necessary * Article for Aeon RC2 in draft - https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/aeonrc2 * Community Summit * 32 Registrations * Schedule published * Received name tags * openSUSE Conference * 149 Registrations * Will publish article about oSC24 - https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/osc24s * Schedule - https://events.opensuse.org/conferences/oSC24/schedule * Received name tags Static * oSC24 dates June 27 to 29 reserved (Thursday - Saturday) * Open 4 Business June 26 between 2 - 6 p.m. at Franken Campus * AI topics (static) * https://huggingface.co/openSUSE ## Dirk Not available zypper/libzypp size reduction landed (~ 5-8MB less code), please CC me on issues ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling Not available ## Maintenance team (Marcus, Robert) Not available We need to publish at least empty repodata to https://download.opensuse.org/update/leap-micro/6.0/sle/ Otherwise I keep temporarily repo as disabled https://build.opensuse.org/projects/openSUSE:Leap:Micro:6.0/packages/openSUS...

Related to future work on https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Leap:16.0 Lubos needs to open request for SR mirroring. Marco Strigl confirmed that current tooling for sr mirroring will not be sufficient.
