[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the Weeks 2016/20
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, This week we finally could add the long awaited Qt 5.6 to Tumbleweed. It was blocked for a long time as it exposed a bug in, what showed, icewm (the window manager used during installation). This bug though is so deeply nested in the architecture of icewm, that in the end, it was decided to workaround the bug with a ‘fix’ in YaST directly. During this week, there were 4 snapshots published (0514, 0516, 0517 & 0519). The most notable changes were: * Qt 5.6 – as mentioned in the intro * KDE Framework 5.22.0 * Plasma 5.6.4 * GNOME 3.20.2 – packages were spread over a longer period to get you fixes as early as possible The season of ‘larger’ changes has started – and we now have in Staging: * GCC6 as default compiler for our distribution * Perl 5.24.0 – It would not be perl if nothing would break * KDE Applications 16.04.1 – Shaping up, mostly legal reviews pending * Linux kernel 4.6 Have a great time and use every moment to 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

* KDE Applications 16.04.1 – Shaping up, mostly legal reviews pending
Just out of curiosity, what kind of (potential) legal issues are there with KDE Applications? -- Karl Ove Hufthammer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The code was split from a (larger) repository to a smaller number of repositories. As these now contain even very old code, there may be incompatible licenses (mostly variants of [L]GPL and incompatible versions) hiding in smaller number of files. Upstream has mostly cleaned it up (and some were done thanks to the notices the legal team sent us), but there might still some lurking around. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Thank you for the information. It is reassuring to know that great care is being taken in the legal/licensing reviews. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
