The problem seems to be that some of the mirrors do not have the files, but the download redirector has the wrong information and thinks they do have the files, so you get redirected sometimes to a bad mirror. Thus, as shown by my post, if you use a smart downloader aware of metalinks, you can download the things at full speed as I did. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Leap downloads are broken ticket poo#94273

by Lubos Kocman

Hello openSUSE! seems like the redirect for Leap doesn't work as expected. People are reporting that they're getting 404 for All Leap downloads. Same for me (I get redirected to widehat.opensuse.org which then returns 404). Seems like this is a very recent issue. I did open the high priority ticket for Heroes as I couldn't see any public item in the openSUSE admin queue. The ticket is private until somebody from admins triages it. https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/94273 Thank you for your understanding and we're sorry for the inconvenience.

Moving from Freenode to Libera.Chat

by Gerald Pfeifer

Hi everyone, as some of you noticed, lately there've been challenges around Freenode, the IRC network that has been home to a number of openSUSE channels for years. See, for example, https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/05/freenode-irc-has-been-taken-over-by… https://news.itsfoss.com/freenode-controversy/ Approached by several of you we discussed this with those, the board, and the weekly release meeting. There is consensus to move our channels to Libera.Chat ( https://libera.chat ), a new network many other projects are migrating to as well. With help from Antonio and Sasi I already registered the openSUSE project with Libera.Chat (which by itself is not a move yet) and Marcus R. and others are ready to execute the move. The plan of record is to move quickly. If you have any concerns or questions, please advise as soon as possible. Likewise if you support. Thanks, Gerald PS: https://code.opensuse.org/board/tickets/issue/4 publicly tracks this matter on the openSUSE side; feel free to chime in there. -- Dr. Gerald Pfeifer <gp(a)suse.com>, CTO @SUSE + chair @openSUSE

Thank you all for participating in the openSUSE Leap 15.3 retrospective

by Lubos Kocman

Hello openSUSE! I'd like to give big thanks to all of those who participated in our openSUSE Leap 15.3 release retrospective. We've received 605 responses which is almost 200 more than in 15.2. I'm grateful for the increased participation as it shows us that it makes sense to have this type of feedback loop. First round of public interview will be held on the openSUSE conference https://events.opensuse.org/conferences/oSVC21/program/proposals/3479/ Everyone is welcome to join us. We'll schedule some more public rounds on meet-o-o as well, as you can't review all of feedback + create action items in a single session. The outcome will then be categorized similarly as our *15.2 retrospective unless we all agree on some better structure. For those who are interested the raw data from our survey is already linked to this wiki page. https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:15.3/Retrospective Thank you Lubos Kocman openSUSE Leap Release Manager

Swe translation about pressrealse.

by Johan Dot

Hi! I have a weary wobbly notice on openSUSE and forums. It seems to me that the translation was made by Google translate. Leap15.3. As a Swede, rubbish. No success for Swedish newcomers. Maybe about have a mirror(30-100Mbit)on my site I have been thinking. No I have not upgrade yet to 15.3. May by I will ask for membership When R:B are away. Best regards /JoNte

openSUSE Board - 2021-06-07 Minutes

by Neal Gompa

Meeting minutes for Board call on 2021-06-07 @ 13:00 CEST Attendees: Gerald, Gertjan, Simon, Neal, Syds Absent: Vinz, Axel Guests: Doug, Luna, Maurizio, Onralp, Bill Meeting start * Gerald asks for additional topics from the community Agenda: * Moderator accountability: https://code.opensuse.org/board/tickets/issue/9 Simon would like to have a consistent accounting of moderation/bans for Board review Gertjan notes that the forums banlist is almost entirely spammers, trolls usually die out before bans/moderation has to be done It's also noted that this is the same in Matrix, Discord, and Telegram. Mau notes Discord moderation log is public already. Gerald restates the topic for clarification and Simon agrees with it. Simon wants a global (non-public) archive, Neal mentions we could probably auto-archive into code.opensuse.org using APIs of all platforms. Onralp notes Telegram has an API for this and he does this already with a bot. Simon wants the archive to note who did the ban and when and on what platform. Mau would not want the archive with moderator name public. Simon really wants the moderator info to contact for mod/ban review. Mau asks about the moderator list, Neal points out it may be impractical due to how mods are managed. Neal suggests a moderator lead for each platform, Simon wants all moderators and thinks we don't have too many. Gertjan notes that he's had targeted harassment as a moderator. Board agrees that we should have a global archive in one place for moderators to review and collect contact info for moderators. Further implementation details TBD. * Freenode -> Libera Chat for IRC: https://code.opensuse.org/board/tickets/issue/4 Gerald asks what's left. Simon and Neal note we need to complete the switchover. Gerald states a trite computer science phrase. "Every problem can be solved with another level of indirection" Neal suggests the Board needs to make a formal announcement and update all the Freenode channel topics with that announcement, specifically to avoid getting the Freenode hijack so that people *don't* get confused. Gerald asks Neal if he can handle it. Neal will write the announcement and talk to darix about applying it to channels. * Improving the Board meeting/attendance experience: https://code.opensuse.org/board/tickets/issue/7 Luna asks for regular notifications of upcoming meetings. Neal notes he and Sasi have been looking at deploying fedocal for other reasons and would help here: https://pagure.io/fedocal Gerald suggests the minute taker announce the next meeting as an interim solution. Gerald also asks that minute takers update the status of tickets discussed so we don't accidentally discuss it over and over. Meeting close 14:00 CEST -- Neal Gompa (ID: Pharaoh_Atem)

Heads up: Early Feature request deadline for SLE 15 SP4 / Leap 15.4 is on 26th June 2021

by Lubos Kocman

Hello openSUSE! I'd like to communicate an early feature deadline for SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP4, which is on 26th June 2021. This deadline is for having requests reported in jira.suse.com, not for the actual code submit requests. This is very important to openSUSE Leap 15.4 contributors as 1/3 of Leap 15.4 binaries will be re-used with SUSE Linux Enterprise and therefore submit requests are accepted there. This is important to keep in mind if you plan to update Leap exclusive package which depends on e.g. a library from SUSE Linux Enterprise. This will be the most common type of request according to my current experience from SP3. I was personally a bit surprised to have this deadline so early even prior the OBS setup, as last year had it shortly after the first Alpha. Just to clarify, this deadline is the same for everyone be it a largest partner, community contributor or an employee. openSUSE Leap and Package Hub exclusive packages will have similar deadlines as described in https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap. We're aiming for the Leap 15.4 GA in early June 2022, therefore deadlines will only slightly vary from the previous release. We already have to feature requests open for 15.4 (usage of appx-utils instead of fb-utils-appx and update of python-pycairo to 1.20). If you're interested and have some open questions, feel free to pop up on Monday's meeting at 3:00 CEST ( https://meet.opensuse.org/FeatureRequests). More details about jira access and meeting at https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Jump/Policy/CommunitySLEChangeRequests#Weekl… This call is mainly to identify very obvious updates or requests for features that we'd like to have in SLE 15 SP4 and therefore inherited to Leap 15.4. We'll have a harder time to justify requests that cause massive rebuilds, have large impacts, or seem to be risky (package renames etc) later in the development. Here I'd like to clarify that SUSE Linux Enterprise uses a layered structure and in many cases packages have to be updated in the oldest supported code-stream. I recommend checking the true origin of the package (see referenced wiki). Larger or backward incompatible changes to these packages would result in package forks in SP4. Therefore it's not so easy, but the openSUSE release team is here to help you. Requests during later development cycle have a bit more complicated path but there is processes for it as well (https://en.opensuse.org/ECO ). These are just bit more complication to pass and it generally takes longer, so if you want to have less work, please request it early. I'm acting as sort of a partner manager and I'm going to help you with reporting and deduplication on the SUSE side. I'm processing requests together with Neal Gompa and others who join our call on Mondays. Neal and I would like to work on opening the request even further to the community (Most likely by skipping the jira.suse.com from initial report), but I'm bit afraid we won't make it new few weeks. If you're unsure, please reach out to me or Neal over telegram/Email or even irc or simply join the Monday afternoon call. As a side note, SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP4 is considered to be the feature release (Tick-tock model). Therefore, we have relatively free hands with requests of updates as soon as they are backed by some reasoning (I need this for x.y.z). Thank you very much for your understanding.
