We're using older haskell packages that were already dropped from Factory. Results of the last build looked well. openSUSE Leap 15.6 Beta marketing availability + related Bug day will be streamed live on Thursday 21:00 CET as part of our regular Thursday meeting. There will be a news-o-o article released shortly before that 19:00 UTC. ^ Sharing is caring! Sharing plan with factory / project - https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/… How to connect - https://calendar.opensuse.org/teams/marketing/events/thursday_weekly_meeting Bug day page WIP - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bug_Day openSUSE Booth at Installlfest 2024 is happening next weekend https://installfest.cz/if24/ https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Organising_a_booth openSUSE Leap future strategy discussion with Rick Spencer next week in Prague. ## openSUSE Tumbleweed (ana) openSUSE:Factory build fail stats: 139 failed 33 unresolvable (last week 170 failed, 26 unresolvable) https://tinyurl.com/ysy4nnnz => Around ~80 are python packages that are still failing to build with Python 3.12 Most relevant updates: * Linux Kernel Longterm 6.6.19 * Linux Kernel 6.7.7 * kernel-firmware 20240229 * ca-certificates-mozilla 2.66 * transactional-update 4.6.0 ( support for systemd soft-reboot) * shadow 4.14.6 * exiv2 0.28.2 * expat 2.6.1 * ImageMagick 7.1.1.29 * All Python 3.x version with fix for CVE-2023-6597 Updates waiting / work still in progress: * GCC 14: second phase ongoing, use gcc14 as the default compiler (Staging:Gcc7) * RPM 4.19.1.1 + 4.20 * RPM 4.19.1.1 (user/group dependencies), Packages not included in rings getting updates, still some more to go, see https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/… * Preparations for RPM 4.20, %patchN won't be supported anymore, see https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/… * Python 3.12+removal of 3.9 modules: Not all modules fixed to build with Python 3.12, removal of python 3.9 modules blocked by build failures. Considering pushing it soon. Python3.9 interpreter would stay for some time more. * KDE Frameworks and Plasma 6 + KDE Gear 24.02.0 released last week, advancing well thanks to reactivity of KDE+Qt team * libreoffice 24.2.1.2, need openQA test update https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/156628 * go1.22 as default go version, blocked on i586 with packages which export CGO_ENABLED=0 and go build -buildmode pie https://github.com/golang/go/issues/64875 * systemd 255.3 ( SR#1152118), rpmlist withelist done, blocked now because it fails to build * update openSUSE-build-key (new suse container key!)

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: - CVE for python-onnx but update impossible because of missing deps and some deps requiring newer python. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1220313 - Delete Request sent. - (Empty) Arm section added in https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Known_bugs_15.6 * WSL: x86_64 is fetched from Microsoft Store GUI for Tumbleweed image instead of arm64. But `wsl --install openSUSE-Tumbleweed --web-download` works just fine! - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1219372. Scott Bradnick made the instructions for Windows for Arm into image description for Tumbleweed. I believe we've also updated WSL wiki with the instrucitons. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:WSL ## Sarah - s390x * Second mainframe is up and running -> Many builds are running at the moment (also gcc) and the manframe is not really stable -> waiting for a new Tumbleweed release * gcc bug (2021) reactivated related to memory optimization on the mainframe: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101523 * related openSUSE Bug (not really informative): https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1188441 GPG keys for s390x, PPCle and RISC-V expired in openSUSE-build-key: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1220993 ## Doug * bugzilla.opensuse.org * Submitted Bug 1220916 * Asked to delete - If you experience any difficulties or find any issues, please, report to SUSE Bugzilla Team (email) * Contribution Workshops * More sign ups at https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/openSUSE-Contribution-Workshop * Episode 3 - Bumping "Packaging Guidelines" to a later date and will have a learning "how to report bugs" video * Episode 4 - Language-specific packaging - Rust and Go provided link.

To increase attendance of the event. * GSoC * Sent report to Project Manager * Started seperate workspace on slack for mentees and mentors - https://join.slack.com/t/opensuse-group/shared_invite/zt-2dwsqm6nb-iNJifnVb… * Community Summit * 8 Registrations, 5 Submissions, 2 Hours (pre-announcement) * openSUSE Conference * 48 Registrations, 27 Submissions, 16 Hours (5 Open 4 Business Submissions) ** I won't be available next weeks 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) ## Dirk Not available ## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling Not available ## Maintenance team (Marcus or Maurizio (m4u)) Struggling with chromium update. Maintainers are not currently able to update it to the current version. No transition method for expired keys. Temporarily disabling the key in libcontainer policy (Marcus please correct me). The goal is to have the least disruptive method for it. Dominique: the new key seems to raise some issues - transition needs to be figured out. Marcus: I did check podman documentation and am looking if we can have temporarily two keys in parallel. Marcus: will we resign all the images on the registry or only new ones? Dominique: for rpm we usually accept both old and new key for about a half a year. lkocman: Leap Micro 6.X update channel setup will have to be done soon (within a few weeks). ## Adrian - OBS Not available lkocman: we need to cleanup accepted / rejected requests in SUSE:SLE-15-SP6:GA in OBS. lkocman doesn't have permissions to do so in OBS. Workaround would be to re-add/reject suse-sle-reviewers review. Lubos will write to autobuild + add Marco to the first line. ## Simon (Leap Replacement/Linarite) Not available ## Bernhard Slowroll * kernel-longterm 6.6.19 from Factory * kernel-default now follows Factory * OBS now has a Slowroll distribution target, so it is easy to add in devel projects * https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE_Slowroll/ gets some activity ## Open Floor When will there be a leap:15.6 container image? We did mention that we'd like to advertise BCI images instead of Leap 15.6 base image. So yes there should ideally be 15SP6 BCI image together with PUBLIC Beta. Marcus: there is one last blocker on the BCI image side for 15 SP6

PublicCloud meeting 30.05.2024

by Lubos Kocman

How to join the meeting? https://calendar.opensuse.org/teams/release/events/public-cloud-team All meeting minutes can be found here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/PublicCloud-meeting Attendees: lkocman, rjschwei, neil hanlon, dominik wombacher (wombelix)., ngompa Topics Artwork: https://github.com/openSUSE/artwork/pull/86 Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#cloud:opensuse.org Where do build openSUSE Public Cloud images: https://build.opensuse.org/project/subprojects/Cloud:Images We'll request Cloud:Images:Factory where we could build any flavors. Leap 15.X Currently handled by SUSE Public Cloud team Leap 16.X If we show that we can handle Tumbleweed, Slowroll, MicroOS (whatever makes sense to build/publish). Then we can have discussion about ownership of Leap 16 with SUSE Public Cloud team. Tumbleweed is not seen as the prefered platform for Clouds. Contributors are more interested in Leap ownership. People mention Fedora as a success story for contribution. Leap Micro in clouds https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Cloud:Images:LeapMicro_6.0 was created 2 days ago, it's basically debranded SL Micro stuff. Robert confirmed that SUSE Public Cloud team is on it. It will be published to usual Cloud Providers (GCP, AWS, Azure). AWS profile for openSUSE that's managed by the SUSE Cloud Team https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/seller-profile?id=730aa725-c0c9-4d1d-863… Tumbleweed Worth investigation. AWS already has some images (https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/seller-profile?id=316c4831-85c2-4ec4-b2b…) But it seems they might not be as up2date as we'd like to. Innovators for openSUSE: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:cabelo:innovators Alessandro de Oliveira Faria (A.K.A.CABELO) - cabelo(a)opensuse.org ^ we could create similar shared account for AWS, Azure, GCP (lkocman: suggests to focus on Azure Community Gallery) It would be nice to avoid duplication and join efforts. Instead of having two versions of e.g. Leap or Tumbleweed images. Image does not seem to be built in the same space as other cloud images. https://build.opensuse.org/project/subprojects/Cloud:Images Bernhard seem to have rights to create subprojects in Cloud space. Perhaps we could ask him to create one for Tumbleweed. Suggested focus should be at the community gallery in Azure. Microsoft would publish some related article. https://fedoramagazine.org/launch-fedora-40-in-microsoft-azure/ We could also publish something like fedora. Release cadence for TW uploads WSL Engineering team already publishes Tumblweed images https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9mssk2zxxn11?hl=en-us&gl=US QA https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/106452 Website promotion It would be nice to have links to launch image in cloud from e.g. get.opensuse.org similar to https://fedoraproject.org/cloud/download#cloud_launch https://github.com/openSUSE/get-o-o openSUSE images published by the Public CLoud team are in pint (pint.suse.com) and findable via pint command Kiwi descriptions The way Fedora handles it is component based and very flat and easy to manage: https://pagure.io/fedora-kiwi-descriptions/blob/rawhide/f/config.xml This could be done in a similar way and then used to compile it into the xml that OBS needs and build their. Place to add openSUSE descriptions https://code.opensuse.org/project/kiwi-descriptions https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Cloud:Images: Agreed next steps: * Lubos will request Cloud:Images:Factory (already messaged Bernhard) * Dominik will reach out to Alessandro regarding co-op on TW image * Neal && Dominik &&|| Alessandro will deliver TW image that will be eventually be build in Cloud:Images:Factory * Neil will contact admin(a)opensuse.org for a shared "alias" for members of https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:PublicCloud_team and will create the Azure Community gallery (openSUSE-somesuperlonghash) under that account.

I just thing that this model basically means that openSUSE ( or whatever new name is used ) is not community distribution based on SUSE source codes ( for leap case ) or with SUSE as major contributor ( for TW ), but it is more SUSE driven free distribution with community support. So maybe we should somehow distinguish it that TW and Leap is SUSE driven and stuff like Aeon is not officially SUSE driven. In this light I have to say that I really support Jeff idea to do beside openSUSE rename also governance change that allows more community engagement. Josef

openSUSE Release Engineering meeting 11.09.2024

by Lubos Kocman

How to join the meeting? https://calendar.opensuse.org/teams/release/events/opensuse-release-enginee… All meeting minutes can be found here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-meeting ## Attendees: bittin, ana, rbrown, lkocman, DimStar, bmwiedemann, max, DocB, adrian, dirk, ddemaio, wengel NOTICE! the meeting url is https://meet.opensuse.org/meeting ## Leap Leap 16.0 Agama now has nice distro icons on product selection! Thanks to dgdavid for finishing the PR. https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/4468203#step/agama/2 Split agama.pm into agama.pm && agama_reboot.pm (further splititng on the way) * Almost green openQA yesterday on a previous build. * Added grub_test to openQA, to help us handle cases where USB scenarios again boot agama after installation * Added zdup from 15.6 to openQA,will require quite some work. Thanks to Jozef Pupava for help with zdup and Richard Fan for PR review We shall officially reach out to KDE regarding timing for Plasma 6 LTS and Leap 16.X https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Plasma_6 Antonio told me that he'll raise it on KDE Advisory Board meeting (10th of October) Rough schedule for 16 (depends on what changes on SLES side) https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap#DRAFT_Schedule_for_openSUSE_Leap_1… Alpha (Fall 2024) Beta April/May 2025 RC July/Aug 2025 GA mid-Oct 2025 Ideally we should get code-drop around Beta which for 16.X should be April/May 16.0 Public Beta code drop is currently scheduled for April 21st 2025. If we get it past Beta it raises integration challenges with SLES, if we get it post RC (July/Aug) then we might not be able to get required changes into corresponding SLES 16.X release at all. If we get it too late/too early for next release (e.g. Oct) then it might feel already obsolete with GA which is 12 months after. Leap Micro 6.0 Merged && released latest update of product-composer to ensure we have all fixes for the maintenance pipeline. Discussed with Gustavo Boiko, where he mentioned that there is already queued update for ALP (Micro 6.0 base). (was action item from previous Releng call) Leap Micro 6.1 SL Micro 6.1 Getting close to RC so we're quite late to join the party. * need to ensure that we have all bits and pieces synced to OBS * Worst pain will be to set openQA etc. Which takes substantial amount of time. Welcome app refresh I shared my recent experments with python gtk4/libadwaita carousel (dialog in the distribution colors) with DimStar and lcp. recommendation from lcp was to go with configuring existing tool such as gnome-tour and plasma6-welcome.

Richard: it will, tool just triggers relabeling. Being slow might make sense for some edge cases, but should not be the default, especially for Aeon/desktop. with typical-data with the current settings a 15 minute boot time is a real possibility and should be avoided as much as possible ## Max Leap 15.6 - build stats in Backports: 11 failed(was 13), 0 unresolvable(was 1) * Published Build686.1, Build690.1 and Build691.1 * Build 690.1 had few known uninstalalble package problem which got fixed in Build691.1 * No significant change added to Backports:SLE-15-SP6 nor in openSUSE:Leap:15.6 project, bugfixes change only Upcoming openSUSE-welcome change (adds donation button to geekos.org) ## Guillaume - Arm * Tumbleweed: - Rolling - kernel-source-longterm:kernel-longterm and kernel-source-longterm:kernel-syms-longterm are only built for x86_64, which breaks some packages for arm targets (dpdk, v4l2loopback and more). rfrohl: kernel-longterm has no arm config ATM, build will not work I think - openQA: added more missing tests for aarch64 to track x86_64. - 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 Just FYI: armv7hl (port) repo definitions issues in openSUSE-repos (debug, source.

Dirk: agreed on not investing time into correction of source/debug repo publishing for Leap 15.6 armv7hl ## Sarah - s390x * Tumbleweed: - rolling - ansible can be installed on s390x again - most memory related issues resolved - 3 years old memory bug was resolved by Richard instead of IBM -> IBM wanted to improve their own solution in gcc (new memory improvement solution) - openblas dependencies enabled in AI/HPC related Python packages -> discussions with SUSE because missing feature requests by IBM for SLE * openSUSE on s390x is supported by the company beta systems at their customers :) * new future feature for LLVM in development: cross compilation on openSUSE Tumbleweed with C/C++ for the transfer to z/OS will be possible (LLVM and clang will be integrated in the IBM compiler) * bi-weekly Z architecture related trainings instead of openSUSE zSystems meetings (invitations distributed via opensuse-zsystems and opensuse-factory): Yesterday with 9 attendees 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(a)suse.com. * ToDo: orga of the openSUSE/SUSE zSystems BBQ party (before Ihno wants to retire) -> Ihno will join openSUSE zSystems (swith from SUSE to openSUSE) lkocman: I'd be happy to join if its around osc2024 ## 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 * GSoC * 11 Mentees selected * Coding begins May 28 * Mid-term evaluation July 8 - 12 * Two mentors expressed interest in attending GSoC Summit * Weblate migration & update complete * dorscluc booth and talk * freewear donations sent to Geeko Foundation * Community Summit * 30 Registrations * Approved talks (waiting on confirmed talks) * Discussion with venue about AV support * Figuring out finance portion. arm providing support * openSUSE Conference * 142 Registrations * Couple of talks were dropped * T-shirts & bags ordered * Schedule posted https://events.opensuse.org/conferences/oSC24/schedule 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) ## Dirk 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) 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/openSU… Chromium regression, update revoked ## Adrian - OBS not available ## Bernhard - Slowroll progressing nicely - might declare Slowroll as Beta/RC/ready on openSUSE conference version bump done (20240405 => 20240429) ; next planned around 2024-06-09, 2024-07-09, 2024-08-09 = plan for monthly cadence got kmps for kernel-longterm (except 3) DVD done ; NET iso WIP https://trello.com/c/AqFIWnYM/1-install-cddvd openQA-test-fix WIP lkocman: Could we add the opensuse-repos.pm to your test suite? ## Bernhard - reproducible builds no news ## Open Floor Sarah - we will receive a z16 system shared with other Linux distros in the community cloud. lkocman: worth writing a news-o-o post. lkocman SLFO (SUSE Linux Framework One was ALP) - Submissions are welcome (IBS only).

This might not meet every need of every existing Leap user but it would certainly be my goal to meet the needs of as many as we reasonably can so there is atleast some choice for people who don't wish to move to full tumbleweed. Of course from these numbers we might not get the general 6 months we have for migration between current point releases but unless Granite releases in December of 2025 hopefully we can get more then a month. If toward the end of 2025 we look like we have a viable replacement but might ideally need a little more time for migration then i'd certainly consider getting the board to approach SUSE about maybe the possibility of moving from 18 months of support to maybe 21 for 15.6. But either way at this stage i'm certainly not seeing a period where there'd be a year or two of completely unsupported systems. Given how similar the planned approach is to Leap and the fact we were able to put together a prototype in a week based off just the Marble codebase the design is mostly there and really all we are waiting for is some up to date ALP sources to hit OBS it doesn't really need to be all of Granite either if we just start working with a smaller subset of packages until the core of ALP starts to land and we build more on top of it. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
