Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
Time is flying fast it seems - and already another week is behind us,
with some interesting developments in Tumbleweed.
During the last week, your Tumbleweed systems received, amongst many
others, the following updates:
* KDE Plasma 5.3.1; bugfix release
* The various issues around KRB5 updates have been resolved (sorry for
those)
* The kernel received a small amount of backport fixes
* libqt4 was updated to 4.8.7 (unfortunately causing some issues, as a
dependency was missed in the progress... surprisingly, our repo-checker
script missed this one, analysis is going on)
* The call for help to keep on maintaining the KDE3 packages seems to
have worked: some packages have been submitted and some even received
additional attention beyond fixing build, backporting security fixes.
Some failures are still there, but David promised to have a look at
those in the coming period.
What's coming next?
* KDE Applications are being updated to 15.04.2
* Firefox 38.0.5: sounds like a minor update, but Reader View and
'Pocket' have been greatly integrated (and caused us quite some work on
openQA :))
* GCC 5: still work in progress - We got a few fixes together in the
last week again.
How can you help:
* Keep on doing what you have been doing: spread the word about
openSUSE Tumbleweed, run it, report issues, help fix them, test them,
and the spread the word again.
* Engage in the various discussions happening on the mailing list
* There is always a good amount of bug reports reported against
openSUSE Tumbleweed, that are 'outdated' (a small issue of the rolling
nature). Sometimes it's just enough to retest if a bug might have
disappeared - and if so, it can be closed.
With this all said, I wish you all a happy weekend
