Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, This week we had to cancel a couple snapshots, as a regression in grub was detected, that caused issues on chain-loading bootloaders. But thanks to our genius maintainers, the issue could be found, fixed and integrated into Tumbleweed (and this despite being busy with hackweek! A great THANK YOU!). Despite those canceled snapshots, this review will still span 4 revisions: 0216, 0218, 0219 and 0224. And believe me, there have been quite some things coming your way. The most impacting were: * Linux kernel 4.9.10 & 4.9.11 * Python 3.6 * Mesa 17.0 * KDE Plasma 5.9.2 * Libreoffice 5.3.0.3 Python 3.6 did cause some trouble for users of applications beyond the rings (remember: only ring-packages are tested on integration of any updated package). You can find a list of packages still failing at http://goo.gl/3AX7sK – Help to get those sorted is appreciated from all sides. What else is coming our way in the near future: * RPM 4.13.0.1 – A regression was already spotted during 4.13.0 staging and upstream corrected it. A handful of packages still needs adjustments * GLibc 2.25 – Nobody seems to be providing fixes for any of the failures… Call for help! Please let’s move this forward * Linux Kernel 4.10 (snapshot 0225+) * python single-spec work: building code for multiple python targets out of a single spec file; first submissions started As a reminder, here once again the link to the Factory dashboard [0], where you can see which staging areas are in need of help. All build failures need to be addressed in one way or another for a staging project to be moving forward. With all this said, go forth and have a lot of fun!
