Plasma 6 may arrive next week in openSUSE ( lists.opensuse.org )
From Dominique Leuenberger at Tumbleweed - Review of the week 2024/10
- KDE Frameworks and Plasma 6: Lots of progress since last week. By
now we reached the QA phase. Optimistic souls bet on next week (no
promises though!)- KDE Gear 24.02.0 – Requires KDE Frameworks 6 and will land at the
same time
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
We have officially reached ‘spring’ (according to some
calendars/regions). We cleaned up the staging projects: we accepted all
the good things you submitted that passed staging. Neat, eh? That’s
what we do all the time anyway, so it’s not that special. The progress
on RPM 4.20 fixes in the spec files has been slowing down a bit, but
we’re nearing the end. This morning, there were 235 spec files left in
Factory that needed touching – and many submit requests are still
pending.
In sum, we have released again 6 snapshots this week (0301…0306),
containing these changes:
- ImageMagick 7.1.1.29
- Python 3.x fixes for CVE-2023-6597 (TmpDir cleaning)
- Linux kernel 6.7.7
- kernel-firmware 20240229
- openblas 0.3.26
- Tcl 8.6.14
- RPM: patches to better support reproducible builds. Factory will
test-enable this feature on Monday (March 11) - Shadow 4.14.6
- openjpeg 2.5.2
- GStreamer 1.24.0: We have heard of some users having issues with
their local caches.If you experience issues, try “rm
~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin” - postfix 3.8.6
- wireplumber 0.4.90
Staging projects are mainly busy with the same things that take some
more time to prepare. Luckily, this does not stop progress at all and
we have sufficient capacity to test things in parallel. The current
list here is:
- libvirt 10.1.0
- Mozilla Firefox 123.0.1
- Poppler 24.03.0
- KDE Frameworks and Plasma 6: Lots of progress since last week. By
now we reached the QA phase. Optimistic souls bet on next week (no
promises though!) - KDE Gear 24.02.0 – Requires KDE Frameworks 6 and will land at the
same time - Systemd 255.3: issues with OBS/build and transactional-update were
identified. Once addressed, this should move forward soon too. - python 3.9 deprecation: we decided to postpone this a little bit
due to the still large fallout from Python 3.12 addition. Removing a
Python flavor will require us to rebuild all the Python packages for
the new builds to drop the python39 flavor. Too many packages fail to
build at this moment. - dbus-broker: no progress this week
- libxml 2.12.x: slow/no progress
- GCC 14: phase 2: use gcc14 as the default compiler
Cheers,
Dominique
