openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the weeks 2021/40 & 41

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Due to my slacking off last Friday, I have to write the review over two weeks again. But that might turn out even better this time, as otherwise, the review might be a bit short (we struggled a bit this week with ‘openQA being slower in testing than OBS with building’). During the last two weeks, we have released a total of 6 snapshots (0929, 1001, 1005, 1008, 1011, and 1012).

The main changes included in those snapshots were:

  • GNOME 41.0
  • Mozilla Firefox 92.0.1 & 93.0
  • Mesa 21.2.3
  • Pipewire 0.3.38
  • Apache 2.4.51
  • Linux kernel 5.14.9
  • Samba 4.15.0 (See special info message)
  • Squid 5.2
  • meson 0.59.2
  • LibreOffice 7.2.2.1
  • openSSH 8.8p1
  • PostgreSQL 14.0
  • Rust 1.55
  • LLVM 13

In the staging projects we are currently preparing these updates:

  • KDE Plasma 5.23
  • KDE Frameworks 5.87.0
  • RPM 4.17
  • Coreutils 9.0: causes issues with 32bit archs (intel, arm, ppc)
  • gpg 2.3.2
  • openssl 3.0
  • bison 3.8.2
