PipeWire, Flatpak, YaST packages update in Tumbleweed (UPDATED)
This week saw the continuous release of openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshots reach 42.
Packages to arrive this week include Mesa, bind, Flatpak and more.
These three above packages arrived in snapshot 20221122. Mesa 22.2.4 fixed some flickering issues in Spider-Man Remastered related to RADV for AMD, and it fixed some other flaws affecting gaming. An update of bind 9.18.9 fixed a recovery related to connectivity issues during startup, and it fixed an overflow in certain resolution scenarios. Flatpak 1.14.1 added new features like a httpbackend variable that allows dependent projects like GNOME Software to detect whether they are compatible with libflatpak. The cross-distro package also fixed an issue so that applications do not inherit outdated Wayland and X11 socket addresses. After a year, hxtools moved from version 20211204 to 20221119; the collection of tools and scripts added a new utility and implemented an aspect ratio correction for selective file-dump outputs. There were a few yast2 package updates like yast2-storage-ng 4.5.14, which proposes support for LUKS2 encryption with a configurable PBKDF to be used by the D-Installer. Several other packages were updated as well.

openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2022/47
Apologies for sending out the review a day late, somehow I was drowning myself in build fixes yesterday, lost track of time, and suddenly it was too late. But of course, you are all curious to hear what happened during this week and, most likely even more interested in what the future holds for us. We again published a full 7 snapshots (1118…1124), of which 1124 did not have a Changes file generated, and thus no announcement mail was sent out (which will need to be investigated).
