This week’s openSUSE Tumbleweed had a decent amount of software packages in each snapshot.

The rolling release updated applications for both GNOME and KDE, with several KDE Qt5 Patch Collection packages and command-line utility grep receiving updates.

Just a few packages updated in the latest snapshot, 20230426. The changes in firewalld 1.3.2 were minimal but for testing functions, which two were related to iptables. The 20230425 version was the second update of the week for the selinux-policy package. This package added a policy for wtmpdb, which will provide a more accurate calculation of boot time. Two other packages to update in the snapshot were a 2.4.0 version of 389-ds and 2.0.16.21 version of numactl.
