Kdump, firewalld update in Tumbleweed (UPDATED)
This week’s openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshots are rolling out at a steady pace.
The snapshots were not large, but consistent.
Snapshot 20230628 provided a few small changes that focused on removing some obsolete mechanisms and cleaned up some aspects to help with the future direction of Python.
Snapshot 20230627 was one of the bigger snapshots this week and it provided updates for gegl, kdump pipwire, strace and much more. The graphics package gegl brought version 0.4.46. The package provides some bug fixes and performance improvements and it re-enabled a deprecation warning. The kernel-crash dumping package kdump updated to version 1.9.2; this had enhancements like a rewrite of kdump-save and updates for other parts to ensure mounts are now entirely handled by dracut. An update of audio-compression package flac 1.4.3 improved the encoder speed for all presets, and it made significant improvements for the fastest presets as well as 24-bit and 32-bit inputs. Multimedia framework pipwire 0.3.72 fixed a critical bug that refused to update JACK clients, and there were some audio enhancements for Advanced Linux Sound Architecture. Strace 6.4 and perl-Bootloader 1.4 were among several other packages updated in the snapshot.
