Dominique Leuenberger ☛ Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2025/45
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week has been really slow for Tumbleweed snapshots—at least as far as the published ones are concerned. Since my last review, only two snapshots were shipped, and 5 more were passed on to openQA for testing and discarded. This was not really a surprise to us; we somewhat expected this to happen. The major change (in the next snapshot to be published) is the switch to grub2-bls on UEFI-based systems. The technical change itself was ok for a while, but it took a while to get a good feel for the openQA results, without masking other errors behind the ‘bootloader does not look as expected by QA’ step. And to confirm: it was good for us to hold back some snapshots, as there were indeed some fun bugs hiding behind closed doors.
