Hi
What makes you think it would have made it through the acceptance process yet…?

Yes, a large update here - 1.4G (both KDE and Gnome are installed).

They probably recompiled a lot because of the compiler update. But gcc is not installed on the system that I upgraded, so I didn’t look closely at that.

If quick KDE updates are that important, maybe you should consider running Krypton. I downloaded the live iso this evening, and booted. It is at Plasma 5.16.80, which is likely a beta for 5.17. I didn’t install. I’m happy to wait a few more days for 5.16.3 to arrive.

glibc causes reinstall of everything which uses it. Installed some 6,000 packages this night.

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20190713
KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.59.0
Qt Version: 5.13.0
Kernel Version: 5.1.16-1-default
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz

The rebuild on the 20190713 snapshot was due to the introduction of “Link Time Optimization”

See this post on the factory mailing list: [opensuse-factory] LTO is enabled in Tumbleweed - openSUSE Factory - openSUSE Mailing Lists

and this: openSUSE:LTO - openSUSE Wiki for an explanation of LTO.

Huge update 3092 rpm and more than 9 Gbits, perfectly successfulrotfl!

I thought that one week was enough to pull it out. There are 30 bug fixes for dot 3 and dot 4 schedule is set for the end of July. I guess we have to wait and they’ll be another big patch sooner or later. Anyway, the machine is back to a stable state on KDE and this update is just another bonus.

A pretty good explanation of this update, only good news for users.

Hi
Possibly, but you can keep an eye on things with https://openqa.opensuse.org/

Then there is this which may be of interest openSUSE:Factory submissions - openSUSE Wiki which all packages follow when updated in the respective development repository, built and the submitted…

Thanks Malcolm! Already tried some TW testing channels, but I have not found my way yet, this is another one. The highest Kernel remains our main target with secure boot.

I was getting around 500 kB/s download speed. That’s about the same speed as I was getting yesterday for 20190713. It is usually slow just after release. If I wait a few hours, I will normally get a better speed.

I did not run into any obvious problems with this update.

Hi
Can also be slow if using https, but generally while syncing things are slow.

I download at 1 - 2 Mbit to make a 9 Gbit update, I spent very little, there’s also a novelty for Thumbleweed for track packaging

8:30, PM is the worst time for speed on a cable network. Did not have that problem with the previous big patch, but speed drop to 40Mbps instead of 70. No problems here too, the desktop is stable.
