Weekly Roundup 2018 – Weeks 14 & 15

Many thanks for your patience! This is turning into a bi-weekly roundup lately, but we’ll try to get it back on track very soon.

Team leader elections are happening: Donald and Filip continue to lead Atelier, Papoteur leads Docteam, Yuri leads i18n and the process is underway for all teams. We’ll know the make-up of the Council in the coming days – thanks to Marja for the updates. After that, we’ll be finding out the new composition of the Board. All should be in place by early May.

The Great Plasma Update is almost there: it includes updates of the KF5, Plasma, KDE applications, LXQT and the underlying QT stacks. It’s currently waiting for the LXQT stack to be fixed. It’s a massive number of packages. We’re hoping it will be moved into updates within the week. Once that’s done, Mageia 6.1 will happen soon after.

Lots of update advisories came through in the last 2 weeks. If you’d like to check these between roundups, don’t forget you can go to Mageia Advisories. As usual, they have mostly been Mageia 6 security updates and only Mageia 6 bugfixes:

Security

• samba Mga5, 6
• libvncserver Mga5, 6
• php Mga5, 6

All the others are Mga6

• nx
• cfitsio
• nmap
• ntp
• aubio
• 389-ds-base
• acpica-tools
• puppet
• openssl

Bugfixes (Mga6 only):

• pngcheck
• cargo, rust
• openconnect, networkmanager-openconnect
• rpm

… and at least 866 package notifications came through the cauldron updates list in the last two weeks. Madb (Cauldron updates) has all this information between roundups.

Remember also the other resources: the Mageia AppDB, PkgSubmit to see the last 48 hours, and Bugzilla to see what’s currently happening.
