## Adrian - OBS


## Bernhard - Slowroll

Rolling normally, preparing minor Qt+KDE updates today
new snapshot to be taken next week around 2025-12-03 and to be released 
around 2025-12-09

## Bernhard - reproducible builds

debugged cosmic (rust) issue - fix exists and needs to get into 
vendor.tar

## Adam - Git Workflow

Bernhard updated the obsbugzilla bot to listen to gitea updates and 
notify Bugzilla about it ; e.g. 
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1252967#c2
Be sure to mention boo# or bsc# in title or description of the PR. It 
can also be added in an edit later and will be picked up.

## Santiago - openQA
- Working on getting softreboot tests adapted, seems 
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1231986 is fixed by the 
systemd update, however seems there's still the bug happening under 
certain conditions
- Enabled sync of agama iso for s390, looking into enabling tests for 
zVM with agama
- Fixed some Leap 15.6 maintenance tests that were failing for various 
reasons

## Richard (Aeon+botmaster+tik)


## Open Floor
Question: What is the update channel for Leap 16? 
download.opensuse.org/update/leap does not contain an entry for 16.0
Answer: Updates released in regular repos: 
https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/16.0/repo... etc.

Question from Jim: Is that the binderfs 
(https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/binderfs.html) is already present 
on the latest updates for Tumbleweed (and Slowroll) also with Leap? 
These configuration like below sould be enabled for switching binderfs 
for enablement.

CONFIG_ANDROID=y
CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_IPC=y
CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDERFS=y
CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES="binder,hwbinder,vndbinder"

Answer: not enabled 
https://github.com/openSUSE/kernel-source/blob/master/con... 
please create a bug report on bugzilla to discuss this with kernel 
maintainers
