[$] Four years of Zephyr The Zephyr project is an effort to provide an open-source realtime operating system (RTOS) that is designed to bridge the gap between full-featured operating systems like Linux and bare-metal development environments. It's been over four years since Zephyr was publicly announced and discussed here (apparently to a bit of puzzlement). In this article, guest authors Martí Bolívar and Carles Cufí give an update on the project and its community as of its v2.3.0
release in June 2020; they also make some guesses about its near future. | | 7:08p |
OpenSUSE Leap 15.2 set for release OpenSUSE Leap 15.2 is
complete and ready for a planned release on July 2. Leap is the version based on SUSE Linux Enterprise, but with many updated packages; see the 15.2 features
page for an overview of what's coming. " Leap 15.2 is filled with
several containerization technologies like Singularity, which bring
containers and reproducibility to scientific computing and the
high-performance computing (HPC) world. Singularity first appeared in the
Leap distribution in Leap 42.3 and provides functionality to build smallest
minimal containers and runs the containers as single application
environments. Another official package in Leap 15.2 is
libcontainers-common, which allows the configuration of files and manpages
shared by tools that are based on the github.com/containers libraries, such
as Buildah, CRI-O, Podman and Skopeo. Docker containers and tooling make
building and shipping applications easy and fast." | | 7:45p |
[$] Stirring things up for Fedora 33 The next release of the Fedora distribution — Fedora 33 — is currently scheduledfor the end of October. Fedora's nature as a fast-moving distribution ensures that each release will contain a number of attention-getting changes, but Fedora 33 is starting to look like it may be a bit more volatile than its immediate predecessors. Several relatively controversial changes are currently under discussion on the project's mailing lists; read on for a summary. | | 9:45p |
