Opensuse tumbleweed, new update and the arrival of gcc 6

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is one of the distros that use the rolling rolling periodic update method, which we had previously discussed in another distro, Arch Linux . OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has released on this occasion a new "snapshot" (20160503) that comes with some software updates that we are going to comment on in the following lines and where they anticipate that they will soon include GCC 6 and Qt 5.6.

In this new update of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed they have been responsible for updating the following components of the Linux-based operating system:

• Virtualbox 5.0.18 Mesa 11.2.1 gnome-tweak-tool 3.20.1 gstreamer 1.8.1 libdrm 2.4.68 Xorg Server 1.18.3

The arrival of the GCC 6 compiler will be a great addition for OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

In the words of one of the managers of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Douglas DeMaio, In the next updates of the distro the mentioned GCC 6 and Qt 5.6 will be included, two of the important components that will surely be celebrated by the regular consumers of this Linux distro. GCC is the popular compiler integrated in the Linux project that is responsible for taking any programming language such as C, C ++, Objective C, among others, and executing a binary executable program, this compiler will bring great improvements with its new version to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

Those responsible for OpenSUSE Tumbleweed comment that the first to arrive will be GCC 6 but the inclusion of Qt 5.6 will be a while later, so the two additions will not arrive in a single update but in several.

All the details of the new update and what is to come can be seen on the official page of OpenSUSE.
