Well, let me rephrase the question, where could I find a stable fslint. Not an so-called unstable version offered for 12.2 e.g. by 5 different persons with colorful aliases.
What is there that makes you believe there is one? Past that, you have choices, build it yourself or find someone else who will build it for you.
Unstable in the context provided above is more "untested" by a large group of users more that UNstable as in: will crash your system.
I'd be _very_ cautious about "unstable", and private repos in the build service. As an example, you can find my own "bleeding_edge" version of the coreutils package there (which means it is ~latest upstream Git with some patches), but it has not yet been installed or tested. If you installed it (if that works at all, I don't know yet), then you could even end up with su not working, or maybe some very basic system scripts are using program options which are not supported anymore or behaving different by the newer version. My package just built successfully, but nothing more, period.
You can always remove it if it doesn't suit you.
In my above case, you'd probably not get the chance to remove it. Admitted, the "coreutils" package is far more "core" than others, but in the OP's case, I'd consider a file system utility not a package for playing, either. ;-) Have a nice day, Berny -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
