Nothing provides lzip
by Manfred Schwarb 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Hi, I stumbled over a strange error, e.g. for https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools:scm/rcs For the repos 15.4 and 15.5, the build error is "Nothing provides lzip", although Leap 15.4 and Leap 15.5 both have this package available. And the spec file rcs.spec does list "BuildRequires: lzip" as needed. Does anybody have a clue what is going on? Thanks, Manfred

Oracle Instant Client
by David Nichols 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Hi, I got notices for deletion requests against the oracle-instantclient packages in two OBS projects. This is a binary package from Oracle - there is no source, but it may be freely distributed: https://www.oracle.com/cz/database/technologies/faq-instant-client.html This package has been listed as blacklisted in OpenSUSE since 2010: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_application_blacklist#Packag… However, in the meantime, Oracle changed their redistribution policy to allow free redistribution of this package in binary format. I was not involved in the discussions, but back in 2010 my colleague got the oracle-instantclient binary packages accepted into OBS; he told me at the time that an exception was made (IIRC - in any cases the packages have been there for a long time despite being on the blacklist). My question to anyone who can help - can this package get accepted into the NonFree project and removed from the blacklist? If not, I believe that forbidding the oracle-instantclient package from OBS and OpenSUSE will adversely impact professionals that work with Oracle DBs - particularly due to the domino effect on dependent packages. There is no legal reason for this restriction - just a philosophical one from my understanding. Example project (now with a deletion request): https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:davidnichols/oracle-instantcli… Thanks in advance for any feedback from anyone who has insight into this situation. thx David -- *David Nichols*Qore Technologies, s.r.o.

help needed: devel:languages:R:autoCRAN quota exceeded
by Detlef Steuer 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Hi! 3 years ago I started d:l:R:autoCRAN and it turned out to be a successful experiment. Adrian Schröter gave a quota of 20000 packages back then and I guessed that would probably enough for 3 years. Well, the guess was not too bad, but after 2 years and 9 months this number of packages has been crossed. The growth of CRAN has slowed down in the last months, so I would assume an increase to say 25000 packages would give 4-5 years until I have to ask again. Could anybody increase the quota for that project, please, if possible? All the best Detlef

We install this package in our environment. The package is still available for Alma9 and Debian. Is there a reason that package was removed? Thank you Julian

CentOS_9 repository import seems to be broken
by Marcus Schäfer 01 Aug '23

01 Aug '23

Hi, building against CentOS_9 recently showed the following error <error>unresolvable: nothing provides kbd-legacy = 2.4.0-9.el9 needed by kbd, (got version 2.4.0-8.el9)</error> Asking on the CentOS side they said the requested package exists. Thus I assume an issue with the import or DoD on the obs side. Example package would be here: osc buildinfo Virtualization:Appliances:Staging python-kiwi CentOS_9 x86_64 Last successful build was on June 27th Thanks much Regards, Marcus -- Public Key available via: https://keybase.io/marcus_schaefer/key.asc keybase search marcus_schaefer ------------------------------------------------------- Marcus Schäfer Brunnenweg 18 Tel: +49 7562 905437 D-88260 Argenbühl Germany -------------------------------------------------------
