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.
The lzip package comes from openSUSE Backports, not from SLES. The project only uses the SLES subset of Leap.
That is unfortunate. RCS (https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/rcs/) has started to provide tarballs exclusively with lzip-compression. And I guess other GNU projects do as well. So no OBS-building for lzip-compressed software out of the box... Is there a mechanism to selectively import such required packages into a specific package? I know the owner of devel:tools:scm could add additional repositories into the meta configuration. But is such a thing also possible for individual packages? Thanks, Manfred
