Another recode issue victim. Fortune was another. I thought there was a new maintainer for recode since some months back.
Now, tumbleweed does have recode. Why not Leap 15?
Tumbleweed does not have recode
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/recode does not exist
<https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Base:System/recode>
Base:System is a devel project, and not part of any openSUSE distribution
does and shows successful build.
I could make a package that provided the equivalent to /dev/null, and call it recode and it would show up on software.opensuse.org - it is not a reliable source for what is in the distribution. We build the distribution on build.opensuse.org, use build.opensuse.org to check what is in our distributions.
has a download link, except for 15.
And that download link only offers a 32-bit package (which is a secondary architecture for Tumbleweed), and if you click on that link you get
http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/i586/recode-3.6-655.2.i586....
Which does not exist.
Congratulations, you found a bug in software.opensuse.org (advertising long deleted packages) - but the fact remains the same, recode is not in Tumbleweed.
Please you be polite. I did my homework.
Then if I was your teacher I'm fear the highest grade I could give you in this case is a D. Must do better.
Sorry, I have not been trained in Build System, I can not properly read it. I used what users use, the search. The search page has been changed recently in a way that I find more confusing than the old one. Previously there was a click on the search page that found the correct Build page. Now on "recode" it goes to another place that is not the recode build page, so I had to use the search button on the build page. Sorry for not knowing how to use Build. At least you can see that I did my best, that I did try and dedicated effort to try find the information before posting. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
