There is no such project. The packages are some obsolete TW snapshot.
And building on Leap may or may not work - I think the new rpm spec file
uses features of the new rpm so it is not buildable with old rpm. I
suppose that at some point in the history of the rpm package it
contained the new sources and was buildable with old rpm but you need to
find that, rebuild with old rpm, and then you can install the current
one. Not exactly nice experience. And it's quite possible that such
sources were only present in some bootstrap project and locating them in
OBS is pretty much impossible. On 2021/02/19 14:14, Axel Braun wrote:

Yeah, your build target also has to be installable on your
local machine. That's a primary reason for building on my local
machine. The resulting rpm will use the libs on my machine
at build time, and can be installed and work after they are built. Using a foreign or virtual environment won't
let you build, necessarily,
for installation on your local machine.
One feature of open build service that people building derivative
distros use is that packages will use other packages in the same project
/ repo for builds. So if all the custom packages you are using on your
machine are in the same project then it will use them for builds. This
gives you other advantages as well in that if you update one of the
libraries it will automatically rebuild all the packages that depend on it. >> Using a foreign or virtual environment

It is clear that at this point the only real solution is upgrading rpm
to the latest version using one of our provided packages (possibly via
first installing an intermediate rpm version) then optionally using that
package to rebuild itself and going from there. But at this point i'm
really not sure why we are still discussing it on this list as what is
being done here is far from any form of supported openSUSE system.
