Re: How to package telegram-desktop with dependency of openh264?
I can try with adding openSUSE-repos. Can I have a code pointer of how to enable it in obs build? Best, Xu -- Xu Zhao i@xuzhao.net On Thu, Aug 1, 2024, at 11:30 AM, Lubos Kocman wrote:

the multimedia:libs:openh264 repo is as closed as it can be! I honestly did not find a way to get access to it. Adding a tarball for openh264 is definitly not an acceptable choice either, so I'm assuming there is *no* way for telegram-desktop in openSUSE anymore. Let's get rid of it!

Bad idea.....I guess not only I am using it heavily Cheers Axel
Hello Menfred, this is done on purpose so we do not redistribute it via internal repo etc, I believe that you can still build against that library in openSUSE:Factory I see that openSUSE:Factory:openh264/openh264 links to openSUSE:Factory / openh264 Lubos On Thu, Aug 1, 2024 at 9:08 PM Manfred Hollstein <mhollstein@t-online.de> wrote:

Not really, no - openSUSE:Factory openh264 is merely a package container but does not produce any artifacts in openSUSE:Factory; it's just there so maintainers do not have to remember that this lives somewhere else. It's not building in Factory and there are no binaries published. A package must not be in factory if it is not installable without further repositories enabled (recommends are fine - but then the app needs to work without that repo, be it with limited features) Cheers, Dominique

I hope the package will not get removed ;-) I branched it into my own project, built it and disabled publishing the built packages, but use them for building.
