I'm sorry if my questions are too blunt to ask, but why on earth are you running a distro that does nothing but lack your requirements? AFAICS from your posts openSUSE is doing it all wrong. IMO your posts all are about changing the distro's settings to match your ideas on how a distro should work. What on earth is wrong with adapting to changes ?

You are, I you cannot engage in dialog on a factory list discussing possible packing improvements for the distro -- please, just resist the temptation to pickup the keyboard.

So whoever is working on this package has decided not to include it in tumbleweed, or it was included and has since been dropped due to missing dependencies. It seems the current package depends on "recode" which in Tumbleweed and Leap 15 either doesn't exist or doesn't build. That would need to be changed / fixed before the packages above would likely be useable and or includeable in the distro.

Tumbleweed does not have recode

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/recode does not exist

Base:System is a devel project, and not part of any openSUSE distribution

https://software.opensuse.org/package/recode

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. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

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.

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.

A. Because of discovering bug on s.o.o. that is much important for openSUSE as the entire project. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

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)

Fortunes dependency on recode was removed by Jan Engelhardt in both Tumbleweed & Leap 15

Speaking of which, xfe totally does not need recode. Not by upstream's measure - and that's what counts, because everything else is just shrinkwrapping it for openSUSE. The time it took to post to opensuse-factory, everyone could have just replaced the recode line from xfe.spec with iconv. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

This is a perfect task for a beginner, if you'd like i'll take the time to walk you through and you can learn a little more about obs. Once you understand it, it is surprisingly simple.
