Dear maintainers,
I recently installed openSUSE Leap 42.3 on a laptop and customized the software development infrastructure on both laptop and on a HPC server. I observed some outdated packages and other minor inconsistencies. The current versions are mentioned in braces.
In general, as far as I would recommend it, a recent software stack should be available without relying on some home: repo.
1. make (4.2.1) 4.0-7.15 on openSUSE-Leap-42.3-Oss (version 5 years old) There is one recent version (4.2.1) available at home:Ledest
The same for bison (2.7-11.15 vs. 3.0.4-0.45)
2. doxygen (1.8.13) doxygen and doxywizad (1.8.11) are distributed. In devel:tools, doxygen is current (1.8.13), but the accompanying doxywizard is only (1.8.11). Thus, this particular tool chain is broken.
3. midnight commander (4.8.19) Distribution (4.1.15), but only in home:Ximi1970 the current version (4.19)
Don't forget you can add the devel repos for those packages and get the latest from there. I think that is great solution for me. I use a solid (or even old) base of software in Leap 42.3. Then I personally layer on the security:forensics repo and get recent versions of those packages from there.
