Doug, To cut through everything else, first let me reiterate: Artha has been left **unmaintained by upstream for almost 8 years** now. As a result, a) it has at least one open security hole (already previously mentioned) and b) no longer even builds for Tumbleweed. Therefore, it is **unavailable for TW** from any openSUSE repository (Education or otherwise) unless someone fixes these issues. Now, some other points...

Even tho it was dropped after 15.1, the same most recent vsn 1.03 was repackaged for the Education repo for both 15.2 and TW.
If you must have a package that is no longer maintained - the last post on artha's home site is 8 years ago - then you'll need to build it from source. That's not difficult to do at all: 1. install any dependencies (listed on the page) There are about a dozen, I think. The rest I could do. 2. download tarball 3. extract 4. configure 5. make 6. make install
This will not work against system libraries on TW as artha, being **old and unmaintained**, does not compile with more recent libraries any more.
I'm snowed. I carefully copied the instruction and tried to run it, and this is the result:

You are using Tumbleweed, a different distribution from Leap. Do not mix Tumbleweed and Leap 15.X repositories. I would recommend you to select "openSUSE Tumbleweed" in the distribution selection box on < https://software.opensuse.org/> (set to "All Distributions" by default) before searching. See, for example: https://paste.opensuse.org/68766330.
I went to firefox and got this mish-mosh: artha from openSUSE:Leap:15.1 project Select Your Operating System
Grab binary packages directly
firefox wants me to sign in! I don't think I ever had a username and password for Firefox, but if I did it was a long time ago.
My guess is, this is likely asking for a password for an openSUSE Build Service account, if you have one --- not a Firefox password. You will not need any password unless you try to get unpublished packages from the build service.
I tried to find another source in FF for artha, but it comes with a long list of libs.
Again, there aren't any sources for artha for openSUSE TW (from the build service and repositories at least). Consider this software expired. Cheers, P.S.: Thanks in advance for not CC-ing me when you reply; simply reply to the list, I read the messages there in any case. -- Atri Bhattacharya Sun 5 Jul 12:56:43 CEST 2020 Sent from openSUSE Tumbleweed on my laptop. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
