Cannot Install on SUSE Tumbleweed

[richar...@gmail.com]

Greetings All:

I am attempting to install WEEWX on a recently built SUSE Tumbleweed installation.
However, I have not had any success.

 Tried this first:
    curl -s https://weewx.com/suse/weewx.repo | \
      sudo tee /etc/zypp/repos.d/weewx.repo
    zypper install weewx
   
   URL was not found: http://weewx.com/suse/weewx/suse202441126
 
 Then tried installing from downloaded RPM:
  rpm -ihv weewx-5.1.0-2.suse15.noarch.rpm
   error: Failed dependencies:
           python3-usb is needed by weewx-5.1.0-2.suse15.noarch
           
   Attempted installation of PYTHON3-USB:
     zypper install python3-usb
    
      Problem: 1: nothing provides 'python(abi) = 3.6' needed by the to be installed python3-usb-1.0.2-37.12.noarch
       Solution 1: do not install python3-usb-1.0.2-37.12.noarch
       Solution 2: break python3-usb-1.0.2-37.12.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies
       
 Last ditch attempt using PIP:      
    python3 -m pip install weewx
      DEPRECATION: Loading egg at /usr/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/TBB-2021.13.0-py3.11-linux-x86_64.egg is deprecated. pip 25.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to use pip for package installation. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12330
      error: externally-managed-environment
     
     
Any ideas on how to install this?

 Prior to installing Tumbleweed, WEEWX had been running on a SUSE v15.6 system.

Thanx

Matthew is the SuSE expert, so I can't help you there. However, I am up on pip. If that's the direction you want to go, be sure to set up a virtual environment first. If you simply do "python3 -m pip install weewx" it will fail because there is a danger that you would overwrite existing site dependencies. See the section User install in the wiki article on Pip install strategies.

it looks like tumbleweed uses some integer identifier as its value for $releasever_major

you can either edit weewx.repo to change this:

baseurl=http://weewx.com/suse/weewx/suse$releasever_major

to this:

baseurl=http://weewx.com/suse/weewx/suse15

or you can download the suse15 repofile:

curl -s https://weewx.com/suse/weewx-suse15.repo | sudo tee /etc/zypp/repos.d/weewx.repo

then when you do 'zypper install weewx' everything should work.  tested with tumbleweed 20241025

 

 Then tried installing from downloaded RPM:
  rpm -ihv weewx-5.1.0-2.suse15.noarch.rpm

try using zypper to install the rpm - it will handle the dependencies, whereas rpm will not.

did you install the python3-importlib_resources, python3-pip, and python3-venv packages before trying the pip install?

please note that you should use either rpm package or pip.  although it is possible to run weewx from both on a single machine, it is easy to get them confused.

i like to use rpm/deb installations when i am pushing weewx use salt or ansible, where the configuration is pretty stable and i don't plan to do many changes.  i tend to use the pip/venv installations for development or when i have to run weewx on an older system or a system on which i cannot install packaged python modules.  ymmv.
