OpenSUSE Tumbleweed behind builds

[Bob Mattes]

Hi - OpenSUSE Tumbleweed OBS has been stuck on SS 5.04 since Oct 2021. I've been using the 5.0.8 appimage, but it doesn't integrate into the OpenSUSE menu system. Any thoughts on updating to 5.0.8 for Tumbleweed? From looking at the build histories, it appears that a couple of libraries are missing. Thanks!

This is the fundamental problem with the Linux app ecosystem... there are so many versions to track, and it's so hard to know which ones are actually used.

I'll try to find time in the next few days to look into the Tumbleweed build. I was gone for a couple of weeks for family reasons and I am massively behind on all kinds of things, but hopefully this won't be too hard to fix.

Thank you so much! I hope that all is OK there.

Apparently Tumbleweed has removed the libQt5WebKit5-devel package. Which means Subsurface can't display its user manual and can't print directly anymore. I will need to figure out a way to setup the builds so that WebKit is optional and the builds still succeed on Tumbleweed, but that of course means that we have an official build that is missing two key features...

Thanks, Dirk! That's sad on OpenSUSE. I will put in a ticket with them to restore the required packages. I'm not sure that it's worth your effort to accommodate since the appimage works fine.

There should now be (somewhat crippled) builds for Subsurface 5.0.8 in both Tumbleweed and openSUSE 15.4 flavors.

Thanks for pointing out that omission.

I'd appreciate if you could test those.

Thanks, Dirk! I'll test the Tumbleweed one this morning.

I was able to install 5.08-7.1 from your obs repository using YaST Software with no issues. Neither Printing nor User Manual are offered in the menus, and  libQt5WebKit5-devel is not listed as a dependency. Otherwise, the build seems to work fine. I can still work with the log and link to my Suunto Eon Core. I have never printed from subsurface and use the online user manual if needed, so this version does everything that I normally need.

Thank you so much for accommodating OpenSUSE Tumbleweed's quirk. I will still work with the build maintainers to get libQt5WebKit5-devel restored to the repositories.
