The latest emacs version 29.4-lp156.530.2-x86_64 binary package published in the editors repository
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/editors/emacs
does not seem to be buildable. It shows as “unresolvable.” How does one go about reporting this?
The repository appears to be alive which means - if it does not build, then the existing maintainers do not have either time or interest to fix it. In which case the best way is to prepare a fix and submit SR to the repository.
I think “they” may be focusing on v30 now. I just wanted something between v27.2 and v30.1 and picked v29.4 as a happy medium.
This gave me a chance to build emacs from git source under distrobox running a leap 15.6 container, so I successfully did that without cluttering my own leap 15.6 daily driver!
At some future time I may start learning how to fix/modify an RPM source package – now is not that time.
Emacs-29.4 is available:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/editors/15.6/x86_64/emacs-29.4-lp156.530.2.x86_64.rpm
ILL emacs 30 is not buildable for Leap 15.6, but available for Leap 16.0.
