Will Opensuse leap 15.0 support older version of OpenCV?
Opensuse leap 15.0 has builtin OpenCV version of 3.3 and i need to install OpenCV version 2.4
When i try to install older version i get below dependency error:
linux-29hf:# rpm -i opencv-2.4.11-2.11.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libopencv_calib3d.so.2.4()(64bit) is needed by opencv-2.4.11-2.11.x86_64

In any case, I guess it is better to use zypper to install the RPM rather then rpm. Because zypper will install the dependencies when it can find them in the repos and rpm does not know anything about the repos.
But it would of course be very logical that an older version of a package requires similar older versions of other packages.
Let’s see… It seems that OpenCV 2.4 was released in 2013 which is the year that openSUsE 13.1 was released…
There’s a chance that 13.2 might still support dependencies of packages in 2013, but it’s unlikely very many packages will be supported by the time LEAP 42.1 was released in 2015.
Recommend you build an openSUSE 13.1 or a 13.2 in a virtual machine isolated from the Internet. The OSS and non-OSS repos are probably available as archives at that time, but I wouldn’t know how to find archive repos for any of the specialty repos,
I’d probably recommend you talk to OpenCV folk for their recommendations how to migrate the data you might have to a current OpenCV.
