I want to test a program called WoeUSB, but it is only available from these repositories
not in the official repositories, is it ok to install a tumbleweed package in opensuse 42.3 stable?
Thanks
Hi
I wouldn’t since it’s built with gcc 7… ask the maintainer to add openSUSE 42.3 as a build target…
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home%3Aweberho%3Atools/woeusb
Look in the changes file for the email address…
Plus it needs updating to version 2.1.3.
There are builds for 42.2 which almost certainly will work on 42.3 since 42.3 can be considered a minor upgrade to 42.2. Whether you decide to remain subscribed to the repo is your decision, but generally speaking is not that big a risk when it’s a private repo.

As for installing an app compiled with a compiler not generally available for the distro,
If the code is pre-compiled there should not be a problem… The compiler is relevant only during compiling and never an issue just to run the compiled code (The compiler is relevant to the source code, not the compiled code).

Hi
In this case it’s the “nothing provides libwx_baseu-suse.so.3()(64bit)”
and others… like I said, easier to ask the maintainer to just add the
build target.
