Only NGINX source package found in repo

Hello,

I added the webservers repo as follows:

zypper ar -r http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/http/openSUSE_13.2/server:http.repo nginx

I need to install NGINX however I can see only src packages. I tried the repo from the official NGINX page as well but same result.


:~ # zypper se nginx
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...


S | Name       | Summary                                  | Type
--+------------+------------------------------------------+-----------
  | nginx      | A HTTP server and IMAP/POP3 proxy server | srcpackage
  | nginx-perl | Full-featured perl support for nginx     | srcpackage

I am using openSUSE 13.2 on an Arm Cloud at Scaleway.com. Any idea what could be ticking? My first doubt is about the Kernel being arm-compiled.


~ # uname -sri
Linux 3.2.34-30 armv7l

If that is confirmed, I guess I should compile it from source.

Regards,

Ish

Whilst I’m not an official nginx packager for openSUSE, I always keep it packaged it in my home repo for some commercial ventures.

I added the ARM into the build scripts, let’s see if it compiles cleanly (I have no ARM devices to test it on - the compilation might take a fair bit of time as it seems there are lots of projects in front of me atm). I’ll post here when it has finished compiling and packaging.

Edit:
Here we go, this might work for you;


zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Miuku/openSUSE_Factory_ARM/home:Miuku.repo
zypper in --from home_Miuku nginx

Thank you. I’ll test the package when you post its availability.

Cheers,

Great! I just tested. NGINX installs and starts fine. Thank you once
again Miuku, that was fast :slight_smile:
