Hi, in today Leap 15.1 version we can get scilab from official repos, but my concern is about what show the page https://software.opensuse.org/package/scilab, is not available for Tumbleweed neither Leap 15.2!, the only can be available from community packages (only Tumbleweed not Leap 15.2)? 
Specifically my concern is that works well in future releases, no matter if get from community packages!
If you are concerned then fix scilab so it builds also in future releases/

Descr: Build failure unfixable, and upstream doesn't care. See

Comment: Staging Project openSUSE:Factory:Staging:adi:76 got accepted.
I have several threads in opensuse forum about scilab and inability to compile it. I have also made comments to scilab developers. I have had no success building newer versions of scillab. I have downloaded binaries successively backward for previous versions. I went back til I found that binaries for 6.0.2 work. I now have that installed. Haven’t started doing much with it so I don’t know if fulnctionallity is ok but it appears to be ok.
I don’t know what changed in either scilab at 6.02 or opensuse around that time to prevent later versions from compiling or being able to run precompiled binaries.
Would like to get up to current version (6.1.0) either by compiling source or downloading binaries? Hope that can happen.
