[arch-general] Question regarding cmake
Hello everybody, I noticed that extra/cmake depends on core or extra packages exception made for community/rhash. I was trying to use build.opensuse.org to build a package but was unable to use cmake due to the fact that it depends on a package in community which is not included in build.opensuse.org My question is: is it fine for an extra package to depend on a package found in community? I tried to search for policies but didn't find anything. It would be really helpful if rhash could be brought in extra or, if not strictly needed by cmake, to be made an optdep for it. I checked on debian.packages.org, they have 3.9.3-1 as the latest version of cmake which don't depend on rhash, I can't say anything for version 3.9.4 currently in extra. I'm saying it would be useful as cmake is used by many project ad being able to use it on opensuse build service would enable more packages to be built there for Arch.

That would be a lot better.

Only unwritten rules I believe.

To be honest, this is also a bit silly of OBS (also filtering a lot of "license" issue packages) and I believe you can actually enable the community repo on it. -- Jelle van der Waa

Thanks, as I started to experiment with OBS only in the last days I didn't notice that I could add additional paths under di repository and it actually turned out there is an Arch:Community repo. I just couldn't find at the beginning and found only resources stating community packages weren't available.
Thanks and sorry for the noise -- sValo -- PGP ID 0x06DD1631 -- www.eigenlab.org -- www.exploitpisa.org -- "It must be inconvenient to be made of flesh," said the Scarecrow thoughtfully, "for you must sleep, and eat and drink.
