Hello Carlo,

I can see that autopsy is already built against Leap 15.X so it shouldn't be such a big deal adding it.

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/security:forensics/autopsy

If autopsy needs to update SLES dependencies in order to build in Leap 15.6, then it's probably a nogo, since we're post Beta code submission deadline (but perhaps that is not the case). But if it's a matter of submitting autopsy and few dependencies to Leap (respective Backports project) we would be okay with having it.

If you're willing to maintain autopsy in Leap then you can submit it to https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP6

Otherwise we would not add package unless we have a maintainer for it.

THank you

Thank you for your response and making this more clear. The missed maintainer clarifies the situation. I honestly don't know how to solve it so, I'll close this issue marked as "insufficient data" due to missing maintainer.

Hello @Citizen839X I was trying to suggest that you could be the maintainer in Leap 15.6.

https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_for_Leap

You'd have to

osc sr openSUSE:Factory $package openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP6

and supply all missing dependencies (if any) and ensure it builds. It could be an evening or two. That's literally it. And then time to time submit updates as they make it to Factory/Tumbleweed.

That is 11 years(!) old preGUI version. OP probably wants the current Java gui app. But from linked github repo it looks it could depend on JavaFX, which is only in TW repositories, not for Leap. So packaging will not be as easy as mentioned.

Indeed and, yes, exactly I meant but forgot to mention, I'm sorry.
The modern Autopsy version (current build is 4.21.0) that I was able to test in snap package version is also buggy as hell compared to Windows. It seems that who develop this, haves a particular keen eye for commercial purpose. Even under Wine I had troubles with the disk mounting. Even in Virtual Machine (Windows 10x64) I had troubles with the drives and external USB mount. QtPhotoRec is actually the essential core that I'm using, and it works just fine. I don't want to sound negative, but it's a pity that a so well rock solid distro like openSUSE, it doesn't provide for a complete forensic tool side. For the future, it would be great to see a dedicated section in YaST and also the marketing side could push a more professional side rather than the recent gaming side mentioned in the website. Of course gaming is a valid thing too but maybe a little limited and too consumer side when we think about openSUSE as power house, opensource workstation.

I'm testing the WSL under Windows 11 (secondary OS) with the openSUSE-Tumbleweed module and is incredible, so great. Right now, I'm listening some music with Clementine Linux (x64) that works so much better than the Win version, limited to x86 architecture (which is very unpleasant on my Ryzen9 AM4). I like to do some testing like this, sometimes. Lot of fun :)

I am happy to hear that you play with WSL as that also falls under my responsibility. But let's keep focus of this ticcket to autopsy :-)

If you'd need any basic guidance on packaging then we started to publish contribution workshops at https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=opensuse+contribution+workshop
The future agenda
https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/openSUSE-Contribution-Workshop

Issues should be split and reported separately btw https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports

I suggest that you can pop up in our public Tuesday or Thursday weekly meetings https://calendar.opensuse.org/teams/marketing and we can discuss it there and suggest next steps etc.

See you!
