No matter the opinion or side but you are aware that such posts just light up the fire between the groups even more?

#codeberg limits my mobile access. First time I use it today from mobile. Seems like a false-positive.

Didn't know about it until now.
From a first quick look (2 mins) it looks like a similar approach of building a self-contained library building platform as #nix is doing?
Haven't made my opinion on such approaches yet (in detail), so can't say much substantial about it.

Not (yet). I was thinking about it some time ago but then I realized that it might be a too negative one and I should rather focus on positive-minded posts boosting the projects that do things well.
And it would probably cause a heated discussion with Dirk (again), which I've had enough of in the past already.

maybe the new manylinux binaries from Posit might do it. They might indeed have their place for niche Linux distros as they bundle the syslibs within their binary so you don't have to link dynamically against the local ones.

there are no official binaries built for Fedora I am aware of.
Fedora release cycles are too fast compared to RHEl and Ubuntu. Similarly the libs aren't recent enough but also not small enough to be of interest for CI.
So it's hard to find an argument building distinct binaries for it.
I guess most just build from source.
WRT to r2u: I am not a fan of it and don't recommend using it. I think it's the fundamental wrong approach to language binaries.

Update: a person from #posit saw my post on BlueSky and initiated a rebuild.
Still wondering why nobody noticed or reported this earlier. The total duration was ~ 2 weeks, or maybe a bit longer even, depending on when the library update happened.
Most likely nobody noticed yet as most people don't update their syslib reguraly (enough).
(And yes, I didn't report it on purpose immediately as I was curious to find out what happens as I already reported the last case before that for libgit2 ~ 1.5 years ago)

RE: https://social.linux.pizza/@pat_dev/115609869879541234
Bump!
#posit binaries of spatial #rstats packages are still broken as of right now . Seems nobody has reported this to them yet.

PSA: #rstats Posit PM binaries for spatial packages (sf, terra, etc.) on RHEL9/Rocky9/Alma9 are broken right now after a major bump from Proj8 to Proj9 in the Appstream repo lately.
rpkgs.com binaries have been already rebuilt to link against the new syslib versions.
install.packages("terra", repos = "cran.rpkgs.com/amd64/rhel9/latest")
