From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The OBS and Bottles packages have been broken for a long time. Long enough that both upstream projects asked them to stop many months ago. They don't get to pretend it was a mistake. This isn't just another case of a minor packaging bug getting to users. They are packaging the software incorrectly.
