| Name: units | Distribution: openSUSE Tumbleweed |
| Version: 2.27 | Vendor: openSUSE |
| Release: 1.1 | Build date: Thu Apr 2 22:43:23 2026 |
| Group: Productivity/Scientific/Physics | Build host: reproducible |
| Size: 955499 | Source RPM: units-2.27-1.1.src.rpm |
| Packager: https://bugs.opensuse.org | |
| Url: https://www.gnu.org/software/units/ | |
| Summary: Conversion Utility | |
The 'units' program converts quantities expressed in various scales to their equivalents in other scales. Units can also convert temperature values (Fahrenheit to Celsius, for example) but this needs a slightly different input syntax. See the man page for details.

* Thu Apr 02 2026 Andreas Stieger <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- update to 2.27:
* Fix a segmentation fault and other bugs and memory leaks
* Thu Mar 05 2026 Petr Gajdos <pgajdos@suse.com>
- fix the filelist
* Mon Mar 02 2026 Andreas Stieger <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- units 2.26:
* The currency update script units_cur now generates four
separate files so that failures to reach a server can be
independent.
* Crypto pricing is now fetched from coingecko by default, but
Packetizer is available as an alternative using the new -c
option. This change fixes problems connecting to Packetizer.
* Suppress repeated unit values in display of unit definitions
when the duplicate values have different white space.
(e.g., "10 m/s^2 = 10 m / s^2"
* Sun Jan 18 2026 Andreas Stieger <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- units 2.25:
* Changed units_cur to ignore invalid CPI data
* Add support for multivariate functions
* Because comma is used for multivariate functions, the comma is
no longer allowed in unit names. Four units whose names
contained the comma were renamed with an underscore replacing
the comma. Affected units: lambda_C,p; lambda_C,n; lambda_C,mu;
and lambda_C,tau.
* Extended (hyperbolic) trigonometric functions to include secant,
csc cot, sech, coth, csch and their inverses.
* Added some multvariate units like windchill, heatindex, bmi,
hypot
* Added "search _" to list the run-time variables (which start
with _)
* Added --list-units (noniteractive) and "search ." (interactive)
to list all unit definitions.
- drop units-gcc15.patch, includes upstream
* Mon Jul 14 2025 pgajdos@suse.com
- upstream patch to fix build with C23
- added patches
fix build with gcc15
+ units-gcc15.patch
* Mon Jun 30 2025 pgajdos@suse.com
- build with -std=gnu11 to fix build with gcc15
* Tue Nov 26 2024 Andreas Stieger <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- units 2.24:
* Units definitions updated to reflect 2022 NIST CODATA.
* Added ':=' assignment for interactively defined variables
* Interactive variable definitions now appear in the log file
* Added interactive "set" command to set or change options
* Function additions for circles, diameters, wire gauges, pipes
* Mon Feb 26 2024 pgajdos@suse.com
- remove dependency on /usr/bin/python3 using
%python3_fix_shebang macro, [bsc#1212476]
* Mon Feb 19 2024 Andreas Stieger <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- units 2.23:
* molarvolume changed to have dimensions of m^3/mol for
consistency with NIST
* Corrected erroneous definitions of moondist_min and
moondist_max
* Added atomic masses for all isotopes of all elements in
elements.units
* Added US Consumer Price index in cpi.units, which is updated
monthly by units_cur. Inflation calculations are possible with
dollars_in() or inflation_since() and other related nonlinear
units
* Made exchangerate-api the default currency server
* Adjusted US survey units to use the international foot by
default due to deprecation of the US survey foot
* abs() function works on units with dimensions, like -27 degrees.
* Support unicode operators for division and multiplication
* Ignore QUIT signal, which is sent by Ctrl-Backslash and Ctrl-4.
* Suppress repeated unit values in display of unit definitions
* Unit reductions that take more than 1000 steps now give a
"circular reference" error.
* More detailed reporting from the --check (-c) option.
* Fixed bug in positioning pointer to errors in input when the
input has leading spaces.
* Fixed parser memory leak with numbers too large or small for
type double.
* Allow multiple divisions in expressions that start with "/",
e.g. "/m/s"
* Sun Dec 25 2022 Andreas Stieger <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- units 2.22:
* Fixed bug: segfault on inverse conversions of tables in verbose
mode
* Added support for ExchangeRate-API in units_cur
* Minor unit definition fixes and updates, including updates to
planetary data and a change in Rinfinity and hartree to
increase accuracy.
* Do not update currency.units at build
