I am not saying you would need this tool. Because it targets more than just Ubuntu, it may be better investment, maybe even better than using Snaps. I did not test anything like that with Kexi though. You can also: - build Kexi by hand on your computer - build Kexi and package it (and share with others?) - use the https://build.opensuse.org/ service to do the same - ask someone else to make a package Finding people that _regularly_ help with packaging Kexi will help the project. Things will improve, just now the focus is on development of the new shiny Kexi 3. -- regards, Jaroslaw Staniek KDE: : A world-wide network of software engineers, artists, writers, translators : and facilitators committed to Free Software development - http://kde.org Calligra Suite: : A graphic art and office suite - http://calligra.org Kexi: : A visual database apps builder - http://calligra.org/kexi Qt Certified Specialist: : http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek _______________________________________________ Kexi mailing list Kexi@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kexi
