Hello Debian, Current Gambas3 package in the repository are a too old version of Gambas 3.1.1. Current version is 3.4 and a lot has been added, fixed and such.
And because of new features added Gambas 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 apps will run in 3.4, but 3.4 will NOT run on 3.3, 3.2, 3.3. So within the 3 series a higher subnumber will NOT run on a lower subnumber. As a Gambas developer I am faced with the fact I can't distribute Gambas3 applications on Debian as they are all Gambas 3.3 or up and won't run on 3.1.1 (I think no Gambas developer even uses 3.1.1 anymore) This is a bit of a disaster considering that for my Gambas2 applications 2/3 of downloads are Ubuntu based users and 1/3 Debain based users. So I'm kind of loosing 1/3 of my audience here for Gambas3 applications!! Could you please have a more recent version (3.4) of Gambas in the repository. This would also benifit the Raspberry Pi users as Raspberry Pi is willing to update its repository as soon as a newer version is available in Debian. And Gambas2 should also stay available, it can run on same system as Gambas3 without any problems. This way Gambas2 written applications can keep running without the need of a port to Gambas3. Note: Gambas2 applications will only run with Gambas2 and Gambas3 application will only run Gambas3. If I knew how to package and set up a Debian repository I would have done so. So I hope I can count on Debian to get it's repository update. Thanks you, Willy Raets, The Netherlands _______________________________________________ Pkg-gambas-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-gambas-devel
