Re: Yakuake releases
Yeah, one of the things I like about KDE Applications is that nothing contained within it can ever gets forgotten like this. It's not a panacea, of course, but we never run into a situation where an app that was once actively developed but has lost its development resources goes for a long time with no release because there's no longer an active maintainer to request it. This automatic release process strikes me as a very desirable feature. Nate On 6/22/19 3:55 PM, Andreas Sturmlechner wrote: Hi, as a packager I would appreciate more releases of not only yakuake.

Yakuake releases
Hello everyone, I notice that Yakuake's last release was 15 months ago. What do people think about getting it added to the KDE Applications bundle so that it gets auto-released on a regular basis? This might help to attract more contributors, among other benefits. Nate
