Hi Dirk, Hi everyone, The sad news concerning Arch is that I resigned my role as a developer a while ago due to lack of time and they apparently haven't found any other dev/TU interested to keep maintaining a subsurface package in the official repos.
There are still user-contributed packages in the AUR: - subsurface-git and subsurface-libdc-git, both of which I maintain. Their PKGBUILD only needs to be updated when the build process changes. Otherwise, a simple `makepkg` will pull and build the latest git snapshot. - subsurface and subsurface-libdc (stable versions) have been dropped there from the official repos and nobody has touched them since. So I would say Arch users are better off using the AppImage unless they wish to compile and run subsurface-git. Cheers. -- Gaetan On 02 Jul 2021 at 13:11 -0700, Dirk Hohndel wrote: > #insert usual lament about overall lack of testing these days > > Apparently my CI hadn't build AppImages in more than two months.
