Hey there, The links below list Ubuntu MOTU as the maintainer of autokey, so I hope this was the right place for me to send this.
I'm trying to find out whether there's someone who needs a nudge when a package has been updated upstream. In this case, I'm talking about AutoKey, which recently got a new maintainer on the Debian team and has very recently been added to Debian. Several of us would love to see this particular package make it into the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS repository, so I thought I'd make an attempt at a nudge. If you look on the https://packages.ubuntu.com/autokey page, all Ubuntu releases (including the daily build beta for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) are currently offering version 0.90.4-1.1 of AutoKey. That version has several bugs, is no longer supported, is not maintained, has been replaced, and is currently at the much more solid 0.95.9 version. You can get more information about the current version here: https://github.com/autokey/autokey/releases You can see Debian's AutoKey maintainer's recent Debian pull request for the current version of AutoKey here: https://github.com/autokey/autokey/pull/364 The AutoKey Google group recently had this message from one of the team members that explains why the package should be updated: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/autokey-users/EEnXy24siHA/r4Ome1VICwAJ Note: That page is long, so if the link takes you to some other part of the page, do a search for "Holey moley!" and you'll find the message from Joe that discusses this. Also, I noticed that there's an autokey-qt package, but the only release it's available in is Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 LTS. I'm not sure if that's an oversight or what, so I thought I'd mention it here in case that needs to be looked into. That one is listed separately here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=autokey-qt Once again, hopefully this was the right place to send this message. If any of you have questions that I don't know the answers to, feel free to let me know. I can ask them in the Google group. They're very responsive and helpful. -- Little Girl There is no spoon. -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
