Apostrophe sat for a very long time (for years) at version 2.6.3 as the developer(s) overhauled the code to GTK4 and made other improvements. They finished that in May, 2024. Version 3.0 was released to Flathub and has been built as an RPM for Fedora 41. Can we please build and release it for Fedora 40 and put that ancient 2.6 codebase to bed? Pretty please? Thanks. -t
> Can we please build and release it for Fedora 40 and put that ancient 2.6 codebase to bed? We can't Unfortunately, see: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-84fc5db100#comment-3519202 Upstream not very happy about any non-flatpak build in general. So probably we should retire Apostrophe completely from Fedora repos. In same time Apostrophe developer said that he will try push downstream patches of libspelling and sourceview into upstream of this libs. But the question is what Fedora should do until then?
Gotcha. Makes sense and I can empathize with upsteam (trying to control the permutations of builds). I just prefer RPMs versus Flatpaks in most cases. Ah well. Thank you for responding. You can close this if you like.
