KDE Gear 23.04.1 Snaps Released! Snapcraft updates and more.

/

I have completed the 23.04.1 KDE Gear applications release for snaps! With this release comes several new KDE Snaps! Plus many long outdated / broken snaps are updated and or fixed! Check them all out here: https://snapcraft.io/search?q=KDE I have been busy triaging and squashing bugs in regards to snaps on https://bugs.kde.org Snapcraft: Updated the kde-neon extension for the newest content pack. Made a core22 qmake plugin with tests PR https://github.com/canonical/craft-parts/pull/463 Future work: Top on my TO-DO list is still PIM. There are many parts, making it more complex. I am working on it though. QT6/KF6 is making it’s way to the top of the list as well. KDE Neon has made significant progress here, so I am in early stages of updating our build scripts to generate our qt6/kf6 content snap. Thanks for stopping by! https://gofund.me/2c7b1808 All proceeds go to improving my ability to work. Thanks for your consideration!

KDE Snaps, Gear 23.04.0 available in snap store

It has been another crazy busy couple of weeks. There are too many snaps released to list here, but you can track my progress here: https://invent.kde.org/packaging/snapcraft-kde-applications/-/issues/30 Some notable releases are: I updated our Frameworks/QT5 content pack to kf5 105 and qt5 5.15.9. I have added more documentation at: https://invent.kde.org/teams/neon/-/wikis/Snaps I am finishing up the last of 23.04.0 snaps and will tackle KDE PIM suite next week. I will also work on more apps that have their own release cycle. Several snap bugs have been resolved and closed! Please remember if you have issues, to file them at bugs.kde.org as I have a hard time finding them at <insert random forum / social network here> On the Debian front, I successfully closed two CVE’s for ruby-rack in Buster! I will be doing more ELTS/LTS security updates next month! Thanks for stopping by! If you enjoy my work, consider a dontation. https://gofund.me/2c7b1808

KDE Snaps! Oh so many released! Debian update

/

It has been another very busy couple of weeks! I have released many snaps, fixed a few bugs, started the documentation, and have many snaps in progress. So without further ado here is my status update for KDE snaps: Fixed two very important Krita bugs: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465307 Fixed several other minor bugs and triaged all the snap bugs I could find on bugs.kde.org. Remember to assign snap bugs to me! It makes my life easier and I see them quicker. I have started some documentation for developers that want to assist in getting their KDE app snapped here: https://invent.kde.org/teams/neon/-/wikis/Snaps I have released around 40 snaps! This would make for a very unruly blog post to list, so I have created a list here of my releases: https://invent.kde.org/packaging/snapcraft-kde-applications/-/issues/30 I am happy to report there are several first time releases including a very kool music app called Elisia ! I have many more snaps in various stages and many more to come. My goal is to get them all by the end of this 3 months ( 1.5 left to get it done ), a lofty goal I know. What can I say, I am ambitious. Now on to Debian. I am excited to announce that soon I will become contributor status for Freexian ( and hopefully, after time, a collaborator ). I am waiting for my mentor to upload my first security update(s) for Buster LTS. This will be a new type of contributions for me, but I am confident I will do well and I have new hope that I have found my new forever home. I will be very useful in many areas and I look forward to growing with the company. In closing, if you can spare some change we have a few unexpected expenses ( doesn’t everyone?! ) Anything helps, thank you! https://gofund.me/2c7b1808

A Big Thank You Community! KDE Snaps resumed and More.

After my last post a few things have happened. First, I want to thank all of you for your support, monetary and moral. The open source community is amazing and I love being a part of it. We are surviving thanks to all of you. Despite my failed interview, a new door has opened up and I am happy to announce that Canonical is funding me to work part time for a period of 3 months on KDE Snaps! While not the full time role I was hoping for, I’ll take it, and who knows, maybe they will see just how awesome I am! 🙂 I started back to work on these last Tuesday. So far I have made good progress and even have a working Core22 snap! Work done on upstream snapcraft ( tool used to make snaps ): New content pack version, fixed an issue with snapcraft remote-build choking on part with /sdk, fixed regex as our naming scheme has changed: https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/pull/4069 Ran into a new bug with snapcraft expand-extensions and so I must now enter all of this information manually into snapcraft.yaml until fixed, bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+bug/2011719 And without further ado, our first core22 snap is Dragonplayer Version 22.12.3 available in the snap store. Many more coming soon! With a new month upon us, I must ask for help again, I will not see any money for this work until next month. Please consider a dontation. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. https://gofund.me/c9cc02ed
