Hi! As far as I am aware, we do have the infrastructure for automated Flatpak-builds, however we really do need somebody willing to figure out, exactly how this is done for RKWard (personally, I have no idea). The following appears to be a useful starting point of documentation: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Flatpak . So if you do want to help, take a look at this, and see how far you can get. This would be much appreciated, indeed. As for the startup bug on Linux Mint, this can probably be fixed by installing libkf5config-bin . It's a packaging bug in Mint (missing dependency). |
Created attachment 123967 [details] dialogue message from Rkard on LM Cinnamon Hi, I'm a beginner in the R world and I find Rkward is certainly the best tool for people like me (and certainly for more advanced users too). With the ease of use of Rstudio and the efficiency of R-commander, I am now using it to achieve my current project. However, I'm a Linux Mint (LM) Cinnamon user, not a KDE one, so I installed Kubuntu in a VM to use Rkward, because the installation didn't work on two different PC with LM. So, is there a scheduled project to make (and share) Rkward as a Flatpak (or an AppImage) to make it more portable from one distro to another ? I'm an economist, neither a statistician nor a developer, but I would be happy to help to do this (with my little skills). Best regards P.S. For information purpose, when I installed rkward on LM Cinnamon, it always opened a dialogue with "could not find KDE installation" with a complain about kreadconfig5 (cf. attachment)
