Description Johannes Ranke 2022-04-24 19:25:56 UTC
Hi, not sure if this is the correct place to report this: The instructions on

https://rkward.kde.org/Binaries_and_Build_Scripts.html

to install rkward from a Debian source package are outdated, apt update gives

E: The repository 'https://files.kde.org/rkward/debian ./ Release' does not have a Release file.

Slightly off-topic: If rkward 0.7.3 was uploaded to Debian, the official Debian source package could be used for backports in the first place... and this additional repo would not be needed...

Cheers, Johannes

That repo has not seen updates in ages, removed this old bit of info. These days, the official package usually does get an update within a few days after a release, and in fact 0.7.3 has been uploaded to unstable, meanwhile.

OK, great, thanks for the quick action on this!
