Description Emir SARI 2023-03-21 17:15:36 UTC
It has been a while since the last KTechLab release. There are new translations and improvements included, but no one gets it, because there is no release. KTechLab should be included in KDE Gear, so that everyone can get the updated translations and (if there are) other improvements.
Comment 1 Zoltan Padrah 2023-03-27 13:49:08 UTC
I completely agree.

Perhaps do you know what needs to be done to get KTechLab included into KDE Gear? If not, it's ok, I will look into it.

Meanwhile I think I should make a new release anyway, because indeed the last release has been quite some time ago.
Comment 2 Emir SARI 2023-03-27 16:40:24 UTC
I, myself do not know the exact procedure, but Ben Cooksley probably does. I think opening a ticket on Phabricator should be sufficient at the initial stage.

What I have found on the wiki:

https://community.kde.org/Schedules

" See Policies/Application_Lifecycle for what gets released where.  "

https://community.kde.org/Policies/Application_Lifecycle

- based on this, KTechLab currently is in playground
- to get into KDE Gear, it should go through kdereview
  - after kdereview, Ask release-team for inclusion -- https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/release-team/

So, as I see, to get into KDE Gear, the following should be done:
1. prepare for kdereview
  1.1 see a checklist here: https://community.kde.org/ReleasingSoftware
  1.2 also see open bugs on bugzilla... 
2. go through kdereview
  2.1 fix anything signaled there
3. apply for inclusion in KDE Gear
