SUMMARY
***
This bug report is for systemdgenie (https://invent.kde.org/system/systemdgenie). I could not find this application from the list of applications in this bug reporting system. Although the author said to report bugs here.

The bug is that there is no way to get the software. I tried the following:

- apt install systemdgenie: not found
- Discover: not found
- The download link is broken: https://download.kde.org/stable/systemdgenie/: 404 not found.
- I also tried to download the source and install using the instructions:

user@host:~/systemdgenie/systemdgenie-master/build$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=\`kf5-config --prefix\`
CMake Error: Unknown argument --prefix`
CMake Error: Run 'cmake --help' for all supported options.
***

It seems there is no way to get this software. Please send this to the developer. I would like to try this software.

In general, KDE has historically relied on 3rd parties to package our software and make it available to users. For apps, we are starting to package them ourselves, so if distros aren't playing ball, we could at least make this app available via Flatpak and Snap.

So what would you suggest, I would like to try the software. I thought KDE neon would already have some sort of interface to manage systemd services.

Can the broken 404 link to download the software be fixed at least?  https://download.kde.org/stable/systemdgenie/ doesn't work.
