Hi,
Thank you for letting me know.
I think there is a good reason for packaging it for the stable branch - a “Release” build flag is missing in the version that is in the Manjaro stable branch. It cause unexpected crashes in the app. There is no change to dependencies.
Regards,
Jonathan
We don’t normally fast track packages unless there are security updates. We will also fast track static binaries or architecture agnostic packages that do not have ELF files. See Manjaro Features
If we fast tracked musescore to stable, then we would also logically have to fast track every other package that has a bug fix. That is unreasonable and unrealistic. Manjaro has three branches for a reason.
Think of each branch as a separate version of Manjaro. Each has their own versions of packages along with their linked dependency versions. Often a package in unstable cannot be pushed to stable because it was built against newer libraries.
You can also build 3.6.2-7 yourself if you wish:
sudo pacman -Syu --needed base-devel
mkdir -p musescore && cd musescore
wget https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/11253398b5efd17c768ecf6dd73830b41585c0a8/trunk/PKGBUILD
makepkg -srcif
You’re in luck, there is a new stable update containing an updated package:
Latest version of musescore is also available as an appimage, flatpak and snap package
Download | MuseScore
great!
I’m use to how easy arch repos are to maintain software up to date that i really avoid appimages and I also didn’t try flatpack ever.
3 posts were split to a new topic: Element-desktop depends on electron19, witch is not available on manjaro yet
I noticed that the yt-dlp package in the community repo is outdated. The latest version is 2022.08.19, and that version comes with a very important fix that makes downloading YouTube videos work again. Because of this, I had to use sudo pip install --upgrade yt-dlp to get the latest version myself. Is there any way for you guys to repackage it with that version since it’s packaged by the Arch team?
Arch just updated it to 2022.08.19-1. It’s now synced to unstable and pushed to testing.
Awesome, thank you for the fast response! Keep up the good work!
Looks like calibre has received an update to 6.5.0 id consider it a minor update but it adds support for new firmware on kobo e readers at least
could you update Latte-dock please?
i see there’s a more recent version in the AUR repository and with the new Plasma 5.25,Latte has some issues.
Thanks.
Try Installing the dev version (latte-dock-git) from the AUR it’s being patched for now by the KDE devs for any bugs that might arise. At this time not likely to get new features cause the maintainer quit further development on Latte.
latte-dock is imported from Arch. I’ve moved your post to the appropriate thread. However, we already have the latest stable release (0.10.8-1) available in all branches.
element-desktop/element-web should be updated, because of multiple security issues.
The fixed version 1.11.8 is already in all repos, as the branch compare tells me.
python-jarowinkler has been updated to 1.2.3, and I’ve a package relies on it, now is broken, update is very much welcomed.
Firefox in the repos is outdated as of writing because 106.0.1 was released yesterday (Oct. 19). It has some crash fixes that affects some users with certain AMD CPUs (Ryzen 1st and 2nd gen included). I haven’t updated Firefox from version 105 due to this
