Re: [Flamerobin-devel] Compiled FlameRobin 0.9.3 Unicode

[Dalton C. <dal...@gm...>]

I have just found a debian install file for the 9.3 version from February
of 2020

https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/18.04/ubuntu-universe-amd64/flamerobin_0.9.3~+20160512.c75f8618-2_amd64.deb.html

So someone is attempting to keep it up to date but doing a poor job of
letting the rest of the world know.

I don't know (have not looked at the git commit logs yet) how out of date
that build is, but, I can use that file with my new build to create an
install file for you.

So, if you have a newer (uncommited) version of the code that you would
like to release, let me know, commit it and I will build and produce a
tar.gz and deb file for you.  RPM will take a while longer as I have not
used a rpm distro for about 15 years.
