Thanks. I am using 12.1. Any idea why was it depreciated and which app replaced it? I was using it excessively to keep my data synced on my HHDs in Ubuntu box.
Thanks for the pointer to the old repo. Trying to install but fear it may break or not stay updated.
The entire contrib repo was deprecated with 12.1
Instead the maintainers were encouraged to put their packages into the main factory repo.
Look in OBS to see who the old maintainer was and send them an email asking that they make it available for 12.1 somewhere and that they submit it to factory for the future.
That would be me. As there is interest in having this package in Factory, I'll take care of submitting it there (originally, I've packaged it mostly for fun).
Right now it does not build due to some weird compilation error, but I'll investigate.
That's actually a good advice. The maintainer will also get to know that there are users who appreciate his work. I wish there was a channel where users can rate/review apps so as to encourage developers -- the way Gnome Extension is doing :-)
Yep, it's always nice to know somebody uses your work.
I think you would find that there are many more people looking for this type of apt that aren't even using this list. Even though many experienced users would tend to use the CLI there are many new users that are coming from a GUI only environment and need these types of apts to get them through the transition while learning how to use linux in general.
