kdiff3 is old in chocolatey/is this the right repo #337

Closed Cyber1000 closed 2 years ago

Cyber1000 commented 2 years ago

https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/kdiff3 says this is the "possible source repo" for kdiff3. But actually I've found only an icon here in this repo.

The point is: Is kdiff3 maintained through this repo? If yes, there is a version 1.9.5 already (in chocolatey 0.9.98), is it possible to update this? If no can you point me to the right repo of the package maintainer?

Thanks!

@Cyber1000 no, this package is not maintained here in this repository. The kdiff3 package was actually just updated to replace deprecated functions by a new maintainer md97.

My suggestion would be to reach out to them to see if they are in a position to update it.

However, looking at the site:

http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/

It does appear that this is still the latest version, unless it is now hosted on another site.

kdiff3 migrated away from the SF website a long time ago, and it's new home has been https://invent.kde.org/sdk/kdiff3 for at least a few years now. The latest release is 1.9.5 as per https://download.kde.org/stable/kdiff3/.

@jnsn I get a 404 on this link

And you are right kdiff is version 1.9.5.

I just came from https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/kdiff3 and it says package maintainer "ferventcoder" (and others), so I thought this github-repo must match, but I couldn't find it here.

It has been removed since I mentioned it: https://github.com/ferventcoder/chocolatey-packages/commit/d2c2489c98a47613f1490fae13d1dd2c120eaa72
