Some apps will need a textlive to have a 24.08 branch in order to update to a newer runtime:

How much work would it take to add support for the latest Freedesktop SDK?

It´s not as easy as I expected ( #164 ) . I´ll look into it another time.

As I understand the following issues, we have to skip the runtime 22.04.

There is no 22.04....

There is no skipping 24.08. Other apps rely on this.

the fix will trickle to 24.08.

@hfiguiere Thanks for prioritizing a fix! I don't want to have to choose between dropping texlive support altogether or hold back on updating the Freedesktop runtime version:
