The current version of the CopyQ program that I can install on a Raspberry Pi is v6.4

This is the 64bit version of the Raspberry Pi OS.

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

I would like to see current versions of CopyQ available for Linux ARM either in the Raspberry Pi repository or available for download from GitHub.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

I use CopyQ on many other Linux systems and I backup and restore the data and configurations regularly. Not sure if I will run into issues when copying backups from newer versions and restoring to an older version of the program. Besides that potential issue, I would just like to see current version builds for ARM64 Linux. The program should preferably be built for the 32bit and the 64bit version of the operating system.

I've enabled the builds for ARM on openSUSE Build Service. Here are the builds:

Can you confirm that those work?

I downloaded the arm64/aarch64 package and I have installed it. The program starts, is running the current version and appears to work. At this time I have not done any additional testing, but it does appear to at least work at the most basic level.

THANK YOU!

Will there be a link to these on this GitHub site along with the other releases, or will I have to bookmark this SUSE site?

On a slightly different note, whenever I perform an upgrade using a DEB package I always have to run a dkpg uninstall first - e.g.

sudo dpkg -r copyq-plugins sudo dpkg -r copyq

and then sudo dpkg -i copyq_7.1.0-1_arm64.deb

Not that it is a huge deal, but is there a way to just do an upgrade without having to do the remove first?

Thanks again!

Robert

I'll be including the packages in releases on GitHub from now on.

I'm not very familiar with dpkg. Maybe the problem is that the distro packages are split into app and plugins package but the single package built with openSUSE Build Service contains both components.
