Debian: Coming soon! MycroftAI! KDE snaps update.

Posted on January 8, 2023 by sgmoore

I am excited to announce that I have joined the MycroftAI team in Salsa and working hard to get this packaged up and released in Debian. You can track our progress here:

Snaps are on temporary hold while we get everything switched over to core22. This includes the neon-extension, that requires merges and store requests to be honored. Hopefully folks are returning from holidays and things will start moving again. Thank you for your patience!

I am still seeking work if you or anyone you know is willing to give me a chance to shine, you won’t regret it, life has leveled out and I am ready to make great things happen! I admit the interviewing process is much more difficult than in years past, any advice here is also appreciated. Thank you for stopping by.

Debian uploads, Core22 KDE snap content pack and more!

Sunset, Witch Wells Arizona

I have been quite busy! I have been working on several projects so my cover image is a lovely sunset where I live.

Debian:

I have updated and uploaded several packages and working on more.

  • Umbrello
  • Squashfuse with the help of Scott Moser ( Thanks! )
  • libappimage
  • plasma-bigscreen WIP

KDE Snaps:

I have reworked the CI to now do Core22 snaps! They will publish to the beta channel until we get them tested. First snap completed is the ever important KDE Frameworks / QT content snap + SDK! Applications will start after I tackle the kde-neon extention in snapcraft.

GUI-Testing:

I have begun learning/writing some GUI tests using python and https://invent.kde.org/sdk/selenium-webdriver-at-spi/, inspired by one of my favorite people, Harald. See https://apachelog.wordpress.com/2022/12/14/selenium-at-spi-gui-testing/ for more info and I hope to get these in repos near you soon!

In closing, I am still seeking employment/sponsor amidst this terrible layoff season. If anyone knows of anyone with my diverse skill set please let me know.

In the meantime if you can spare anything to keep the lights on I would be ever so grateful.

KDE is all about the apps!

Posted on October 1, 2022 by sgmoore

Hello everyone. I am back to bringing KDE to your desktops in a variety of formats. I am always working on Debian packages, but now I will be working diligently to get these packages in Debian proper. Along with Debian packaging, I will be working on getting KDE into a variety of new packaging formats that are self contained packages of awesomeness. These formats are Snaps, Appimages and Flatpacks. I am starting with Snaps because I started the effort many years ago, but didn’t have the time to keep them up. As such, they are in a sad state, so I am working hard with Jonathan and ppd to get them back in shape. Keep an eye out in your favorite store for shiny new apps from KDE!
