[SOLVED] Missing software - how to request package

Postby Meo » Jun 4th, '13, 13:00

Where do I "apply" for inclusion of missing software?
I would like to see a certain (gpl'ed) software included in the repos. How do I go about this?

if you are sure that the software you'd like to have is not already in some repositories,
you can open a bug as a wish: ;)

and if you are in hurry you could also prepare it by yourself

Thanks for the link.
Someone already requested it.
Ive been compiling and packaging the software (RetroShare) for myself for quite some time now. Just thought it would be useful for others to have it in the repos.
