Description: As the summary says, it appears that the zim
package has been orphaned and is now out of date. There has
been an architectural change in the mean time; the project
has switched from perl to python. To the best of my
knowledge the perl version will no longer be developed past
its most recent update. However, to confuse the issue the
new python version (0.42) and a maintenance release for the
perl version (0.29) were both released at the same time. The
Arch package is currently on version 0.28. I think the most
reasonable thing to do is to skip version 0.29 and update
the package directly to 0.42 since that is where all future
development will happen.
Additional info: * zim current package version 0.28 maintenance release 0.29 actual new version 0.42 |
