demm because I use a non free French provider to store my files which uses Nextcloud. And because Dropbox is not tall enough.

I will ask to someone to help me to update it on KCP.
I have always the feeling that I’m boring people here with my questions...
‘Still using Kaos for two years without any problems.
love it.

    Default for KaOS is Seafile, still no answer what Nextcloud offers that Seafile does not (or my service for 10 years, Spideroak). Since there already quite a few of these kinds of applications in the repo, there has to be a compelling reason to add yet another. KaOS will always keep a limited amount of similar applications.

      demm I know that you don't want too many similar applications, that's just Seafile is another one paid solution...
      I'm compiling the KCP package by changing the packages source. Crossing fingers...

        Seafile has free storage, plus can be used as self hosted server (afaik, exactly like Nextcloud).
        Scratch the above, https://seacloud.cc/ is set close December 1 (I have used that free tier for about 5 years), no option to use any of their servers anymore, thus will be needed to make another file-syncing service the new default.
        Maybe best to start a poll for what most users prefer?

          In my experience seafile is much better (faster) for file synchronization then nextcloud. For backup and sharing files I use seafile. For calendars, contacs etc.. I use nextcloud (but it does not need extra software, because it sync through caldav and carddav). Also for basic file operations it is possible to use webdav and access nextcloud hosted files this way. Webdav should be included in lot of software (like libre office - so remote editting is possible). URL then looks like: webdavs://nextcloud-server.example/remote.php/webdav/.
          Both seafile and nextcloud can be self hosted. And one good approach is to run them inside container like docker. So for me no nextcloud client or servers is needed. It can be good-to-have, but not necessary.

          This thread is not about Flatpak or Appimages, it is about KaOS repositories, please keep the discussion to that.

          Two new applications added, one is more a replacement. MystiQ is added to eventually replace Qwinff, latter seems pretty dead, last release was from 2015. See the post on Gitter from the MystiQ dev for more info.
          Second added is Kvantum, it will be used to create a new Midna theme for 2020. Midna is now based on QtCurve, but that is quite dead too, so will be nice to base the KaOS theme on something actually maintained. Jomada will help with making a Kvantum based Midna theme.

            The pace is picking up for the python2 removal, so about a dozen packages left the repos last week alone.
            Three new applications were added (which resulted in about 10 new packages, for new needed depends).
            First is a plasmoid, systemd-plasmoid. With it you can easily maintain systemd services. The development for this plasmoid started just a little over a week ago, so it is not complete yet. Plan is for this to eventually replace systemd-kcm, since that one has been dead upstream for about 5 years.
            Second is PDFreader, with it Falkon has native PDF support, will be part of the default install starting with the next ISO.
            Third one took the most new packages, Spectral, a Qt5 based desktop client for Matrix. The needed libs added for this one were olm, libqtolm and libquotient. Those libs are the base for quite a few other Matrix clients. Spectral looks like the best fit for KaOS now, but with these depends in place it won't be hard to switch to another client should a better option become available.

            What about Ctrlr, a programmable (lua scripting) midi editor for hardware sequencers, written in Juce?
            I don't know an alternative for this software in Linux.
            The stable downloadable binaries (at ctrlr.org) are working without issues in Kaos, but maybe, when compilated from source code in Kaos, this software will be still more integrated in Kaos.

            Another proposition: luatex.
            Luatex offers pdftex enriched with the lua scripting language.

              Not a single person has ever mentioned using this for KaOS in it's seven years existence. Any added should have the potential to be actually used by more then one.
              It is also fully GTK centered, seems LMMS (in repo and Qt based) has quite a few of it's features (MIDI VST editor for example).

              mendez How about fwupd?

              This has been asked for twice now, still not something that looks desirable to many.
              See post 76

                    demm
                    Qtractor and lmms (via wine?) can load (some?) vst's (important feature to use only one midi port), but can not construct them.
                    Using Ctrlr, you can construct midi editors for nearly any midi hardware (sequencer, mixer, sampler., drummachine..) both as a standalone editor or as a vst-plugin. And this in different ways for every single machine (library, patch editor, mixer, sysex dump organiser ...). Ctrlr can output this drivers also as a xml file.
                    So Ctrlr can be a very useful auxiliary program for such software as qtractor , lmms or Rosegarden.
                    It features also the lua scripting language that still enhances its use in a steep way.

                    Nevertheless you are right to favour software used by many users.
                    And it is really a pity it isn't Qt centered. But I'm not aware of an alternative in linux
