Bug Description
Zim, Labyrinth, Kexy, Glom... do not operate or maintain old versions outdated with errors in repositories.
- Zim (a wiki) cannot make liks. It works ok installing from sources whit default options.
- Labyrinth, a mind-mapper, does not show an obvious form of changing relationships (links) between elements.
- Kexy, a database admin, cant create funcional form objects.
- Glom, a database admin, unable to establish types of non-numeric data in the fields of the tables
- ...
These problems make the applications, despite a escelente aspect, are not usable. Not working.
These applications listed on Add / Remove ... so hopefully be installed by a significant people amount. His popularity rating shows that.
I think it would be necessary to establish controls to ensure a minimal functionality of universe applications.
Thank you for the feedback. I must agree with the sentiment. Unfortunately, this is not actionable as a bug report, and so must be marked "Invalid". If you could please report all the things that don't work, we'll try to get them sorted. Also, if you have any ideas about how to determine if a given application works, I'd encourage you to define a specification for something like "only-ship- working- software" .
