Nootka package needs update

[SeeLook]

Nootka version shipped with Ubuntu (1.2.0) is a bit obsolete and not fully compatible with Qt 5.6 (it compiles but some of functionality is broken).

Please, update it to the latest version (1.2.5). It has fix for that issue.

BTW, thank You a lot for packaging it for Ubuntu.

With respects

Hello Nootka developers, your application looks amazing, and your site on sourceforge mentions KDE, but I don't find your source code on KDE git. Are you part of the KDE community? If not, there in an incubator to get you onto the KDE infra and into community support.

It looks like your project would fit right into KDE-Edu [https://edu.kde.org/]. It would be lovely if you visited the incubator page at https://community.kde.org/Incubator and checked it out. We are very interested in providing software on all platforms as you are doing.

The Kubuntu developers would like to package and upload Nootka, but our packageset only covers KDE software. I'm not sure we can download and package sources from Sourceforge.

If you are not interested in affiliating with KDE, I guess your best bet would be to get your package sponsored by a Debian Developer which would allow it into the Ubuntu universe archive.

All the best,

Valorie, from the Kubuntu team

Thank You a lot for all hints and explanations.
For this moment I'm not ready to start incubating process, due to various affairs on my head. Maybe later.
For the present I will keep the app independent.

Regards for all KDE community.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

v1.4.5 is now the stable version

Closing this as Won't Fix because Nootka was just removed from the development release of Ubuntu (see Bug 1880630).
