LMDE - Quanta Plus not in Deb repo. H2Install?

Postby Ashocka on Wed Mar 21, 2012 6:42 pm

Hi,

I really like Quanta Plus. I have gone over to LMDE from Ubuntu, but find that Quanta is not in the LMDE repo. http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=quanta. I'm just wondering about the ins and outs of mixing things up or requesting packages being added to LMDE.

Thanks
Geoff

Thanks a lot for pointing that out. Geez shame to see such a good app go the way of the dodo.

Thanks again.

Check out Kompozer or Bluegriffin.

Kompozer is in the Debian repos, Bluegriffin has a .deb you can download on the webpage.

Thanks for that. Haven't been doing much development for a few years so it may be time to find a new IDE. I found Quanta was the only one that really complied with W3C standards.

Maybe in the Mint repo, however upstream and in Debian kdeweddev is just a metapackage.

Code: Select all
$ apt-cache show kdewebdev
Package: kdewebdev
Version: 4:4.7.4-2
Installed-Size: 31
Maintainer: Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers <debian-qt-kde@lists.debian.org>
Architecture: all
Depends: kfilereplace (>= 4:4.7.4-2), kimagemapeditor (>= 4:4.7.4-2), klinkstatus (>= 4:4.7.4-2), kommander (>= 4:4.7.4-2)
Description-en: web development apps from the official KDE release
 This metapackage includes a collection of web development applications
 provided with the official release of KDE.
Homepage: http://kdewebdev.org/


apt-get install kdewebdev -s
The following extra packages will be installed:
kfilereplace kimagemapeditor klinkstatus kommander libkrossui4
The following NEW packages will be installed:
kdewebdev kfilereplace kimagemapeditor klinkstatus kommander libkrossui4
0 upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

Quanta was just another app that was left to die during kde3>kde4, along with guarddog, guidedog, and quite a few other packages.
