While Pino is busy packaging Krita 3.1.1 for Debian, you can easily run the latest Krita by getting the official appimages that I prepare myself. (Being the Krita maintainer and project lead.)
- irq-1 10y agoThanks for Krita! Chrome has its own deb repository -- maybe more active projects need this too. (Maybe there's a service to be had hosting and configuring repos?) I'm on Xubuntu 16.4 and I have 2.9.7 installed. I missed the entire year of developments. 16.10 has 2.9.11 released Feb 4th. 17.4 has 3.1.1 but won't be released for ~4 months. Maybe we should blame Ubuntu for 6 month release cycles, or me for not upgrading, but regardless of the cause, Krita users don't have the new version.
- jcastro 10y ago> we should blame Ubuntu for 6 month release cycles 16.04 and onward can now have apps decoupled from the OS release for apps that provide snaps, like Krita does. `snap install krita` will get you 3.1.1.
- irq-1 10y agoThanks! I noticed the /snap directory, but didn't know snap was installed and usable. Worked on 16.10 and I'll use this on 16.4 too.
- aiur3la 10y agoThank you, I was hoping to get an answer like this! I also noticed that 3.1.1 is available on ubuntu snap. At this point I am not sure if I should go with snap or appimage. Either way, it is great to get packages directly from the developers!
