Leafpad version 0.8.17 in Buster

December 19, 2019 — BarryK

Easy Pyro and Easy Buster have Leafpad text editor version 0.8.15. Puppy Forum member 'zygo' reports that it "allows only one search term" in the text search. He recommended bumping to version 0.8.17.

The 0.8.17 source is available from the project website:

http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/

...and 0.8.17 is stated to be the latest source.

However, 0.8.18.1 is available from here:

http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/leafpad/

I decided to use 0.8.17, and have compiled it in Easy Buster and created a PET. It will be in the next release. Haven't updated Leafpad in Easy Pyro.
