Meld file and folder difference app fixed

December 27, 2024 — BarryK

I received a message from Steve, that Meld, a file and folder difference GUI app, in the 'noarch' repository, installed via PKGget, does not work.

Yes, the PET has a path /usr/lib/python3.8, whereas Scarthgap has path /usr/lib/python3.11. However, Scarthgap has /usr/lib/python3 a symlink to python3.11, and PKGget will follow the symlink if the PET has files in /usr/lib/python3

Just checked Daedalus, it has /usr/lib/python3 which is a folder, not a symlink. Hmmm, presume the python will still find the Meld files.

I have fixed the PET, with /usr/lib/python3, so should be ok in both Scarthgap and Daedalus. Also bumped to the latest, version 3.22.2. Project homepage:

The new PET has been uploaded, but you will have to update the database in PKGget. Or get it direct:

...all dependencies are builtin.
