Last release of comix in 2009. Last release of mcomix in 2016. Their GTK3 branch seems out of sync with master, upstream does not answer: https://sourceforge.net/p/mcomix/git/merge-requests/7/ There is a fork of mcomix gtk3 branch that Fedora is now packaging instead: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mcomix3 https://github.com/multiSnow/mcomix3
Bernard, are you interested to pick up the fork?
Sure, I can help for mcomix (comix itself can be last-rited) With recent changes merged upstream [0] to correctly migrate preferences and bookmarks, we can safely "bump" mcomix to a snapshot of the forked version (Debian also uses same upstream now). A few changes to the live ebuild [1] I use in my overlay should do it I will work on such bump and add myself to maintainers when pushing it [0] https://github.com/multiSnow/mcomix3/commit/79c004d5d8e1f49a12dd1e9056d1a4241ec1c3b4 [1] https://cafarelli.fr/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/voyageur-overlay/tree/media-gfx/mcomix3/mcomix3-9999.ebuild
