Description Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2021-03-13 22:47:43 UTC
Current version was released in 2010.

There appears to be a fork: https://repology.org/project/l3afpad/versions

lxde-gtk3-overlay has an (albeit very outdated) ebuild: https://github.com/rilian-la-te/lxde-gtk3-overlay/tree/master/app-editors/l3afpad
Comment 1 Nathan Zachary 2023-04-05 02:16:16 UTC
New repository for l3afpad (GTK3 fork of leafpad):
https://github.com/stevenhoneyman/l3afpad
Comment 2 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2023-04-20 18:45:09 UTC
Is this just 'fork me on github' or legitimate/officially sanctioned by the former l3afpad maintainer?
Comment 3 Nathan Zachary 2023-04-20 19:38:41 UTC
The original application (leafpad), which was created by Tarot Osuji hasn't been updated since 2010 and relies on GTK2.  The new version (l3afpad) was created by Steven Honeymann, and is the one that I linked.

ebuild

It is not my main editor, but I have been using l3afpad regularly since early March last year using the attached ebuild.

http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/leafpad/?C=M&O=D

A newer version has been release at the end of 2022 in december, verify URL.

The leafpad ebuild, references this particular URL http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/ has not been updated.

This is unrelated to the l3afpad ebuild.

I have opened a bug report requesting a version bump for leafpad https://bugs.gentoo.org/911656.

I have no preference, one over the other. leafpad and l3afpad work the same.
