"indicator-keylock" still in MX Test Repo?

#1 Post by Teat_Nag »

When performing a new installation of MX 21.1, I found out that the indicator-keylock 3.1.1-0-mx21+1 is still in the MX Test Repo.
This application was updated in November of 2021 to be compatible with MX 21. It is also referred in section 4.7.9 of the latest manual to provide indications for Caps Lock and Num Lock.
Shouldn't it be at least in the Stable Repo or even in main one in order to be easily available?

The ! in the title is not a good look, it provides a harsh tone to your subject, might I suggest changing it to a ?

The test repo is for testing and feedback. If there is no feedback or insufficient positive feedback is received, the package will generally stay there. Are you offering to provide feedback?

I changed the exclamation mark for a question mark as you suggested. It was meant to be a simple reminder.

I certainly can give a very positive feedback because I am using this application on several different installations, desktop and laptop. It is very useful to indicate the status of the Caps Lock and Num Lock.
Since it is referred to in the manual, it should be easy to find because many peoples may not think of checking the Test Repo.

Regards.
