Hi,

probably flatpak is a solution for you? Works flawless and is always up
to date. There is a snap, too,  just as up to date and just as
functional.

Betreff: Signal-desktop stopped working on Tumbleweed (rpms from obs

Hi there, 

Long story here: 
https://mastodon.social/@mfeilner/116843089570909210

My question: Signal Desktop just stopped working on my Tumbleweed,
suddenly, 
because Signal blocked my version (8.5) that comes from the network 
repository. It's from April. 

Now a commet on mastodon insinuates that the package isnt maintainted
anymore 
- 
Is that true? 
Can we help? 
How? 
Or do we have to switch to Appimage for this... ? 

Can anybody ping me to Ithod? 
https://build.opensuse.org/users/ithod

I'll try to write him... and I'll try to find out which versions Signal
still 
accepts. 

Thanks a lot!
