Package: scratch Version: 1.4.0.6~dfsg1-6.1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hi Miriam, Hi Jonas, First of all I did used 'scratch' ten years ago with my daughter and we really like it. My colleagues also did with their children. I tried today the version in unstable with a Wayland desktop and it looks very bad. Especialy against the online version. I would not consider showing the package in Debian to children nowadays. Upstream is still considering publishing again something for Linux but it does not seems to materialize. https://scratch.mit.edu/download > When will you have the Scratch app available for Linux? > > The Scratch app is currently not supported on Linux. > We are working with partners and the open-source community to determine > if there is a way we can support Linux in the future. Stay tuned! I haven't tested, but this looks like a more practical alternative https://flathub.org/en/apps/edu.mit.Scratch Moreover, from the interpretation of this PopCon graph; 'scratch' seems to be the only reason to keep the old 4.x 'squeak-vm' around https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=scratch+squeak-vm&show_installed=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1 squeak-vm has new 6.x releases that would be much more easier to maintain ... if there is a need. https://squeak.org/downloads/ Greetings Alexandre
