Helix editor on Fedora

[blinxen]

I am in the process of packaging the helix editor for Fedora and I should be done in the next couple of days (maybe a week or two). My question here before I release 23.05 is, will there be a new release soon? Or are you going to stick with 23.05 for a while?

I have not used helix until now but it looks very promising! Keep up the good work!!

(I hope this is the right communication canal to ask this kind of question)

Hi, for informal discussionr you are also welcome to join our matrix channel but GH discussions are just fine too.

If everything goes to plan we hope to cut a new release in the next couple days (or even this weekend) so it may make sense to wait until then. You could get started with the master branch. I don't think we will merge much (except for #8396) so you could start packing the master branch for now and transition to the release with minimal effort as soon as its available.

A couple maintainers (including myself) use fedora so its great to see an official package!

Just joined the matrix channel, did not know you had one :D

By the way there was another Fedora maintainer mentioning intent to package here: #8383

Already spoke with him, he is not a Fedora maintainer yet but when he gets sponsored into one, he will help me with the maintenance.
