XaraLX has been, sadly, quietly dropped from all Linux repos.
The path to this ending, was actually scripted during the earliest parts of it's story.
I have (quietly) followed some, who took to task, working at porting the Cairo rendering engine..., only to see them lose their drive, ambition, etc., as well.
Thinking it might have been a fair candidate for the KDE development team to consider, as a replacement for Karbon..., I had sent a pm to an admin at KDE dev forum, with no reply.
I had thought that since KDE took such an interest in Krita, some time back, and literally helped to raise it from the grave..., there may be some hope there for XaraLX, as KDE graphics is only missing a vector program.
Maybe, just maybe..., one last ditch effort? To send an actual email to an old friend. At least then perhaps, it might at least be mentioned among the KDE devs for consideration?
Then again, many "old friends" have seemed to have faded from various circles within the Linux community.
In writing this, I find myself thinking about some people. Wondering how they are doing... Perhaps it is time to send quite a few emails out.
7 years is a long time.
