Problem with Linux mint 20.

[Michelolt]

Portabase no longer works on Linux mint 20. Also no longer available in the repositories of mint 20 and Ubuntu 20. A serious problem for a long time user like me. I have had to install wine and use the windows version. Can portabase Deb be updated?

It was apparently removed from Debian a while ago for still using Qt 4 (the Qt 5 port was essentially finished at the time, but I hadn't made time to finish a new release and didn't get notified that the removal would happen). The code on master is nearly ready for a new release, I think I just need to track down a problem with the Android port. I'm struggling to make time to finish the release while taking care of a young child, but you can build it yourself in the meantime following the instructions in https://github.com/jmbowman/portabase/blob/master/doc/install_linux.txt .

I've already talked to the developer who had previously handled PortaBase maintenance in Debian, and he's tentatively up for adding it back once the new release is finished. But as I noted above, that's probably going to take a little longer than I would like.
