Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Review the frontend repository's release process and the linked Void Linux package requirements; the request is complete when the frontend has a tagged public release that meets those requirements.

General Request

Your Request

With the split of projectM into libprojectM and a separate frontend, the frontend is no longer packaged as part of projectM.

For Void Linux, this means we will not have the frontend if we just upgrade to projectM 4.x. The frontend does not currently have tagged releases, and therefore does not yet meet the package requirements for inclusion into our repository.

Software need to be used in version announced by authors as ready to use by the general public - usually called releases. Betas, arbitrary VCS revisions, templates using tip of development branch taken at build time and releases created by the package maintainer won't be accepted.

If the goal is to mature the project before beginning to tag releases, that's fine. I appreciate your time! Thank you.
