Comment 1 Lewis Smith 2023-01-23 19:42:03 CET

This is something hardly touched (the current version is 2y old), no evident packager, so assigning globally.

Comment 3 Herman Viaene 2023-01-31 15:09:59 CET

MGA8-64 MATE on Aver Aspire 5253
No installation issues
No wiki, no previous updates, so googled a little to find out what this is. Turms out to be a Javascript library, so I give the OK on clean install as with other developer's stuff.
