Hi,
According to upstream web server, GNS3 current version is 2.2.11
https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-gui/releases/tag/v2.2.11

Therefore, current version in Mageia 7 is also in a nonfree repo but not found in Cauldron.

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might, if there are no license or other legal issues, want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You, Comral, might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager.

Yes, it looks as if gns3 has been dropped for Mageia 8; so a new package request looks a good way to get it back - up-to-date!
I notice that our package URL is wrong: http://www.gns3.net is dead, it is now https://www.gns3.com/

On https://www.gns3.com/marketplace/featured clicking on Terms of Use goes to
https://www.gns3.com/marketplace/featured which has as part of the terms

"User may not otherwise reproduce, sell, publish, distribute, modify, display, or use any Content or portion of this Website without the prior written permission of SolarWinds; "

That can not be added to our repositories, so closing as wontfix.

Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX

You are refering to the marketplace, not the source of the soft on github, see the above link

Resolution: WONTFIX => (none)
Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED

Comment 5 Dave Hodgins 2020-07-31 22:56:04 CEST
Ah. Thanks. Checking the source file, it has ...
GNS3 is released under the GPLv3 (see LICENSE) with the additional
exemption that compiling, linking, and/or using OpenSSL is allowed.

Hi,
Yes, it would be fantastic to have the last version of GNS3 on Mageia8 (gns3-gui & gns3-server)
