And I don't think he was being sarcastic. There aren't build instructions in the repo. For that matter, there aren't build instructions in a lot of repos. A lot of devs assume any random person is intimately familiar with the language and compilers enough to look a some code and know instantly what to do. Commercial GPL software tends to not post build instructions.

Some instructions for how to manually build kde apps is documented here: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involv...nt_environment
Otherwise, the commands will depend on whatever package manager your distro provides, assuming they have chosen to provide a package for it at all.

You're being sarcastic, aren't you? It's a way of installing 3rd party apps on Arch specifically. If it was already in official repo (or Flathub), Discover would show it as any other app. Besides most people use a tool to automate the AUR package build/install process and it's as simple as
Code:yay -S skanpage-git

Thanks. It would be useful for users that programmers explain the way their software must be installed.

Skanlite is old code with an old UI, none of which are up to modern standards. To redo the UI required untangling tons of backend code, and once that was done, it was simple to put the features themselves into a library. With that done, writing a new app was not hard at all--much easier than cleaning up the old one. The new one has a QtQuick-based UI too, which automatically enforces model-view separation to make the codebase more maintainable going forward. But it's not a weird UI; it's very desktop-centric. I think people will really like it. When I found out about it a few months ago, I gave it a quick compile and was really, really happy. I've completely replaced Skanlite with it already for my admittedly fairly minimal scanning needs, and have contributed a few very (very) minor patches. It may be an early alpha, but it's quite a high quality stable alpha if you ask me.
