[solved] What happened to timeshift?

#1 Post by PsychoHermit »

Timeshift isn't in the testing repository, what happened to it? It's saved me from a reinstall a couple of times now and I'd really like to get it back.

Thanks,

Hello.

Migration status for timeshift (- to 23.12.1-1): BLOCKED: Rejected/violates migration policy/introduces a regression.

Issues preventing migration:
Updating timeshift would introduce bugs in testing:

It shouldn't be, unless you wanted it (I don't)

what DE are you using?

perhaps it came bundled with the DE, or was part of some metapackage you did install.
