Flameshot nightly build version higher than stable in repo
Feature Description
Hi, much appreciate the Flameshot app.
Could you bump the nightly build's version (to be higher than stable repo)?
Use case problem:
I use Fedora 36 (Gnome 42 + Wayland) and install the Falmeshot by command dnf install flameshot
. But in the released Flameshot v11 version is a bug, that is solved in the nightly build. The fix is not released yet (I expect it would be in v12). Cause this bug, I install the nightly build version marked as 11.0.rc1
. And that cause the problem when I wanna install the upgrade of another packages through dnf upgrade
command. The package manager always wants upgrade the flameshot app to stable Flameshot v11.
I'd like suggest to rename the nightly builds to higher version than is already released as stable. I mean, now is stable v11.0
, that expected nightly builds would have v12.0.rc1
or v12.0.beta1
.
Before anything, I would like to suggest you to make dnf to ignore updating the package:

Worth discussing imho
Thank you and yes, I'm using dnf command with --exclude switcher dnf upgrade --exclude=flameshot
, writing --exclude with dnf upgrade
is annoying and boring, especially I have a newer flameshot version installed (nightly) than dnf offer...
I'm fine with this change. I encourage you to submit a PR for it.
