How about a copr build of scte-qt

[hgkamath]

I was hoping to create for my machine, notepad uniformity in a dual boot linux/windows system, so as to have identical app-name as well as touch/feel. I noticed that the notepad-clone alternatives are fragmented as leafpad/featherpad/notepad++/notepadqq etc There does not seem to be a cross-platform solution. scite-qt seems to be buildable cross-platform.

Copr is a fedora private repository system for packages not part of regular distribution. It has lesser packaging requirements than for the official regular distribution. Copr allows users to use the "dnf install" mechanism for install/uninstall. While it is possible to download/compile/make-install, it is desirable to rely on the repo installers.

There seem to have been some older attempts at making a copr build of scite-gtk https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/bhuztez/scite/ https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/area7/scite/

Do make a scite-qt package on copr. Perhaps there is something similar for other linux distributions.

Note that mneuroth's sciteqt doesn't depend on pure qscite but on a fork of it that converts its ScintillaEditBase to a QML derived version of it. This means that it can't easily depend on qscite.

I personally think that mneuroth's ScintillaEditBase should probably be named QuickScintillaEditBase and that it should be merged into qscite. Then released by qscite and then mneuroth's sciteqt should be renamed to sciteqml. Meanwhile other projects can depend on either QuickScintillaEditBase or ScintillaEditBase (which I think should be renamed to QScintillaEditBase) based on their needs (QtQuick or QtGui).
