Thanks for your contribution. We are not ready to add these platforms yet. Please consult with us before opening pull requests which affect the release flow.

What do you mean you're not ready yet? This change has been tested in a Fedora installation without issues.

[ayumi-signal]

Regarding supported platforms, we validate releases on all supported OS'es (MacOS, Windows, Ubuntu) using automated and manual testing. Furthermore our build pipeline must be updated.

By specifically including Fedora then it is an implicit guarantee that the app is going to work as expected.

We want to make signal as universally available as possible, but we currently don't have developer bandwidth to do these steps, and when we're ready then we will take these steps.

I'm happy to help and improve testing if you can share the test suite for production releases. El vie, 6 sept 2024 a las 19:31, ayumi-signal ***@***.***>) escribió:
