We have the genealogy program Ancestris in the MX Test Repo for MX-19. Would it be possible to add it to MX-21 please?

Pobably it should be very easy, due to the fact that Ancestris is JAVA/JRE app

• https://docs.ancestris.org/books/user-g ... -ancestris

Also, here is official DEB of Ancestris 11 (latest stable release) for Debian:

• "ancestris_11-20211017.deb" - https://www.ancestris.org/compteur_dl.p ... 211017.deb

Packaging status on Repology:

• https://repology.org/project/ancestris/versions

N.B. As alternative to Ancestris, there is Gramps, which package in MX Repo should be updated too (from 5.1.3 to 5.1.4):

• https://repology.org/project/gramps/versions
• https://gramps-project.org/blog/2021/07 ... -released/

Is there any reason why this is not possible please?

I'll put it on my to-do list. You can use the deb from Ancestris or MX 19 in the meantime; being that it's Java means that it's quite MX version agnostic.

Many thanks; no urgency.
