5.8 or 5.8.1 not listed

[eitch]

Could a release be made? I can't build it on my machine due to dependency problems. Thanks a lot.

I think the app needs better logging and reporting of what's going on while downloading the files to build this list.

It's working fine for me. I have 5.8 and 5.8.1, so I have nothing obvious to fix, except general robustness, better error detection and tracking, retries, and reporting.

Occasionally the list doesn't refresh, or doesn't refresh completely, and usually the problem is just the http downloads failing because of random transient internet/host failures. If we showed the process more, I bet it would show in this case that it failed to download the main index, or failed to connect to kernel.ubuntu.org at all, etc, then it could at least know that, retry x times, and at the end somehow indicate that the list is incomplete and only shows your local cache, or that some downloads worked and some didn't, etc.

fwiw, i also had the same issue using the last release (5.8.* not visible), a trunk compile which included #51 resolved.

@kapilt thanks for the heads up. It's(master) working for me too, hence closing.

Same, only showing up to 5.7.1 still.

Edit: I went ahead and uninstalled the deb and then reinstalled from the PPA repo. Working now.

+1. I have the same issue. If latest master works would it be possible to do a new release @bkw777? Thanks!
