Gedit removed on 42130

General Discussion

Hello,

    On the release 42130, the 'gedit' application was removed:

    Removed packages:
         gedit                               44.2-79        
         gedit-plugins-gnome                 44.1-18  

    Do we have any explanation for that?
    Thanks in advance for your response.

Gedit has been replaced upstream in the gnome stack by gnome-text-editor and gedit has been a tricky thing to maintain for awhile on newer gnome versions so mostly a maintenance related removal.

You could use Flatpak to get a version for Gnome47. Plugins will be harder to find although it does come with many common ones.
