Re: Cinnamon 4.8
Hi all
FYI - I have ubuntu nemo upload rights (ubuntu username fossfreedom)
from 20.04 and later - this is part of Ubuntu Budgie's packageset
where we also use nemo and related cinnamon packages. Unfortunately my
rights don't extend back to 18.04.
Happy to help out on anything 20.04 and later. Just shout.

I think is good do an SRU (already opened 2 month ago https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nemo/+bug/1903451) upload for ubuntu 18.04 (is also a LTS still supported) that fixes some crashes for other users. I tried to ask 2 time in irc without replies, if I remember good as one of maintainer in "Uploaders" is possible upload also in ubuntu (with DM or DD key), I never did a key (always contribute only on alioth and salsa git for years); @Norbert can you please do that nemo SRU upload? (if you can and want)

Settings from DE or another app is needed, taken another look to ubuntu language-selector but language packages seems different from debian and I have too low python esperience to adapt it fast (I did only few fixes with it time ago)
