I have a question (and there’s no wrong answer),
I am tracking cosmic-git on another distro and compiling it locally.
Though my daily driver at the moment is indeed cachy, and with new features being enabled (like focus follows cursor) which I see on the other installation, I wondered what the plan was with updates to Cosmic on Cachy. Do you plan to at intervals release updates or wait on Cosmic dev team to release a milestone pkg?
Oh, that distro must be on the bleeding edge concerning Cosmic s Dev Repo
Here s what I got from Cachy s Repo

Cachy s Dev team might come up with something in a near future @Danny_Barron
Guess that you must be compiling from this link @Danny_Barron
Unless that I m wrong.
Yes, that group of packages. I really just asked to know what the plan is on Cachy.
cachy will follow arch, i suppose
Wonder if these are in Cachy s Testing Repo by any chnce @Danny_Barron
But I never checked that
I would also think so @brikler
I’ll take a peek maybe later today 
I’m the curious sort and I don’t mind running bleeding software (bleeding edge that is), as long as I have alternatives.
Their was a time that I used to do that, but now allot less so ! lol
If i remember right the packages in cachy repo will be updated every monday. @ptr1337 can confirm
Oh, if so I didin t know that @inffy . Makes sense.
The stable packages, get updated as soon their is a new upstream release.
There are weekly cosmic-git packages available, those get compiled once a week at monday at 15:00.
