Reception

Kannika was a flop at the box-office. Film historian Randor Guy wrote in 2011 that the film will be "Remembered for the melodious music, impressive cinematography and the interesting onscreen narration."[2]

gollark: What about security updates?
gollark: Someone would still have to go to every workspace and go "update-util" *every time* a dependency updates.
gollark: That's still quite problematic.
gollark: Ale32bit made cget, and that has important packages like potatOS, but it's not very widely adopted and I'm not sure if it handles dependencies well.
gollark: Just require semantic versioning.
