Hey guys, in case you have not noticed, there is a new paradigm for software distribution. It's called Debian Packaging! Sometimes I think I must be the only idiot out there installing linuxcnc from bookworm fairly regularly with: sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-uspace I for one will never bother with an ISO once Bookworm is released. Come to think of it, I've never used a Linuxcnc ISO since the migration to Python 3 broke everything I touched!
Why would we bother hosting our own ISO on slow servers and put our limited resources into building and maintaining said ISO's when the new paradigm is already with us right now? Why should we bother including other programs with linuxcnc distribution? This is just a distraction. Wouldn't a better approach be to add a nice little window of additional CNC resources in the CNC menu that lists third party programs available as Debian Packages (freecad is) and call a script to install them? The proviso would be the third party projects need to be in the Debian repos. Anyway, this is all a distraction until such times you have a buildbot that is at least generating Debian packages. Bullseye might be nice to have an ISO for but we've done without for over 12 months now.. @steffen, there is a script to install qtpyvcp dependencies in: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qtvcp/designer/install_script Its documented in QTplasmac, not sure if its mentioned elsewhere http://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/plasma/qtplasmac.html#qt-dependency Rod Webster *1300 896 832* +61 435 765 611 Vehicle Modifications Network www.vehiclemods.net.au On Wed, 30 Nov 2022 at 05:21, andy pugh <bodge...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, 29 Nov 2022 at 16:53, Steffen Möller <steffen_moel...@gmx.de> > wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > No need to watch this, really.
