To an extent, 2.9.1 has already been released, but I have not made the
announcement yet as I was wanting to be able to offer RTAI debs too.

So far we have debs for uspace in linuxcnc.org/dists for Buster,
Bullseye and Bookworm.
There are also RTAI kernel debs and mesaflash debs  in /dists/ too.

There is an ISO image for amd64 and an image for Pi4 in linuxcnc.org/iso

Thanks to Rod for a lot of work on the infrastructure, and for
building the Pi image.
All the other debs have been built by hand by myself, because the
buildbot didn't seem to want to do it.

Steffen uploaded the new release to Debian Unstable today. That means
that it should be in Trixie. How (and if) we can get a bugfix version
into Debian is an unknown at the moment.

I will send out the release announcement on Sunday, after editing the
install instructions etc.
I still hope to build an RTAI deb.

However, whilst building a RIP for RTAI works fine, for some reason
the deb building system is broken for RTAI. This doesn't really make
sense (and most of the problems are with building docs under RTAI,
which makes even less sense. And trying to turn off docs makes things
worse). I can only assume that the build system for debs has bitrotted
while we haven't been building them on the buildbots.

I am going to start again from scratch this evening, as I have learned
a fair bit during the last couple of weeks of trying to build the RTAI
debs.

Note that I have been building and running RTAI RIP continually for
years, the problems are only in the deb build process.
