Mark I also only ever run from the master. I dont use the buildbot since I found it to be unreliable some time ago. It might have bee fixed by now but it is not my preferred method. I dont usually install from git unless it is a special case to test. Hence my request to Seb to get the new stuff into the master so that more of us can get to test it.
But I do understand the guru issue although I think it is more of a problem because people are historically scared of linux. There's an old saying "Nothing ventured nothing gained". It is not as hard as what you think once you get to know it. We are never to old to learn and learning is the only resistance to getting senile. :) On 2014-04-03 22:07, Mark Tucker wrote: > Marius > > You have missed the point. > I also run master from the git repository. > But master fom the buildbot does not work correctly for me (wrong keys > when updating). > Which means i had to install from git and as steve said only the linux > adept can get it. > It is a case of "oh load that version from here,but if you want that > particular part to work you have to load it from another place." > "Oh and that place is a git to get it from" > > > On 03/04/14 20:31, Marius Liebenberg wrote: >> Mark >> Use the git method to install and compile the master branch.
