No forcing, because there is _existing_ support for using/testing _any_ non-mainline branch like joints_axes. The joints_axes branch (currently joints_axes13) can be installed using the buildbot for 'scratch' debs for numerous supported operating systems and architectures. Instructions are on the buildbot homepage: http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org Important updating notes are maintained in the LinuxCNC 'getting-started' guide in the 'updating-LinuxCNC' section. The link to html docs for scratch branches like joints_axesNN changes after every new set of commits. The scratch build docs can be found at: buildbot.linuxcnc.org/doc/ For example, from a recent build, the html docs start at: buildbot.linuxcnc.org/doc/scratch/v2.8.0...-axes13~12df108/html The updating-linuxcnc section is: buildbot.linuxcnc.org/doc/scratch/v2.8.0...dating-linuxcnc.html There are a number of 5axis kinematics modules available, a recent contribution implements 'Table-Rotary/Tilting 5 axis configurations.
