Our high school has a couple gantry based CNC routers running version
2.5. From perusing the list, it seems like 2.8 is fairly stable even
though its not released. I've got a pendant and some other add-ons I
want to install. I'd rather put the effort into getting them working on
a new system than battling with the old one.
This would be a fresh install, on a new hard disk. If I run into issues
I need to be able to fall back quickly.
I'm comfortable with compiling from source if need be, but was hoping
that there is an ISO out there that I could use.
I installed in a VM for testing purposes going off
https://forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc/36413-linuxcnc-debian-9-stretch-uspace-2-7-to-2-8.
I ended up with 2.9 instead of 2.8. I can grab the 2.8 branch from git.
I don't have a specific need for 2.8 over 2.7. I want to avoid
installing 2.7 and having 2.8 come out soon after.
Are there any reasons I should not attempt 2.8?
Is there anything I can do to help nudge 2.8 along?
Thanks,
Andy
