Congratulations Andy for getting this released.
I know first hand how much work you have put in to get to this stage.
I decided after all the work I had done with Bookworm that I would
tackle the installers to make it easier for the release team to do
their job,
Little did I know that the release team was just you!
There will probably need to be some updates to the getting linuxcnc
docs and possibly also to the installers once the packages get to
trixie.
I think Steffen said that will take about 5 days.
If you can't get a bug fix version into Bookworm, it won't be the end
of the world as we will be able to set apt priorities to get updates
from trixie into our ISO
And as a first for the ISO and IMG files:
Ethercat and QTPYVCP users will be able to install the relevant
libraries from included repositories (QTPYVCP is not available for the
pi).
AMD64 users please consult the readme.md file in your home folder.
