[gentoo-user] How do you get newer version of Arduino?
Hi folks, I am playing around with my arduino board... I know there is an official package arduino, but that is way too old. So...where do you get the latest version? For example 1.8? Thanks in advance. Danny
Re: [gentoo-user] How do you get newer version of Arduino?
I think standard way is to create a new ebuild. I did that with the Plex overlay, trying to clean up the old version. If you do get it working, let the maintainers know, and they can update it officially... On May 2, 2017 08:38, "Danny YUE" wrote: Hi folks, I am playing around with my arduino board...

It's sometimes necessary to keep multiple versions of it around, and in some cases keep versions with mutually exclusive configurations.
