Hi Jim, I have stayed clear of Kubuntu flavors on my Ham Radio box because of the potential headaches; I do like the environment and the tools it provides though.
Regarding Launchpad Builds: The Dev-Team provides *.deb files already and they get posted on Joe's site. The LP builds are more of a sanity check than anything as they are built by the Ubuntu Build Servers (the same servers that build their distributions) in a clean environment. Bottom line is, if a package builds properly on the Ubuntu Build Servers, then it should build on a users' workstation given the dependencies are met. The Trusty issue is probably known, and it's an accepted break in the builds for the sake of future development. Either way, its overcome by events and won't be an issue going forward. 73's Greg, KI7MT -----Original Message----- From: Jim Shorney <jshor...@inebraska.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2018 11:11 PM To: wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT-X v2.0.0 Build Failure: Ubuntu 14.04 via Bootstrap FWIW, I was on (Kubuntu) Trusty prior to the recent round of updates and RCs, but it was getting to the point where keeping all the dependencies up to current standards was a real chore as Trusty nears end of life. That prompted a move to Bionic and software joy has returned. I do appreciate your package builds Greg, and have used them often enough in the past. Lately I have been building from source just because I'm impatient. :) Thanks for all that you guys do. And if this old phart can learn to read instructions and build from source than there is no excuse for anyone to go off in a snit because the pieces don't snap into place automagically. :D 73 -Jim NU0C On Tue, 18 Dec 2018 21:52:55 -0700 "Greg Beam" <ki7m...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Bill, > > Source: https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx-2.0.0.tgz > > I finally got around to building WSJT-X v2.0.0 with Launchpad && local > pbuilder (Debian Bootstrap), but, I have run into an error that may > have been discussed already.
