Re: Linuxcnc now in Debian as a full package

Just a heads up for Gene: for when you upgrade one of your machines
(or replace disks). Linuxcnc is now a full package in Debian at least
on amd64 (and possibly on arm64).
It pulls in large amounts of dependencies, so I didn't install it myself
but apt-cache show linuxcnc should give you the details.
It might not be the weekly bleeding edge you seem happy to troubleshoot
but it might be good enough for a clean install. In that case, I'd
recommend a minimal text only install - without desktop initially - then
installing linuxcnc, then optionally installing a desktop using tasksel
to make sure that you get a usable minimum.
That would also give you a clean install base for troubleshooting :)
All the very best, as ever,

I am not a working for profit shop Andy, so a little blood now and then
from running master is tolerable. Updated 2-5 times a week from the
buildbot. I see myself as playing the part of the canary in a coal mine,
which has been pretty safe, 3 bugs reported in 20 years. Tells me these
guys are pretty good coders.
Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it. Take care, stay well and warm.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
