linuxcncn-uspace 1:2.9 pre0 on mint repo -> update

For shorter reading...

In these post describe a little adventure: work from long time over a 4.19 rt3 Mint19.3 SO, with install a Lcnc2.9 pre0 as .deb ... these .deb was created when Lcnc2.9 was not master, these because some new features at that time, 2020 .... now need to update at master Lcnc2.9 for some bug over old version .... but from 2020 and 2023 more python3 is needed so was difficult ... so  during build after ./configure command ... make command fails for yapps module, when module was really installed ... find a thread on github that help a lot and solve the issue: where not know need to install ...

now that SO have a success running test. After the original post.

after these need to install debhelper >= 12.2 plus dwz and libhelper-perl ... find version 13.6.1 for all ...

Hi at all,

i check I have install on mint 19.03 ubuntu repo linuxcnc-uspace1:2.9 pre0 .... there are a way to upgrade to more new version with switchkins withouth change SO (better with application center .... so no other folder would be change). I upgrade mint 19 to last version possible .... After need to change SO and would not if possible ....

Regards

If you follow the methods described in the 2.9 Getting started docs to set up  your apt environment correctly, you should be able to upgrade to the latest version of 2.9 at any time by typing

I know these but seems for tricia there is not upgrde about linuxcnc ... so ask for a similar solution .... I have more then one install but default is linuxcnc-uspace 1:2.9 pre0 ... So I would update for example to a fork by me dgarret branche .... because actual master may be need too mutch upgrade to my actual software ...

I can run these branche as rip-install .... but think is better if can overwrite to actual installation .... 2.9 pre0 and these branche is very similar ....
 

But I have jet a running version installed (no rip-environment) .... and would only "update" these one if possible .... without touch any other SO folder ....


I see now, not After Sorry, 2.9 pre0 was master branches .... So my problema Is I have a pre0 2.9 install that not have switchkins end new kinematics modules ..... Just check ..... Maybe a versione 2.9 pre0 release ad not master One? Maybe because It Is install from 2020 ... Not Remember if master or not ..... Any how actual master can become and upgrade of old One on Linux Mint 19 and 4.19 rtpreempt kernel? Or Need to upgrade SO?

regards

The other option is to download the latest deb (for 2.9 or 2.10) from the buildbot  and install with dpkg -i
buildbot2.highlab.com/

I used to do this until I worked out the apt pinning  to automate it.
I always ran apt remove linuxcnnc-uspace before installing it this way.

I learned somethings of new today .... thanks never see buildbot sites ....

Shhh, its a secret! didn't you read the title?  image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/laughing.png
This is set up to be a repository so it is possible to set up apt to give this site a higher priority over the debian repository.
This is covered in the getting linuxcnc docs for 2.9
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/getting-start...an_bookworm_x86_only
But its all done for you in my latest ISO which is stickied on the installing linuxcnc section. This should be the final  ISO that will be used for the 2.9.1 release which is pending.
