Hey guys, in case you have not noticed, there is a new paradigm for
software distribution. It's called Debian Packaging!
Sometimes I think I must be the only idiot out there installing linuxcnc
from bookworm fairly regularly with:
sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-uspace
I for one will never bother with an ISO once Bookworm is released. Come to
think of it, I've never used a Linuxcnc ISO since the migration to Python 3
broke everything I touched!
Why would we bother hosting our own ISO on slow servers and put our limited
resources into building and maintaining said ISO's when the new paradigm is
already with us right now?
Why should we bother including other programs with linuxcnc distribution?
This is just a distraction.
Maybe it helps to clarify that except some compute time there is not too
much of an overhead on the software side the .iso is just with the command
lb build
and some 10 to 30 (?) minutes later the .iso is available and can also
be auto-moved somewhere. All the efforts that go into it should be in
sync with the Debian packaging (and thus also improve the Debian
experience). I am not exactly sure about what other kind of symbioses we
find between parts of our LinuxCNC community and any such .iso, but the
number of potential contributors is higher than it would be for the
development of LinuxCNC itself, I am sure..
Best,
Steffen
