Hi Adam, When I needed to update tcpborphserver I just cloned the code for it from the repo (I think it was in the katcp codebase) and compiled it on the Roach. I think I had to remount the filesystem to make it writable but otherwise I remember it being fairly straightforward. Hope this helps, Glenn
