As we're rolling out the latest UHD release (3.9.2), we're also moving the Ubuntu .debs we provide as binary installers to Launchpad.
You can now find the debs, and instructions on how to install them, here: https://launchpad.net/~ettusresearch/+archive/ubuntu/uhd Once you've added the UHD PPA, you will be able to update to the latest release image simply by using apt-get upgrade, or whatever your preferred tool is. While we believe this'll make things much easier for Ubuntu users, there are some changes: - We've matched the package structure to that in Debian. So instead of the one monolithic deb, we have split it into 3 separate packages (libuhd003, uhd-host, and libuhd-dev). This allows you to install only components that you require, but it also allows a clean and easy upgrade from current Ubuntu packages. - FPGA images are not included in the .debs, but require uhd_images_downloader. - Support for more distros was added. All currently supported Ubuntu releases (supported by Canonical, that is) are now available. - Upgrading is now easier (apt-get upgrade), but you need to manually uninstall old uhd packages if you were using prebuilt binaries before. Big thanks to Maitland Bottoms for his help with understanding the .deb ecosystem, and his packaging efforts for mainline Debian (and thus Ubuntu). His tremendous help allowed us to move to this PPA-based solution quite easily, and gave us a good structure on how to deploy packages. Anyone who's used pre-built packages on Ubuntu or Debian has most likely used packages that Maitland made.
