I wondered how relevant using an ISO to try before buy was with VirtuaBox and VMware Player allowing virtual machines. I thought I'd be smart and see how long it took to install Debian onto VMware Player. It took 4 minutes to find and install VMNWare player and 8.5 minutes to install the Bullseye.iso and be at the command prompt
I then upgraded to unstable (sid) to time an installation Linuxcnc. This ended badly with broken dependencies: Depends: python3 (< 3.10) but 3.10.4-1 is to be installed Python versions in Debian versions are shown here: https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=python3 So until Linuxcnc-uspace migrates from Sid (unstable) to Bookworm (testing), all the hard work on getting it into Debian has been wasted. Unless we change the dependencies to allow Python3 > 3.9 Rod Webster *1300 896 832* +61 435 765 611 Vehicle Modifications Network www.vehiclemods.net.au On Fri, 1 Apr 2022 at 07:30, andy pugh <bodge...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, 31 Mar 2022 at 21:37, Rod Webster <r...@vehiclemods.net.au> wrote: > > > This also should simplify the release as there will be no reason to waste > > resources on building ISO's anymore. > > eg. 2.8 should be the last ISO released. > > > > I am not so sure about that, the ISO is useful to "try before you buy" > without committing to wiping the existing OS on the PC. > (And it isn't all that much effort) > > -- > atp > "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is > designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and > lunatics." > — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 > > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-developers mailing list > Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers > _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
