The debian archive at www.linuxcnc.org has the official released versions of LinuxCNC, plus some extra packages that are needed to build and run newer versions of LinuxCNC on older platforms, plus some extra optional utilities like true-type-tracer. buildbot.linuxcnc.org is our Continuous Integration server - any time any developer makes any change to LinuxCNC, the buildbot compiles and tests it, and if it works, it packages the results up and makes it available in the buildbot debian archive. So you can think of the buildbot as a preview of what the next official versions of LinuxCNC will be, both for the master branch (what will become 2.6.0) and for the 2.5 branch (what just became 2.5.2, and will become 2.5.3 in time). Running buildbot debs is sometimes less stable than the official release debs from www.linuxcnc.org, especially in the un-released master (aka 2.6) branch. In the 2.5 branch, the buildbot debs should generally be about as stable as the official releases, and sometimes more stable (as bugfixes are committed to the 2.5 branch and built by the buildbot, but not officially released yet). Running buildbot debs and reporting bugs you find is a valuable way to provide feedback to the developers about the status of the software before release. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
