That's 5 years since the last update. Wheezy was first released in 2013 and went out of Long Term Support in 2018. https://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/ Jessie also went out of support in 2018: https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/ Stretch has LTS until next year: https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/ LinuxCNC support is summarised in this table : http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MinimumSoftwareVersions (Look at the bottom row: Master is supported on Stretch, Buster and Focal) This isn't an arbitrary decision, it is a considerable effort to support such a wide range of software versions and has required us to compile and back-port several packages that LinuxCNC relies on via our own repository, but that is not tenable going forwards into Python3 and GTK3. -- 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-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
