Bug#927329: Update Arduino from 1.8.2 to 1.8.9

Should the ant script be modified to do this? I'm also no Java expert either, any help is welcome :) The good news is that 1.8.9 (and the upcoming 1.8.10) builds from source without issue after removing the pre-built gcc and avr binaries. It still uploaded a blink sketch, so hopefully I removed the pre-built binaries correctly :D Next step, I think, is to bring everything into the debian package framework. I'll let you know if I make any progress, there.

Bug#927329: Update Arduino from 1.8.2 to 1.8.9
@Rock Thanks for the update. My earlier attempt was with packaging the binaries, which is a no-no, I take it? I made an attempt from scratch last night, actually, after looking at the previous patches. I’ll continue with it, but it will be slow going as I am not a Java dev by trade.

Bug#927329: [Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#927329: Update Arduino from 1.8.2 to 1.8.9
Hi Rock, I'd be happy to contribute if you have a suggestion of what best to contribute? I'd made a first attempt at an updated package as my first package creation ever and got fairly far before I ran out of time. I can continue that effort in parallel, perhaps this weekend, and provide updates to you, but I'd prefer to follow your direction of what sub-tasks I could do for you.

Bug#780706: progress elsewhere
Hi All, Great to see all the progress being made over in salsa. I sent a request to join the project as I can do some testing and possibly some bug fixing / maintenance help. Have you all seen https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=923220 ? The reported provided a script to automatically create a .deb package from the .tar.xz on arduino.cc Best regards, Kashif On Wed, 21 Mar 2018 17:06:01 +0100 Geert Stappers wrote: > On Wed, Mar 21, 2018 at 12:27:15PM -0300, Ignacio Losiggio wrote: > > Before all this work i need to get running the package.

Bug#923220: ITP: arduino-package -- Utility for creating Arduino Debian packages
Hello Phillip, For what it is worth, I was able to clone from your git repo, build the application, and create a .deb for Arduino IDE 1.8.8 without issue. Is there any chance that you could import that repo into salsa.debian.org so that the folks at https://salsa.debian.org/electronics-team/arduino can take a look?
