One last look at V5 before it goes out the door! V5 can be installed using either pip, or the usual package installers.
*Pip* For pip installs, please delete your old virtual environment, then install from scratch by following the pip install instructions <https://weewx.com/docs/5.0/quickstarts/pip/>. While upgrading should work, we are particularly interested in the experience of a new install, including setting up a daemon and udev files. Make sure to follow the new instructions that use a daemon setup script. *Debian* For Debian package installs, modify /etc/apt/sources.list as follows: *echo "deb [arch=all] https://weewx.com/apt-test/python3 <https://weewx.com/apt-test/python3> buster main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list* Note the "apt-test". This tells apt to look there for the beta release, instead of the normal repository. You may want to change it back when you're done. Otherwise, follow the Debian install instructions <https://weewx.com/docs/5.0/quickstarts/debian/>. *Red Hat* For Red Hat package installs, put this in /etc/yum.repos.d/weewx.repo *[weewx] name=weewx baseurl=http://weewx.com/yum-test/weewx/el9 <http://weewx.com/yum-test/weewx/el9> enabled=1* Note the "yum-test". This tells yum to look there for the beta release, instead of the normal repository. Again, you may want to change things back when you're done. Otherwise, follow the Redhat install instructions <https://weewx.com/docs/5.0/quickstarts/redhat/>. *What we're looking for* 1. We are interested in your upgrade experience. Did the installers get your configuration file right? Skins? Is the daemon configured correctly? 2. With this release, we have included udev rules to set the correct permissions for devices. Did it work? If not, did unplugging then replugging the device work? 3. How about logging? Is it going to your system logger? Do the labels look reasonable? *Thanks!* -Tom & Matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
