While we’re having the hottest summer in years over here in the Netherlands I managed to squeeze out another update.
Nothing fancy, the usual. Again some ‘under the hood stuff’ to further improve stability. And support for the Allo Katana. Would be great if someone can test it and report back to me. Here’s the changelog:
FIX: reboot weekly schedule does not work
FIX: guessing wifi country code does not work
IMPROV: make installation of RoonBridge more robust
IMPROV: set reboot schedule on new install to ‘never’
IMPROV: bump Linux Kernel to 4.14.56
NEW: (preliminary) support for Allo’s Katana DAC HAT
remark: the ‘disable led’ option will arrive in the next version
As usual you can find the images on https://ropieee.org. I’ve also created a compressed image for those with small(ish) bandwidth.
@spockfish, one of my RoPieee devices has failed to update after waiting a few days and some extra manual reboots. I’ll re-flash this weekend, but here is the feedback if you are curious. The other six updated right away. Thanks, as always.
No. At least it should not. But I suspect this is a unit that hasn’t been reflashed for a long time.
So you’re running in this huge cache, and RoPieee is not clearing that one up. Obviously that’s a fix that I’m creating right now
The thing is, that over the past year RoPieee has been very stable. But updates are still fragile. So I’ve been working on a different setup, where updates are way smaller and we’re not facing the consequences if ArchLinux (which is the distro I’m using) comes with tons of updates. This under the hood work took a long time, but with this version that foundation is present. Soon I’ll ‘flip the switch’ and from then on update sets are smaller, and with that I also hope more reliable.
