Hello Randy,
We are currently actually looking at providing packages for other distributions, through the regular repositories of the distribution. However that means we have to work pieces of the software probe to comply to distribution standards. I cannot guarantee right now whether Debian will be provided, but this is something I would personally like to see.
For third party package maintainers and users willing to compile from source: What is the currently released version of the atlas-software-probe? HW probes seem to be running 5080. On the git repository we have the following tags: 2022 Sep 19: 5080 was tagged 2022 Nov 30: 5083 was tagged 2022 Dec 9: 5082 was tagged 2023 Feb 24: 5081 was tagged 2023 Feb 28: 5084 was tagged Is 5080 the current release, which HW probes are running, and the newer tags in the source code repository should be ignored? Is 5084 the current release, but HW probes are lagging behind? Why did we see decreasing versioning tags from November to February? Where can a third party package maintainer (or a user compiling from source) find authoritative information about what the latest atlas SW probe actually is? There is only a single branch in the git repository, which is master. However while the 5080 tag seems to be in the master branch, the newer tags are not, so I guess that means 5080 is indeed the last properly released version. But I really don't like to guess and I don't see how anyone not directly involved in the SW development of the probe would be able to package it considering the ambiguity in the source code repository. Thanks, Lukas
