Latest APT version (1.6.1) far behind Git repo

[creeper6530]

Please, would you release a new version with all the improvements from the Git version? I'd especially like to have journald awareness, but I can't install anything other than via APT

Yes, please. Another vote to up the apt for debian bookworm.

Hi all,

Since people request for a new release, I need to adapt the project state to the new need.
Since I'm busy with other stuff, I do less computer/coding. And I don't have raspberry with sd cart anymore (only ssd) with log2ram.

What I propose, I will make a beta release for log2ram, and propose a vote ? / feedback ? on it.
If (let's say) five peoples approve the beta, I will merge to stable one week later.

What do you think ?
I want to avoid a new xz problem.

Az

Thankyou Az, that would be super!

I'd be happy to undertake testing. Is there a changelog so we know where to focus the testing efforts?

It's a shame XZ has made it that potentially fewer trustworthy maintainers would be considered :(

Let's test the new version with https://github.com/azlux/log2ram/releases/tag/1.7b1 available in testing (sid) codename

I'm happy to report no major issues!

The only minor issue I found was that the Ansible playbook needed updating:
(Pull Request 225)

Other than that, all working well for me.

Tested install methods:

• install.sh

Hi Az,

With the new beta needing testers, do you think it might be a good idea to make a post on Reddit (r/raspberry_pi?) requesting as such?

I'd be happy to compose the Reddit post. Though I understand you're currently on holiday so maybe not this week.

Cheers,
Adam
