Install current master 2.8

Hi,

i have to update to 2.8 or 2.9 because i want to use the gantry homing and the compensation for ballscrews because i have two 1600mm screws on my Y Axis and they have no linear diviation to each other.

I installed linuxcnc ccompletely new with the 2.7.14 wheezy iso. I went to synaptics and deactivated the 2.7 base from linuxcnc.org and activated both master files from buildbot.

Then i click refresh, but it still shows 2.7.14 as newest version.. now iam stuck and dont know what to do. Also i get a failure when i refresh "Release-Datei für archive.debian.org/debian-security/dists/wheezy/updates/Release ist abgelaufen"
it says something that debian release has expired..

It finally worked i checked only the files from buildbot and unchecked all other packages. But the new Master branch is 2.9. There is a 2.8 Version at scratch but i think thats not the latest ? Where can i get the latest stable version of 2.8 or is 2.9 also stable?

V2.8 has been quarantined off for final checking pending it becoming the release version when it will retire V 2.7 There is not much difference between 2.8 and 2.9 but V 2.9 is open for business for new features

any news about python-gtksourceview2 & python-vte dependencies
that has linuxcnc 2.8 ?
In debian buster python-gtksourceview2 & python-vte are not available as packages
so 2.8 cannot be installed and if you force install without these deps gmocappy does not works because it depends to python-gtksourceview2

That is not something in my sphere but I had no problems compiling V2.9 from source today.

Use the Stretch ISO instead, install the 2.7 uspace ISO then update to 2.8 from the Buildbot:

www.linuxcnc.org/downloads/

There seems to be an error on that page in regards to stretch, 2.7.0 in the title but talks about 2.8 in the description.

compiling has no problem installing has problem because has python-gtksourceview2,
python-vte deps and these packages does not exist in debian buster.
