update support

[sven-pke]

Hello there,

Are there still updates for the used software/packages?

Best regards

[Doncuppjr]

What do you mean?

Since the last current version of Thinstation is from 2022, I am interested in whether the software will receive further updates, for example with regard to security or when newer versions of the individual subprograms e.g. the web browsers are released.

The project is no longer sponsored, so I have to spend my time elsewhere. Chrome is dynamic. It is cached, but if you run removeall and also clean out the /downloads, the next build will pull down whatever Google is hosting.

@Thinstation Is there a way to update CUPS? It would be very useful to upgrade from version https://github.com/apple/cups to version https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups.

[Thinstation]

Yes. Go upgrade it. It’s Linux.

I'm trying to put it all together, but unfortunately, something is not working out very well. At least, it cannot be started when the image is loaded. I took the source code from Arch Linux.
