Miro 2.5 Ubuntu packages coming soon!

The Miro 2.5 release had a couple of issues that affected users with large databases. We've been working on those issues and helping those people out for the last couple of days. This work culminated in a Miro 2.5.1 release.

Because I was working out issues with Miro 2.5 release and helping users work through issues (more on that in a future blog post), I haven't worked on the Ubuntu packaging yet. My current plan is to wait until Sunday (tomorrow) and do packages for Miro 2.5.1 skipping 2.5.

I apologize for not getting packages out sooner, but I:

  1. was busy fixing Miro 2.5 issues and helping users
  2. thought it'd be better to hold off until the Miro 2.5 issues were worked out
  3. discovered World of Warcraft

If for some reason I can't/don't push out packages on Sunday, I promise I will do them as soon as I can. I use Ubuntu, too, so this affects me as well as all of you.

If for some reason this isn't satisfactory and you want/need it sooner than I can provide, I encourage you to build your own Miro from source. There are instructions here.

Thanks for the update!

Greetings,

I would have appreciated a message on the getmiro.com website to inform Linux users, that the 2.5 version is not yet available.

The website still states that the 2.5 version is readily available for Ubuntu users.

That might raise some questions and does not look good for miro.

Nevertheless thanks you so much for your efforts.

Kind Regards
Christian

Christian: I've been doing the Ubuntu packaging for a couple of years now and I always do Ubuntu packages a few days after Windows and OSX packages.  I do 6 sets of packages.

I'm only one man.  If you want them faster, contributions are very welcome.

Three things:

  1. New comments get placed in a "draft" status and will NOT show up on the site until I explicitly approve it. Sometimes that happens within 24 hours.
  2. I reserve the right to reject/remove inappropriate comments.
  3. Sometimes I'll reply to a comment directly in email--so make sure your email address is correct.

If you can't for some reason post a comment, send me an email: willg at bluesock dot org.
