  • updating from like pre-covid era...

    From Android8675@1:103/705 to All on Wed May 6 07:53:33 2020
    So I moved right at the start of April and my board was pretty much down til about a week ago. I tired updating and completely borked my system.

    Is there an easy way to update, or I guess I should ask, what steps and in what order would you take to bring my board up to today's cvs build?

    For instance I'm noticing a lot of new .js apps that I haven't figured out, and when I updated my yesnobar's got broken amongst other things. I regressed to an older build and I'm just holding there for now, but I'm excited about the new stuff coming out. mouse support, whaaaaa?

    The development update instructions are here: http://wiki.synchro.net/install:dev

    Yup. Requires a supporting terminal, but it is using standard protocols, so it's not *just* a SyncTERM feature.
