Full release files for 1.4.3+

[StudentSA]

Good Day,

Where can I find assets *-full.tar.gz for releases 1.4.3 and 1.4.4? Using the "full" asset is the recommended way when installing from source according to the documentation.

Thanks

I think we stopped providing those because it was a lot of (useless) work: the currently recommended way of installing is via opam (or your package manager).

[StudentSA]

I've been using the full packages for a long time as I found it is the best way to install on a Raspberry Pi with the least overhead.

What is the recommend way to install latest version on Raspbian OS?

[smimram]

If I remember correctly, Raspbian is a derivative of Debian, so that

sudo apt-get install liquidsoap

should do the job, isn't it?

[jonathanstowe]

It does the job but gets v1.3.3 if a newer one is important.

@jonathanstowe have you tried installing using opam?

See here: https://www.liquidsoap.info/doc-dev/install.html

[jonathanstowe]

yeah, I use opam most places, I was just pointing out the packaged version on Raspian is not quite as up-to-date as all that.

[jonathanstowe]

It would appear that the default packaged opam on Raspbian will only get you v1.3.7 because the default ocaml is too old for anything more recent, however if you upgrade the opam using the "Binary distribution" instructions at https://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Install.html#Binary-distribution then you can bring it up to v1.4.4 with

opam upgrade --unlock-base liquidsoap

which will take a while because it will need to upgrade the ocaml and all the libraries.

[StudentSA]

Any chance to consider releasing the *-full.tar.gz once in awhile?

Hi @StudentSA. Have you tried to install our custom debian packages? I believe the arm64 package should work for rasberrypi.. Here's the link for 1.4.4: https://github.com/savonet/liquidsoap/releases/tag/v1.4.4

Otherwise I would suggest to look at a docker image, here for instance: https://github.com/PhasecoreX/docker-liquidsoap

I have tired it but get the errors shown below. I've been installing liquidsoap from version 1.1.1 circa 2017 using the full packages as this has been the easiest way that works without issue. I have tried opam before but as mentioned above it poses many challenges on the pi with opam dependancies. Im not a fan of docker on the pi due to the overhead of it.

Is it possible to advise how I can compose a *-full.tar.gz package on my side? Can I take one of the older ones and copy/overwrite the new source into it?
