Re: debian astro indi packages are outdated and some missing



So what determines what gets updated vs what doesn't?

Thanks

The indi package is a dependency of indi-* and the newest version of
indi is only in experimental. When it moves to unstable, I will prepare an
update of indi-*.
At the moment I see lots of merge requests all over the indi-* drivers.
So I also wanted to wait with new packages until the storm has calmed a
bit.

Svbony is not able to provide any license information with their SDK, so
Debian is not allowed to distrubte it. Sorry, there won't be a Debian
package at all.

The ZWO AM5 driver should be available after the update.

Yes, this is on my todo list, but upstream mixes everything together and
it is a bit demanding to entamgle everything again to create a proper
Debian package.
