Requesting Ultimaker Cura 4.12.1

#1 Post by KX5JT »

Requesting Ultimaker Cura 4.12.1 (latest debian version) to be packaged. Currently we have 4.8 (why it's a larger number I have no idea but the latest is 4.12.1 released in November. This program slices 3D files into g-code for use in 3D Printers.

The latest version in upstream Debian is 4.8, too: https://packages.debian.org/sid/source/cura

Even bleeding-edge distros like Arch don't have 4.12...https://repology.org/project/cura/versions

Alright thanks for checking. You know how it is, you get on a software/hardware forum for something and everyone is holding it up as the greatest thing since sliced bread (bad pun on what this does). Oh this new feature! Oh this new feature!

:) 4.8 works okay but 3D printing is moving FAST. Prices are low and it's a big wave of new users on board since Black Friday.

Thanks for that. Yep, seen it but all my settings and plugins are not going to be in it. I really should probably wait until an :popcorn: :popcorn: upgrade can be performed?

Are there any PPAs or otherwise debianized sources for the latest that we could port over?
