Things have happened with easyAPT. I went from version JUN2-2026-R6 (June 2, 2026 Revision 6) to JUN3-2026-R5 (June 3, 2026, Revision 5). Here’s what’s new in JUN3 (R5), known bugs, and what’s planned next.
One: An updating tool has been added to the menu powered fully by Github. It hasn’t been implemented yet, but it should test if .version in the repo matches the .version on placed on the device, and if it doesn’t (after user confirmation), it will move the .update.sh to the home directory and run it, which will remove all contents of the easyAPT directory, reclone the whole directory back onto the device, run “chmod +x *” (or chmod +x .) so all the scripts are executable, and remove itself from the home directory.
Two: The first 4 options may have bugs (I haven’t tested them fully yet), but I think they are ready for use. I know for sure that the last option works fine (obviously), but I want to add a line of code to it first.
Three: I can reuse the code from previous options into new ones, so some will get done way faster.
Four: All options when done, instead of going back to the menu, quit with a “No such file or directory” error. This is because it links to a nonexistent “easyAPTmenu.sh” file that I can’t make until the first script (easyAPT2.sh) is fully finished and bug checked.
I haven’t made an actual Github release yet or a README.md (these scripts simply aren’t ready yet), but I plan to soon.
