Are there plans to upgrade the raspbian version? Seem to still be running the version based on buster which is EOL’ed and LTS is over. I noticed this from the switch to the archive repo in the latest release.

Thanks.

Hey Jimi!

We’re exploring our options in that direction. We’ve got to figure out if AmpliPi will work out-of-the-box on a newer raspbian version and then we have to figure out how to get that out to users if it does / once we change it so that it does, as our updater isn’t complex enough to handle a full OS upgrade. We’re also looking into rPi a/b boot partitioning to make our updates able to handle this case in the future, as well as make the updater and the system itself generally more robust.
