[Pkg-electronics-devel] Update Arduino from 1.8.2 to 1.8.9

[Brian Holaday]

Package: arduino arduino-builder

Version: 2:1.0.5+dfsg2-4.1


Hello Carsten and Team,

Is there a way we can get an update into backports from 1.8.2 to 1.8.9
and/or work with the author in trying to fix up one package for Arduino. I
am finding that for now I manually install the latest version using the
command line.

Here is a script (getting started):

# Arduino (Free)
# Path: /usr/local/bin/arduino
sudo apt-get install avrdude
mkdir "$HOME/Arduino"
sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin/arduino
cd /usr/local/bin/arduino || exit
sudo wget "https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-1.8.9-linux64.tar.xz"
sudo mv arduino-1.8.9-linux64.tar.xz arduino-amd64.tar.xz
sudo tar xfJ arduino-amd64.tar.xz
sudo mv arduino-1.8.9/* /usr/local/bin/arduino/
./install.sh
sudo rm -rf arduino-1.8.9
sudo rm -rf arduino-1.8.9/ arduino-amd64.tar.xz

# Check Last Sudo User (Worst case the user needs to add themselves to the
group)
name=$(logname)
sudo usermod -a -G dialout "$name"
