OpenPlotter 3 roadmap

[ALROCHARARI]

Hi Sailoog,

all my OpenCPN versions on several systems, also Linux Mint,amd64, run in the Flatpak mode. I think that becomes the standard for OpenCPN and the plugins.

As you can see in the image, data from my GPS mouse works from the SignalK server. The Oesenc charts plugin for the usb plug also works. But therefore you need the beta plugins.

Not all the the apps are available. But with my  "hand" installed Debian Bullseye for the RPI extended with the OpenPlotter extra's. Every thing allready works !

Doing also a test with the Ubuntu Jammy Jelly. There the OpenPlotter add-ons does not work.

I'am using a Pi4 with 2 GB.

Regards,

Bram

- Flatpak is only the standard for arm64 and no Debian distributions. For the rest of Debian derivatives the recommended way is using PPA sources including armhf.

- There is not beta version of "oeSENC plugin", are you talking about the new "o-charts plugin"?

- Although an OpenPlotter 2 app could be forced and installed in OpenPlotter 3 it does not mean that it works. Everything must be revised and deeply tested before publishing.

- As I have told you many times OpenPlotter add-ons will never work in non LTS Ubuntu versions.

Hello,

I have now Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installed on my computer and would like to install OpenPlotter and all plugins.
When can I start with the alpha version?

I tried with Settings 2.9.1 then OpenCPN Installer 2.2.3 then tried to install OpenCPN 5.6.2.2~ubuntu18.04.1
I had following error: (Translated from French sorry)

Reading package lists...
Building the dependency tree...
Reading status information...
Some packages cannot be installed.  This can mean that you asked for the impossible or if you use the unstable distribution which some packages don't have yet been created or have not left incoming.  The following information should help you to resolve the situation:
