Can't extract new Linux update as it's not RAR?

Unread post by RascalUK »

Hey, might be me losing my marbles here but noticed at the end of Sorg's last update info that the Linux distro is now 7zipped die to Github file size restrictions.

Anyway, ran update.sh and when it got the Linux part at the end I got a message saying it couldn;t be extracted as it wasn't a rar file and the update finished, seemingly without doing anything to the Linux side of things.

I wasn't paying full attention but it certainly didn't seem to unzip anything? Is it just me?

☝️ Same. There seem to have been two subsequent updates close to each other (the former succeeding to update Main.rbf and SD-Installer alright), with the latter minutes after failing to extract the linux image.

Today my brain does not function properly as I do not understand what you mean.
Are you talking about github updates? Was there a total of 3 updates?
Looking at MiSTer updates and changelog I see:
one update to Linux and Main on the 25th
one update to Linux and Main today the 29th
Today's update mentions the change to 7zip. Are these 2 subsequent updates relative to today's post?
I must say that I am totally confused and will wait until the smoke dissipates before using the update script.

The updater script needs to be updated to deal with the new .7z format, the author of it is aware.
