Ubuntu 26.04 is out today!

I downloaded a pre-release of Xubuntu 26.04 back in January and started
to work on pilot-link and jpilot. The OS packages were moving fast and
that was a little early! I waited until things cooled off and started
working on it again in late March and April. The good news is that I
have pilot-link and j-pilot both building binaries and debian packages.
Periodically I have gone back to Xubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 to see what I
broke and I usually find things. The current state is that I know
j-pilot and pilot-link builds in 22.04 and 26.04 and with very few
warnings now. I'll get to 24.04 soon.

I debated uploading it to packagecloud just so I could say I had the
packages out on launch day, but I backed away from that. My changes are
pretty big and I need to go through them again to make sure things look
good. I need to coordinate with David Desrosiers (the maintainer of
pilot-link) on accepting my changes. J-Pilot and pilot-link need to be
tested, mostly pilot-link because it had more drastic changes.

I can use help reviewing the code. I can use help testing. I do not
have a working Palm at the moment and its possible I broke pilot-link.
I could upload the packages to the website or somewhere if someone wants
to test it. As usual, there is no obligation. I'll get through it.

I used the latest J-Pilot version from the master branch (870eef8) since a
few weeks ago and it looks good. I start J-Pilot on a daily basis.

I also updated the Arch Linux AUR package and people came with some
problems regarding building, see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jpilot,
but nothing major. Besides that, nothing.

Hi all,

as you know, I had / have a Palm Treo 650 / 680 in my daily use and I did some bugfixes to pilot-link and a few to J-Pilot.
There are severe bugs in pilot-link and its CLI tool x-fer which make it impossible to sync files, also in conjunction with J-Pilot.
The biggest problem is, that pilot-link was created, as C int values were defined as 16 bit and long int as 32 bit.
I have tested my fixes with my devices, and they work. They are published as pull requests on the project sites of pilot-link and J-Pilot.
I would be happy, if you could integrate them.
I also can offer to test your changes with my real devices.

Is it possible to install jpilot without building from source?

I tried to install the latest binary package, but hit a problem with the
second of the following two commands:

curl -s
https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/judd/jpilot/script.deb.sh|
sudo bash sudo apt install jpilot jpilot-plugins

Error: unable to locate package jpilot

Error: unable to locate package jpilot-plugins

Presumably this is looking for something that's been prebuilt for 26.04?

Hi Richard,

after running the curl command you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/judd_jpilot.list and replace 'resolute' by 'noble' or vice versa.
Give it a try and give us feedback.
