I have an older laptop which is running MX-21 32 bit.  It is a Debian based distribution, but I can't find JPilot in the repository.Do I need to compile from source or is there an easier option?  I used to use JPilot on XUbuntu on this laptop, but they dropped 32-bit support.  Thank you, Jeff

Check here:

https://linuxappfinder.com/package/jpilot.

I use jpilot/oldstable,now 1.8.2-2 amd64 from the Devuan repositories.

Don't like how the next version looks on my screen.
Can't see any advantages to it, this one works exactly as intended.

As it always has.  8^ )

Now, if it had a plug-in to sync to my Blackberry Curve ...

Best,

It shouldn't be that hard to compile from source.
