[Xastir] I'm back.. and I'm lost.

[Steve Rogers]

I use CVS and have latest version 2.0.7, not know what Linux Distro you are using, I offer what I do as I have middle age memory.

I google it ..example xastir " How to CVS Ubuntu 14.04" which leads me to the page the Xastir wiki page. Or try this:

https://xastir.org/index.php/Installation_Notes

Installation Notes - XastirWiki<https://xastir.org/index.php/Installation_Notes>
xastir.org
This page hosts user contributed installation guides and HowTo's for various operating systems and distributions.

The Xastir group has a wiki and besides this mail group offers alot info

the developers offer the most for APRS on Linux,BSD etc.

Been off the air with APRS for about five years (antenna reached out
and touched by a maple, which got trimmed back today and then new
hardware put up on the house).  I looked on xastir.org and saw that
compiling is probably the best way to go to get running again, but
wasn't sure which version to grab.  On a whim I looked in macports and
was able to build 2.0.4 easily, which I now have running to at least
prove things are working.

Where should I be grabbing the latest (and/or stable) source to
compile?  I see mention from Tom earlier in the month that 2.1.0 is
the current stable, but I don't see a tag for that when I'm looking at
the CVS tree, in fact if I choose the stable tag everything looks to
be three years old.  Or is 2.0.4 not too bad, and I should be fine
with it?

Sorry to be an old noob... maybe now that I've got something in the
air for APRS again I'll pay more attention to this list I've been
subscribed to for years :D
