amtm AMTM Beta Installs

[routersecskisthedude]

How can I configure amtm to install beta versions of software?

 

[ColinTaylor]

You can't. That is beyond the scope of amtm. You'd have to look at the options/documentation available within the addons themselves.

Some addons coders have posted the instructions for installing beta versions in the forums before. This an example for spdMerlin:

/usr/sbin/curl -fsL --retry 3 "https://jackyaz.io/spdMe
rlin/develop/install/spdmerlin.sh" -o /jffs/scripts/spdmerlin && chmod 0755 /jff
s/scripts/spdmerlin && /jffs/scripts/spdmerlin install

@ColinTaylor is for the most part correct. There are very few scripts that have hooks for AMTM to check for beta versions. I think my script is one of the exceptions because I have created hooks to check for beta version's of AdGuardHome. AdGuardHome is an exception to the rule because it is in a continuous development state. There are ongoing edge and beta releases nightly and weekly. To get the latest fixes users have to be ready to switch between versions. Otherwise, I do not believe AMTM runs beta checks. In-fact @thelonelycoder usually provides code which needs minimal tweaking, and he is the one around to push fixes when necessary. With the exception of the developers you see active all the time, all these other "developers" have left the scene. The beta version exist for them when users push fixes or changes to their repositories because they use to run their own beta cycles before releasing their code. If you have found a "bug" or a "glitch" that needs the immediate attention of @thelonelycoder I'd recommed starting a thread about the issue. Or if it is a feature request you want i'd recommend a thread for that as well. Just ping @thelonelycoder if you want him to provide immediate attention when it is convient for him. As for me and the scripts I maintain in AMTM, I have worked closely with @thelonelycoder to ensure there was a check for beta updates with my installs. @thelonelycoder is flexible, and typically helps enhance AMTM for users ease of use. He is generally very busy, but is active here more than most developers. Give him time, I am sure if your request is popular, and helps all AMTM users he can devise something when he has the time, but this may be dependent on the help of other developers providing @thelonelycoder with adequate hooks needed to perform beta checks.

I‘ll alert @thelonelycoder in case he didn‘t see the notifcation

I’ll send him a message too. Must be something very urgent.

@thelonelycoder do you think he saw? I am alittle concerned he might have overlooked it.
