I have no plans to. But I'll think about it.Will you eventually add back nightly build support, now that most people are on Luma 8.1.1 or 9.0?
I'd love it to make a comeback, because updating nightlies now requires a PC and is very tedious.I have no plans to. But I'll think about it.
Yeah, I get it. It's just that the hourlies/nightlies left a bad taste in my mouth after the v7.1 to v8.0 update. I'll think about it.I'd love it to make a comeback, because updating nightlies now requires a PC and is very tedious.
Thanks, and amazing work by the way!Yeah, I get it. It's just that the hourlies/nightlies left a bad taste in my mouth after the v7.1 to 8.0 update. I'll think about it.
I mean, there's a reason as to why they're nightlies and not stable releases.Yeah, I get it. It's just that the hourlies/nightlies left a bad taste in my mouth after the v7.1 to v8.0 update. I'll think about it.
Well, even the stable releases caused issues because people didn't read/know to update to b9s v1.2 and then claimed that the app bricked their device.I mean, there's a reason as to why they're nightlies and not stable releases.
I thought that was the whole reason they were removed; instability. Why have them if they can potentially cause more issues for regular users than they solve compared to stable releases? IMO if you want nightlies you should download them manually. At least then if you found them yourself you're probably seasoned enough to know to use your backup if something goes wrong versus making a new thread "Luma updater bricked my console!"I mean, there's a reason as to why they're nightlies and not stable releases.
Well, that's an issue with those people and nobody else.Well, even the stable releases caused issues because people didn't read/know to update to b9s v1.2 and then claimed that the app bricked their device.
Not quite. Updating manually to every single nightly if you're into that sort of thing is tedious. Hell, the whole reason why I even bothered writing updaters in the past was to prevent myself from having to transfer the files manually. If you don't want nightlies, don't use them. I wouldn't have removed the option. At most, I'd have hidden it and make it show up or not through a config file.I thought that was the whole reason they were removed; instability.

Should I do a compromise instead? Give out a special version of the app only to those who want to download the hourlies and not provide the download link to the public to prevent noobs from getting a hold of it and using it?Not quite.

Eh, wouldn't it be simpler to check for the existence of some file and enable or disable the option depending on that? That's what I used to do with Corbenik Updater.Should I do a compromise instead?

Right.... They SHOULD be tedious to download because they aren't stable. If a new commit had a new feature you are impatient for, you should definitely have to find it/compile it yourself to avoid the blame game from noobs. That's all I'm saying. To most people around here causation = correlation so they can literally restore a bad NAND dump, Press "b" after booting and claim their "B" button bricked their console. I still think nightlies should be reserved for people that would know how to compile them if they weren't already supplied. I mean when the nightly versions have bugs what's the solution; use the stable one. Honestly to each their own but through observation on here it's evident people don't know what to do when something goes wrong, even if they have a backup. IMO it's just easier to avoid that situation entirely.Not quite. Updating manually to every single nightly if you're into that sort of thing is tedious.

They *shouldn't* be tedious to download and use. That makes it annoying even for people who are knowledgeable enough to use them and troubleshoot their own issues. There's no real point to doing so. Again, just block the option unless you add a file or an option in a config. Pretty sure that solves the problem of people without the knowledge thinking they bricked by installing a nightly.Right.... They SHOULD be tedious to download because they aren't stable.

It probably would and it would probably be a setting in lumaupdater.cfg. But since I forked the project, I had reports that issues were appearing in lumaupdater.cfg and I could never have the time to figure them out.Eh, wouldn't it be simpler to check for the existence of some file and enable or disable the option depending on that? That's what I used to do with Corbenik Updater.
True that would more or less solve the issue anyway. I'm not hating on nightlies i just hate when noobs use them, something is broken, and they come here bitching that XX bricked their console.They *shouldn't* be tedious to download and use.

You could take the lazy way out and add another file lulIt probably would and it would probably be a setting in lumaupdater.cfg. But since I forked the project, I had reports that issues were appearing in lumaupdater.cfg and I could never have the time to figure them out.
