Is 4.8.0 considered fully released? I see the note below, but when examining weewx.com/downloads, it still shows 4.7.0 and 4.8.0 isn’t in the released_versions directory, but is instead in the development_versions directory.

Thanks, 

Joel

Sorry about that. Fixed.

[matthew wall]

the suse and rhel/centos repos have been updated with 4.8.0-2, and the raw rpms are now available in the download area

no weewx code was modified

this is a package-only fix with a patch to the systemd unit file that is installed for suse and rhel package installs.  it does not affect the deb package; the deb package still uses an init script, since it must work on debian-based systems with or without systemd (a systemd-native deb package is in the works for a later weewx release).

please let me know if you have any issues with the gpg signing of the rhel or suse packages.

Matthew,

Is there a copy of the Debian systemd unit file publicly available?  I am running Armbian on an Olimex board and find that with the init script that my console time will be off which I suspect is due to the init script being run before timesyncd has completed.

Thanks!

There are various options for systemd described in the wiki

[nfbarg...@gmail.com]

Thanks for the replies.  It happens that I found a copy of the unit file on the system in question I evidently copied back in February from the Wiki.  Sorry for the noise.
