Dear all,

 

sorry if it's a stupid question 😉 ...

 

I successfully install armbian on my SBC (in fact a TV box) for amlogic https://www.armbian.com/amlogic-s9xx-tv-box/
I install this one: Armbian_community_25.5.0-trunk.4_Aml-s9xx-box_bookworm_current_6.12.12.img.xz

I use armbian-config / section "software" to add some 3rd party software, and it works very well

 

The choice in the "software" section is limited on my setup, and when I look at the source code (main branch) here https://github.com/armbian/configng/tree/main/tools/modules/software

I see more software available....

 

Is it possible to upgrade only "armbian-config" to have an easy access to all the latest software available ?
Or perhaps, just copy/paste the module_xxxxxx.sh that I see on the source code somewhere ?

 

Thanks in advance Folks !

Regards

Nico.

Yes, of course. Running apt update + apt upgrade should update armbian-config to the latest. If you want to keep installed software updated, see options in "Updates". You can enable automatic updating of container images.

If you are somehow missing sources lists, manual way:

Thanks for your quick answer @Igor

So this is the standard way to update any package, So easy, I should have test that before posting here ....


I just successfully do :

apt update
apt list --upgradable
armbian-config/inconnu 25.5.0-trunk.53.0213.103604 all [pouvant être mis à jour depuis : 25.5.0-trunk.18.0207.210415] --> YES there is an update available
apt install armbian-config   --> juste to update only this package, to no impact other part of my system


And ....TADA ! I now have all the latest "software" available in armbian-config available 😉 
thx again
