There have been several updates to the components and tools Pegasus uses, and the official releases for certain platform has changed accordingly:
Of course, you can always build Pegasus from source to support your particular setup.
INSTALL_DATADIR
configuration option. It wasn't really used since Pegasus is a single executable, and for config files there are plenty of directories supported already.INSTALL_DOCDIR
configuration option. For a global installation on Linux, the XDG spec recommends setting it to /usr/share/doc/pegasus-frontend
.INSTALL_ICONDIR
should now be set to the common directory of the different icon sizes, eg. /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
Weekly update! (it's been a while)
Also there have been some updates on the Linux distros in the last weeks (RetroPie 4.6, Ubuntu 20.04), so I've also updated the build configurations:
If you haven't updated your system yet, do not update Pegasus either. In case you did, you can still download the "stable" releases from pegasus-frontend.org. Let me know if this change ends up to be a problem.
KNOWN ISSUES
Updates for package maintainers

(Bi-)Weekly update! (2020-05-18)
