PiCtory

We release PiCtory in version 2.0.3 now. PiCtory is not installed in “/var/www” anymore, it is now installed in “/var/www/revpi”. The problem is now that your application will not work anymore when you upgrade your system from Stretch to Buster, as “config.rsc” cannot be found anymore. To fix that, we have implemented the script “/usr/sbin/revpi_buster_fix_pictory.sh” which is now part of revpi-tools-1.0.15-2. Please execute the script with “sudo /usr/sbin/revpi_buster_fix_pictory.sh”. After successful execution, your application should work again and also PiCtory should show your latest device configuration again.

revpi-tools

We release revpi-tools in version 1.0.15-2. Another script “/usr/sbin/revpi_buster_fix_pictory.sh” has been added to fix a PiCtory issue after an upgrade from Stretch to Buster. For further information, please take a look at paragraph “PiCtory”.
