Hey hey, A quick heads up. David Boddie has created a package that solves this problem (he emailed me about it this morning). Great to see the community step up like this. There's still lots of ways you can get involved with RaspberryPi. :-) N. On 27/03/15 17:44, Steve Holden wrote: > Excellen

Ok, here's a start... I gathered more information, and found an alternative[0]. Seems i2c-tools needs to make a new release first? That would be the place to ask first. http://www.lm-sensors.org/browser/i2c-tools/trunk Then the Debian package can be updated: https://packages.debian.org/wheez

Hi Steve, That is in fact what I was planning on doing. I ought to have disclosed that I actually work for Continuum Analytics, though I'd probably be trying this out as just as a personal weekend project. I'll also be trying this on QEMU on OSx

Hi Andrew, That's an interesting idea. If you aren't already considering it, I'd recommend minoconda3 to keep network traffic and build times down - as you are doubtless aware Anaconda can be pretty heavyweight, whereas miniconda is leaner, using load-on-demand. I know that the guys at Continu
