Aptik 21.05
Aptik 21.05 is now available. This is a minor update with new repositories.
What’s New
Optimised Packages
Packages for Aptik are now optimized for each distribution that it runs on. So instead of a single repository and a single set of packages, there are now different repositories for each release of Ubuntu and Debian; and for each hardware architecture that it runs on (amd64, i386, arm64, armhf). Please re-run the installation steps that you received at the time of purchase to switch over to the newer repository.
The repository now uses keyring files as recommended by Debian instead of using apt-key which is deprecated. apt-key is going to be removed in future versions of Debian and Ubuntu (after Debian 11 / Ubuntu 22.04) so it’s as good a time as any to switch over to newer standards. All Debian and Ubuntu-based distributions continue to be supported starting from Debian 9 Stretch and Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial. Aptik will drop support for Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.04 by end of 2022 after Debian 11 / Ubuntu 22.04 is released.
(more…)FlashIt v21.04
FlashIt is an app for managing USB sticks and SD cards. It can flash ISO/IMG files to USB sticks, create compressed backup images, format the card for storage, clone SD cards, mount/umount disk images, etc.
