Upcoming moOde 8.0.0 release

[Tim Curtis]

MoOde is not a software application that runs on RaspiOS.

I beg to differ here.   I'd expect to be able to apply any base OS security updates without breaking MoOde.

It would be nice if we had the option to select a standard Raspi OS kernel as an option if we only used USB DACs, too.

As long as the security updates don't alter the components or configurations that moOde depends on or how moOde and its components interact with the rest of RaspiOS you should be ok otherwise there could be breakage. There is no such thing as bullet proof, risk free OS updates.

By "standard Raspi OS kernel" do you mean the kernel that ships with the official release of RaspiOS or thats provided in a RaspiOS apt upgrade?

If the answer is yes then then thats the kernel we use and support as part of our build process for moOde 8. What we can't support is a kernel upgrade applied by user to our official release because (a) there would be breakage because it would not include the custom drivers we add to the stock kernel and (b) we would not have tested it to see if it breaks anything. This is all just standard stuff in the application support space :-)

I'd encourage you to take a look at our new packaging and build process. It's based on standard Debian Package Management and pi-gen image generation. https://github.com/moode-player
