I’m thinking the same thing with you . avoid the fork/exec.
I’ll remove the ‘cut’ from it and work as you have.
While I’ve not expressly called out “Pentium”, testing for N and G covers it.
Since we’re testing for the 5xxx and above, we’re at KBL and above CPUs which is what this is all about.
This block was still conditional on the HaveIntelCeleron=1 assignment earlier so it wouldn’t be executed for Pentium without the other changes.
I’ll add that. I won’t have any real support other than the local flag.
Making final changes now.
If you’ll be available for a bit, I’ll provide a package to test.
Should that succeed, I’ll get QA to review (they’re already waiting)
No syntax errors.
Detection for my 8809G works correctly.

Is this good enough to “Paint & Ship” ?
Yeah, I’ll shut up about the other “unnecessary” grep calls 
YOU DO THAT! 
I like deterministic code. case statements bother me because they’re so darn verbose
I’m verbose enough as it is 
Dumb question, if I wanted to get this version in docker plexmediaserver_1.27.0.5878-8f821a871_amd64 I would probably have to make my own until this is moved to prod?
First,
The package supports upgrading a docker / LXC from within the container.
It knows it’s under the control of a container executive (the common ones) , or a custom shell control, or systemd.
In the case of a docker or LXC container, it knows how to handle being installed via the command line (dpkg).
Second:
Regarding this update, Today is the day Engineering gathers everything for the upcoming release of PMS.
I was able to confirm this update will be included in this very next PlexPass release.
I will keep this thread open to address any previously unforeseen issues which surface when PlexPass is released but close it as soon as the version becomes Public.
Awesome! I believe you said this already but just want to confirm - this means we can update to the next public pass release and then once Plex can handle newer IRC versions, it will release the hold on 21.49 its own and I won’t have to manually keep track from there, correct? Just want to make sure I can take it off my mind’s watchlist lol
You are correct here.
When Engineering makes updates which require changes to Intel Compute Runtime, it will be reflected in the packaging from now on.
At some point, it is hoped Engineering will be able to fully integrate ICR with PMS distribution.
If they do then all external references could be removed.
AGAIN, IF THEY DO. I don’t know their plan but if they did then this what would happen.
FOR NOW, I will keep track of the packaging requirements and manage them from within the DEB package.
Confirming: is this release that just got released the one we can upgrade to with these changes then?
It sounds like the earliest release this will be in is the next Beta.
This release is from the beta after the original comment which is why I am asking my dude.
1.27.1 had already been built before my changes were approved.
1.27.2 is about to be built.
These packaging changes will be included in this next build (1.27.2)
I am completing changes for how the repo is managed.
New versions of Ubuntu (20+) and Debian (10+) support and prefer using GPG to protect the package signing key.
The new scripting works.
Ubuntu 20+ / Debian 10+ will use the new construct
deb [arch=$HostArch signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/plexmediaserver.gpg]
a. The key will be maintained as PMS is installed.
b. The repo file creation and removal will be handled in postinst . This avoids the DPKG message about keep/ignore/new as the package installs.
Other distros and older versions will continue to use apt-key
Package --purge is now working.
Speaking of which… when will Plex Pass users finally be able to update through the repo? 
PlexPass is not in the repo YET
The Downloads page makes it look that way but it’s not.
Unless management/engineering change their views on this…
You’ll never have a PlexPass repository.
The current method is the safeguard for users.
You must “Manually OPT-IN each time by downloading”.
