Yes, I have those cases too for my 3b+ and 3b and also tried one on my rpi4 too....but it runs too hot on a metal case so went for the acrylic one instead, and now runs about 45 degrees all the time...
Easy to adapt for the rpi4

I'm going to try that! I have a couple of heat sinks on mine that might help. And I have a case that I already slightly modified for the rock64, but the rock64 has some issues that I never resolved so I don't use it. So it wouldn't hurt to try!

A script for a "non-pi" is included in there too. it is called setupUbuntuSBC (renamed from 64 bit, because it doesn't have to be 64 bit)

But I have been working hard on the Raspian and Ubuntu Mate PI scripts, so the Ubuntu SBC probably still needs some updating to include all the revisions I have made this week in the others.

Yes, you can checkout a specific commit when cloning the git repositories, but progress on INDI and KStars is so rapid, that it would quickly get out of date if I don't update it very very very regularly.

Do you know the specific git command to do this?
I'm not too familiar with Git, and kstars development, but I did a little googling and came up with the following:

> git clone github.com/indilib/indi.git
> cd indi
> git tag
v1.3
v1.3.1
v1.4.0
v1.4.1
v1.5.0
v1.6.0
v1.6.1
v1.6.2
v1.7.0
v1.7.1
v1.7.2
v1.7.4
v1.7.5
v1.7.6
v1.7.7
v1.7.8
v1.7.9
v1.8.0

I assume tag v1.8.0 is the tag for indi 1.8.0

Then, I assume this is how to get the released indi source:

cd indi
git checkout v1.8.0
// then go ahead and compile indi in this directory

However, for kstars, things seem more complicated:

// Get kstars
git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kstars
cd kstars
// Find all the tags
git tag
...
v16.12.3
v17.03.80
v17.03.90
v17.04.0
v17.04.1
v17.04.2
v17.04.3
v17.07.80
v17.07.90
v17.08.0
v17.08.1
v17.08.2
v17.08.3
...
v4.9.0
v4.9.1
v4.9.2
v4.9.3
v4.9.4
v4.9.5
v4.9.80
v4.9.90
v4.9.95
v4.9.97
v4.9.98

It doesn't look like any of these are the current tags, if they still use tags. e.g.

> git log --tags --simplify-by-decoration --pretty="format:%ai %d"

2018-07-25 21:38:14 +0300 (tag: v2.9.7)
2018-04-23 00:20:55 +0300 (tag: v2.9.5)
2018-04-08 10:06:21 +0300 (tag: v2.9.4)
2018-02-26 17:27:08 +0300 (tag: v2.9.3)
2018-01-28 09:57:47 +0300 (tag: v2.9.2)
2018-01-10 08:45:17 +0300 (tag: v2.9.1)
2018-01-09 16:22:27 +0300 (tag: v2.9.0)
2017-12-16 00:51:54 +0300 (tag: v2.8.9)
2017-11-19 15:33:38 +0300 (tag: v2.8.8, origin/2.8)
...

there is nothing for 2019.
Any ideas how to get kstars release source via git?

I guess the alternative is to use
download.kde.org/stable/kstars/kstars-3.3.3.tar.xz.mirrorlist
or some other release from download.kde.org/stable/kstars/
and skip git altogether.

Is that the recommended approach?

@Astronerd:
What case is that, can you send a link?
Is there any kind of cooling involved (fan? heat sink?)
My Pi4 sure runs hot.

What is that arm on the back, an antenna?
What did you have to adapt for the Pi4?

Thanks,
Hy

The black case or the clear acrylic one above that....??
The acrylic one is dedicated for the rpi4 and comes with built in fan and heatsink
The black one was for an rpi3, it has a hole for a fan but had to cut out the side for the dual HDMI connectors, and the front panel where the Ethernet and USB ports are, plus make the audio and power socket holes a tad bigger, all with a hobby file, took a while..that case was off eBay, but don't have the link anymore..
The black right angle thing is a right angle USB C to USB Micro adapter, so I could use my old rpi3 power supply with the rpi4... :)

@hy

I would probably download the stable release zip file. I don’t think that Jasem regularly puts releases on git. I might be wrong. But I do know that there should always be zip files put on the kde website with each release.

I printed this one, fits perfectly. Including a 30 mm fan, which fits quite snug.
Haven't tried it out yet, but looks good so far.
I would be happy to print one and send it to you.
Thanks for everything you have been doing for the community!

I was inspired by the case modification that Astronerd posted. So I took one of my Raspberry Pi 3 cases and modified it on my drill press so that the connectors would fit. So far it seems to be working pretty well. I left the one side with the USB connections open since the panel for the 3B really doesn't work there too well. I think this will work until I get a case for the Pi 4 that I'm happy with. So far it appears to be averaging about 55 degrees C, which is better than it did when it wasn't in the case.

Nice job.. :)
I did ma abe to adapt the panel around the USB ports, it it was very fiddly, as there was very little metal left around the edges, I thought it could just be reversed to fit, but that did not work.. :(
