new-lg4ff not updated / not current

[stefanpausch]

tl;dr: Wipi (with current Updates) does still use (very?) old version of new-lg4ff

Hello,

running latest version of wipi (updated by web interface).

After the update an old version of new-lg4ff is still being used and "openffb -a" can not see the g29 / g25 wheels i am using.

Updated new-lg4ff to 0.4.0 manually and "openffb -a" sees the wheels.

There is an /usr/src/new-lg4ff-0.3.0 directory on the wipi image. My guess it that there is a logic to update to that version, but there is a bug in the update script and new-lg4ff never gets updated.

steps to reproduce:

• write the current wipi image to an sdcard
• enable openffb
• update wipi to the current version
• connect either a logitech G25 or G29 wheel
• login via ssh and run "openffb -a" ... You get an error message "No haptic devices found"
• get latest verson of new-lg4ff from https://github.com/berarma/new-lg4ff
• unzip all contents to /usr/src/new-lg4ff
• run: sudo dkms install /usr/src/new-lg4ff
• reboot
• run "openffb -a" again and suddenly the wheels are found
