Meteor 1.5

[thiagopromano]

Hi, will there be an update for Meteor 1.5?

Hi, If you don't want to wait for an update, you can build your own Meteor 1.5. Here's an exemple of what I did to build Meteor 1.5.2.2 for ARMv6. It have to start mongod manually and set MONGO_URL to tell meteor to use it, but in the end it's working :)

Nice! I will try and tell the results! This should be in a tutorial.

Hi, I have not been able install Meteor 1.5.2.2 on Raspberry (armv61). Is it possible ? If yes, someboby can publish the instructions, please ?

[janKir]

Does this work for Meteor 1.6, too?

[Gatux]

You can try with my latest update: https://github.com/Gatux/meteor

Thanks

FYI -- this works great using ubuntu cosmic mongod/mongo (update script to copy from /usr/bin/mongod) and Meteor 1.7.x/devel. Compiled on a rockpro64.
