Hi Eugen,

For now, as this is for production environment, I'd rather stay on the
stable 4.0.1 version. But if time permits, I'd be glad to test the
unstable branch and report here though :)

On a side note, I didn't managed to compile Opal 3.10.10 with either
libav 11.4/10.7 or ffmpeg 2.7.2. I tried to apply the Debian patches
you told me about, but the patch command failed on some chunks. I
tried to add these by hand, but that only led to more errors... Could
you help me on this one please ?

In the mean time, we received the new x86 based machine, an Intel NUC
D34010WYKH, which is of course a lot more powerful than the tiny
Raspberry Pi 2.

Cheers, Samuel
