The existing from-source setup scripts are deprecated and will be removed after 2025-06-01: - setup/ubuntu/install_prereqs.sh - setup/ubuntu/source_distribution/install_prereqs_user_environment.sh Instead, users and developers should run setup/install_prereqs (not as root). Usability changes: - Fine-tuned log output, with option for --verbose (e.g., in CI). - Skip unnecessary steps; incremental runs are typically sub-second. Maintainability changes: - Always use files, not heredocs. (The pkg-config etc in a heredoc were documented as unwanted when using Drake's Debian packages, but that was wrong; we always want those deps even in Debian packages.) Website changes: - Major updates to from_source that explain how to install from CMake. A few cleanups macOS come along for the ride: - Remove useless binary_distribution_called_update shenanigans. - Remove vestigial i386 rcfile. - Abandon all hope of supporting 'brew install drake'.
