Do you have the old install instructions for 0.42, python 2.7 instructions anywhere?

I removed them after 0.43.1 stable release, those old wiki entries caused confusion, with a lot of people following them, and wondering why things did not work. Was it too early? I hope there is no one required to still run a Python 2 application.

Aside of installing Python, the other packages (FFmpeg, V4L2 tools, curl) can be derived from the new init script: https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye/blob/main/motioneye/extra/linux_init

The new systemd unit still works with the old version: https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye/blob/main/motioneye/extra/motioneye.systemd

Let me know if there is a particular case. I can patch together the needed bits on demand, or see whether there is a way to use modern Python 3 motionEye.
