I really do not have time to lead the packaging of gnuradio in Debian any more, and would love to see someone else take the lead on it. > *So*, instead of going on a wild run to start fixing this stuff, I am > writing you guys to see if anyone is already working on this or > interested in helping. I suggest you talk to Maitland Bottoms about what's done, I'll cc him on this reply to bring him into the conversation. > It would be great to have 3.5 make a grand entry in Debian, it would be > right in time for Wheezy. :) I would like to suggest we start by requesting that the current gnuradio packages be purged from the Debian archive, and all existing gnuradio bugs open in the BTS be closed. Then, start over clean packaging a current gnuradio version for Debian, using as much of Johnathan's continuous adaptation of my older work that's in upstream as makes sense, but worrying less about what went before than about the right way to package these bits for Debian for the future. If this happens, I'm likely to find time to *use* gnuradio again some in the next year, and am willing to help poke around the edges from time to time, but my attention really is elsewhere these days. > Thanks for your comments, and sorry for the intrusion.
