I'm just now setting up a pkg-uhd git repository on Alioth so that I can share my efforts. (I had been keeping up with gnuradio git and UHD and CMake building using my own non-policy-compliant packages for squeeze. But now I can see a way to keep lintian happy.) >> It would be great to have 3.5 make a grand entry in Debian, it would be >> right in time for Wheezy. :) Exactly! The story so far: - Package UHD This is where the free software meets the contrib, where the sdcc bits and the FPGA tool builds fled to after being removed from gnuradio proper. - Package gnuradio 3.5.0rc0 Can build-depend on the free parts of UHD and stay in main. So far I have a gnuradio 3.4.1 package for squeeze. gnuradio 3.5.0rc0 packages are debugging for my multiarch libuhd packages. - Package gr-fcd Since there are lots of FUNcube Dongle devices out there to support. Other fun: - Package the zylin ZPU gcc toolchain http://opencores.org/project,zpu - Update sdcc packages to 3.0 for USRP1 and B100 firmware (source in UHD) Bdale> but worrying less about what went before than about the right way Bdale> to package these bits for Debian for the future. I have gained some skills in using the 3.0 (quilt) format of Debian packages to make it clear what the patches to upstream are. Of course, we're all using git so that is redundant, but that is OK. And I've been keeping up with the fancy new debhelper tricks which makes debian/rules smaller and easier to read.

In the spirit of optimism I've got you in the Uploaders: field, just to keep your name in debian/control :) -Maitland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
