Hello, bare with me, as I am new to GNU radio. I've pored over a lot of the
docs and have a couple of questions.

For a school project, I'd like to help GNU radio out in some way (I'm
developing in OSX). If this email should be elsewhere, let me know.

1) What is the barrier to getting a gnuradio ports command? Is it simply
that there is not someone to do it, or something more? I feel it'd be really
nice if you could just do "sudo ports install gnuradio" and it'd get you to
the point where you have everything you need such that, theoretically, you
can make it and run the dialtone app. It seems to me the only BIG barrier is
that the current stable build only works with python 2.5 (because there are
other packages which HAVEN'T been udpated to newer versions of python, even
2.6, so without 2.5 they won't work etc). Either way, if it's not
insurmountable, I'd be willing to develop this because I think it'd be
helpful, but I'd be curious to pick brains about why it hasn't been done and
what obstacles are in the way.

2) This is more indiciative of my lack of RF knowledge (working on fixing
that), so if you have a resource that answers this, please give. Is there a
GNU radio app that let's you grab as many radio stations as possible? Not
necessarily to even listen to at that time, but perhaps to grab as many as
possible and then decode them after the fact so that you could listen to
them later or something (my goal is to get a corpus of radio broadcasts, but
I think this could be useful for other reasons to). If this hasn't been
implemented, is it feasible?

Thanks for your time
-Jonathan
