What I've done is made use of modern Debian source packaging format to make a source package that includes only stuff outside the distribution. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=706184 JS> I realise that if we are to move towards getting FreeDV packed in JS> distros we need to build it against distro packages, but due to codec2 JS> and wxwidgets not having packages, that's difficult on Ubuntu.

As it so happens, I am looking after another old copy of codec2 now in Debian - it is shipped along with GNU Radio as a vocoder codec option. So I am certainly motivated to see a codec2 library package. After all, I've had them on my own Debian systems for a while. But remember, David Rowe reserves the right to change the bitstream at any time. Other codecs have had incompatible forks in different applications, so if you look at the model of Opus development you will see that library packages for Opus were not made readily available until the standards document was completed. We need to be good stewards of codec2 development. Perhaps we should draft a short document for end users, perhaps titled "Welcome new Codec2 Experimenter" to motivate users toward the experimental nature of the software and remove expectations that the technology is completely mature. -Maitland ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
