Bug#907576: . dream -- A Software Digital Radio Mondiale Receiver

[GMiller]

Hello Brian

Yes pragmatism in retrospect now seems obvious. Now that I think about it, the 
only functionality it might add to Salsa is the ability to build on line 
anyway. Thanks for your insight.

Now for information, back to DReaM. I'm going to try commenting out a few lines 
of offending code and see if it compiles. I think this will only affect an 
obscure feature in the DReam functionality. No experienced programmer has 
volunteered to help fix the broken code and I'm not smart enough to know how. 
It will probably work good enough.

Garie,

TL;DR Use an IDE or text editor on your machine.

Local IDEs/text editors are used to develop the vast, vast majority of
software.  Most developers develop on their own machines instead of in
the browser.  It doesn't make sense to develop in a browser-based IDE
(at least not yet) since they are missing vital functionality.  Whole
OSes can't be replicated in the browser, whereby the browser greatly
limits access to common development tools.

Best regards,

Brian

I am not sure I understand your comment. Are you saying in effect, don't use a 
Salsa IDE to build/test the project? Instead use an IDE on my local machine to 
build/test and develop any code changes? Is that how most Salsa projects are 
doing it?

Thanks for your patience

Sorry, I can help you with packaging hamradio software, but please use
a normal editor like everyone else. There is no need to bother with
funky web stuff, especially if it doesn't work out of the box.

Hi Christoph

TNX for the comments.

1)Yes, I will try to do something about the layout. I see that other projects 
have debian and src dirs. at top of master.

2)Dream links with non-free libraries. I followed procedure as I understand it.

3)Copywrite. I thought it redundant also. But this is how Debmake generated it. 
I didn't want to change it without good reason.

4) OK regarding build-depend. I will pick that up in time.

5)libfdk-aac-dev 1.6 is in Buster. The new libfdk-aac-dev 2.0.1 was in Sid 
unstable last I looked. We must use this. libfaac-dev is non-free.

6)OK regarding lib* depends.

7)OK regarding debian/install.

8)OK regarding COPYING.

9)OK will skip test.

I've been reading and looking. The Salsa Web IDE looks good and seems intuitive 
to use. I thought I might next create branch 'experimental' and try an on-line 
build using git-buildpackage, gbp or something. The documentation explains how 
to branch. Problem is when you go to the dashboard, the branch icon they show 
is missing. I would rather not have to use the command line to branch if I can 
help it.
