The bundling of a fork of hamlib or just the use of a fork of another project internally is not really acceptable so we may have to wait until the hamlib team catch up and get their v3 release into the distributions before we can proceed smoothly. This basically boils down to the need for the distribution maintainers to control the patching of all sources that they distribute from. I can sort of see their point but there has, at some point, to be a boundary of the domain of the application developers responsibility and the distribution managers. OTOH I don't think we want to be adopting hamlib in any way, they have a product in the field and offer support etc. for it and we must be careful not to step in inadvertently and find ourselves inflating the WSJT-X sources with the hamlib sources and the consequential support requirements.
We might be able to progress a little further if I generate a giant patch of the differences between the current released hamlib2 and what we are using. This may be more acceptable and the superbuild script can be fairly easily adapted to use such a patch as it already has patching capabilities. I will try an progress this soon after kvasd matters are resolved. Update on that to follow. > > The man pages for wsjtx, jt65code, and rigctld-wajtx also look very > nice. Many thanks for setting these up! These are a requirement of Linux packaging for the official distributions.
