Hi Joe,

thanks for info. I have WSJT-X packaging on my todo list, but I didn't know
that it completely superseded WSPR-X. But no problem, I will probaly close
the WSPR-X inclusion request and will open new one for WSJT-X

Hi Jaroslav,

Thanks for your email.  I wish I could have saved you the effort already
put into this task, because I do not recommend packaging WSPR-X for any
platform or distribution.  WSPR-X is obsolete, and no longer supported.
Its functions are limited, and anyway now much better served by WSJT-X.

Hi,

I am trying to get WSPR-X into Fedora [1].

During the packaging I have found few issues:

- I had to apply the attached patch in order to compile the
code under Fedora, otherwise it wanted to link with the palir-02.dll

- in the SVN few source files had executable permission set

- files in SVN have mixed line endings, most of the files have LF,
but there are also files with CR + LF ending

- I wasn't sure which version the WSPR-X is, for the SVN revision
8046 the GUI app shows 0.9, but there is written 1.3 in the
CMakeLists.txt, so I marked it as SVN snapshot after the 0.9 release.

- during the build it created empty /usr/bin/kvasd file, so I didn't
package it

- the provided icon is very small (only 32 x 32 pixels), it would
be great to have 128 x 128 pixels PNG at least. If you don't have
resources to create it, I think our design team could help

- it's missing .desktop file, I created one (in attachment)
