Hi David,
I am not ruling out portable packaging, I just don't think it should be
the prime focus of a small and busy development team. If someone makes a
portable package, commit to keep it up to date, and it gets some
traction amongst Linux users of WSJT-X; then that's fine.
I assume you realize that the WSJT-X CMake build script already knows
how to make a basic Debian or RPM package, the package target does that
if run on a suitable machine. You would be better to use a git checkout
rather than the combined WSJT-X sources tarball with bundled Hamlib.
That would mean separately installing Hamlib, which is not hard and the
WSJT-X repo INSTALL file (different from the one in the combined sources
tarball) has a recipe. Making a package is no more than invoking `make
package` or `cmake --build --target package`.

Just got a new wsjt digest where you answered a question about
Flatpak. From your answer, that doesn't seem to be the correct direction.
Since I like to be on the latest distro of Ubuntu, maybe I should
learn to make a deb and give you guys that to post?
Basically I'm looking for some pointers on how to best help the project.

I just built 2.2.2 on Ubuntu 20.04 and noticed a few things that
should be fixed in the INSTALL file in the 2.2.2 tarball. Some of
them are cosmetic. Some are actual errors if you follow the steps
(line 131). Just my way to try and help the project!
