Is it difficult for the author to get the Repositories updated with the

the more vetted Repositories rather than download directly from a site,
any site. If we do the latter we might as well be using Windows.
That being said, I really like XLog for its simplicity and
functionality. I do look forward to better ADIF support in the new version.
Now if someone with more brains than I could come up with a modern
contest logger for Linux I wouldn't need Windows at all. :-)
Thanks for all of the work!

HI Steve,
I have tried to get updated versions into the Debian and Ubuntu
repositories for the last to releases, to no avail.
Savannah is a well trusted site, and note also that there is a signed
file with the tarball that I've uploaded. If you trust me, then you
trust that which I've uploaded, once you've verified the signature
matches. If you don't trust me, it won't be any better than what
Debian/Ubuntu distribute, since they get it from me.
That said, once one has downloaded the tarball, the process is quite
standard:
sudo -i
cd /usr/local/src
tar xcvf xlog-<version>.tar.gz
cd xlog-<version>
Read the INSTALL file for detailed instructions.
./configure
make
make install
Regarding a "modern context logger" for Linux, perhaps cqrlog would
better meet that need.
73,
Andy
