Set up repositories?

Open DC7IA opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

Hey there,

how about a repository for the .deb files? Downloading files manually is just annoying. :D

Hello,

I'm already working on this but since I don't have any ubuntu or debian system I haven't finished it yet. The SDR++ PPA is already registered.

Maybe also try to get it into the Ubuntu repositories and other repositories like Debian and FreeBSD. :D

That'd be cool!

For this, debian requires you to be "sponsored" by a debian developper and I hate that system. Not to mention that if it ever gets into the official repos you can be sure it'll never be updated...

For freebsd it might be possible, I know someone who messes with that.

Initial import has been done: https://salsa.debian.org/debian-hamradio-team/sdrpp

Also, that is not true. Software gets continuously updated. That the unstable branch. After a few days without open bugs packages progress to the testing branch. This branch gets frozen every two years and becomes stable.

If you don't run a server, but want a current system, you can definitely run Debian Testing. I've been using it for a while and it works fine. It's stable, not in the Debian meaning of stable (nothing changes except security patches), but in the meaning of "it does not constantly break".

Anyway, if you talk to the guy who did the initial import of sdr++ this might speed up things. :D

I see.

Most important thing is that the modules that are shipped with the package MUST be those noted as "Built in release" in the big table at the end of the readme. SDR++ just won't load the modules that are missing dependencies but at least it won't require rebuilding the thing.

This seems to have been stalled. Maybe still set up repositories?

Setting up a repo is relatively simple: https://gist.github.com/awesomebytes/ce0643c1ddead589ab06e2a1e4c5861b

Maybe you can even use GitHub pages for that.

Seeing how stalled it is (over a year, they're still on 1.0.3), having it on debian probably won't happen, and I'm not gonna waste time with an Ubuntu PPA because I never use ubuntu.
