debian packaging
It would be excellent to provide a debian directory for creating .deb packages.
Direwolf is actually in Debian. However, the version that is available in Debian Stable is way too old. The version available in Debian Unstable is up-to-date.
If there is demand, I'm happy to provide backports of direwolf to Debian stable. I am also considering packaging beta versions of direwolf in the experimental suite of the archive (which could be installed using apt pinning.
@elafargue If you're interested in helping out with hamradio packages in Debian, contact [email protected] and I'm sure we can get you started. (:
Would be good to get a backport done for Direwolf though 1.3 is still in a beta phase as it's still on 1.3-dev-I. I've found it's pretty stable though.

Version 1.3 has now been released, doing updates on the package now and will attempt a backport once 1.3 is in testing (at most expecting a 10 day delay before I can do a backport upload, no less than 5 though to allow automated QA tests to run).
A new stable version, 1.4, is now available. I'm open to suggestions on how to make the packaging easier.
Updating the package to 1.4 now. A backport will be available for stretch once stretch has been released. As Debian is currently in a freeze, the package will be uploaded to experimental, not unstable. It will be reuploaded to unstable after the release.
Edit: @wb2osz I'll need to get a copy of each of the .docx files again for the source packaging, I haven't looked at which ones have changed yet, but the upload of the package can be expedited if you can email me the latest docx files to include ([email protected]).
@chrisdebian - your post is off topic. As mentioned in this discussion, Direwolf is already packaged by Debian people and tracking those versions is for other communities if they care to look.
