I'll see that this gets reviewed by myself and/or Steve Conklin (the chirp Debian maintainers) as soon as possible. > Thanks. > > -- Chris, KB2IQN On Fri, 2013-04-05 at 02:46 -0400, David A Aitcheson wrote: > [...] > PS - A fork similar to this is what caused all the problems with "NODE". > Did we not learn anything from that drawn out over more than a decade mess? As has been pointed out, Chris's proposed package is not any sort of a fork -- nor is it duplicated work with respect to the chirp-daily PPA. Chris's package is aimed at bringing a newer "official" release of chirp to Debian (where it will then make its way into stock Ubuntu and many other distros), whereas the purpose of the Ubuntu PPA is to deliver the bleeding-edge version to more advanced Ubuntu users. Chris's package is (potentially) suitable for inclusion in Debian and its derivatives, but the daily build package is not. 73 de KA6MAL -Kamal
