Linpac 0.25 released -- needs packaging updates for various Debian releases



Hello Everyone,

I'm happy to announce that Linpac 0.25 has been released. This new version has some badly needed fixes to resolve known segfault issues upon start for newest Linux distros with newer GCC versions. This release also lowers the CPU load on your system when running Linpac (previously consumed an entire core). More work is needed here to get it as low as it should but this is a substantial improvement. Various other mail bugs, broken pipe errors, code cleanups, and compiler warning have been addressed.


Debian-Hams package maintainers:  Could you please update the Linpac package for the Stretch and Jessie releases?  This is especially urgent for Stretch release as Linpac segfaults upon starting due to the newer version of GCC used there.  I previous worked with Colin Tuckley in getting Linpac added to Debian but I understand he's no longer doing packaging work.  Hopefully someone will pick up this message and run with it!
