Bug#964875: libmirisdr: Package v1.1.2
Source: libmirisdr
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Control: block 939122 by -1
Dear maintainer,
Please consider updating libmirisdr to v1.1.2 of libmirisdr-4:
libmirisdr-4 is the closest thing to a currently-maintained libmirisdr variant,
and switching to it seems consistent given that “libmirisdr-2” is the current
content of the package, as far as I could tell.
I already did the necessary packaging work, and created a packaging repository
under the hamradio team on salsa:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-hamradio-team/libmirisdr/
I tested rebuilding its reverse-dependencies, and gr-osmosdr and soapyosm will
need to be patched in order to deal with an API change: `mirisdr_open(3)` now
takes an additional argument, to specify the expected hardware family.
This should be a straightforward change, and presumably upstreamable.
Given that this package has been unmaintained since 2016, in the absence of a
reply this month, I will NMU and look into adopting it under the ham team.
Best,
nicoo
