Re: Requesting sponsorship for the OpenDigitalRadio project



Hi Christopher,

I can now see that odr-padenc was pushed to unstable: thank you 😀️

There are 3 packages that are still sitting in mentors:
+ odr-audioenc (the audio encoder)
+ odr-dabmux (the multiplex)
+ odr-dabmod (the modulator)

Is there a way you could push these packages as well, in order to have
the whole broadcasting chain? 
If yes, will the packages be migrated eventually to testing and be
included in the next debian release (bookworm)?

Once the packages are present in testing, is there a way to "backport"
these 4 packages to bullseye?

Kind regards.
