Project Opendigitalradio (www.opendigitalradio.org)

Hi,

Out of the 4 packages that currently make the Opendigitalradio mmbtools
project:
- odr-padenc (Program Associated Data encoder)
- odr-audioenc (Audio encoder)
- odr-dabmux (dab/dab+ multiplexer)
- odr-dabmod (dab/dab+ modulator)

I was able to get only 2 packages (odr-padenc, odr-dabmux) pushed to
testing and unstable.

Since one needs the 4 packages to run the full dab/dab+ broadcast
workflow and since bookworm is not too far away from being released, I
would like the above 2 packages excluded from the future bookworm. Can
someone from this group handle the matter?

Thank you very much in advance for your support.

Hi Christoph,
Thank you very much! I will modify file debian/control with the new section non-free/hamradio and leave the other packages untouched. Then I will resubmit the package to mentor. 

Other questions:
Is there anything I can do to push forward the 2 packages (odr-dabmux and odr-dabmod) that are still sitting in NEW?
Do you believe that there is a chance that the 4 packages could be available on time for the next freeze? If not, is there a way to exclude the package odr-padenc (the only one that made it to unstable, so far) from the next version, for I would like to have a consistent set of packages (odr-padenc, alone, does not bring any value).

Let's assume that the reject reason is valid. What is the procedure I must
follow to submit the odr-audioenc package to non-free? Is there any debian
file I must amend for non-free as well ?

Section: non-free/whateversectionyouhavenow


On a more "philisophical" aspect, would it make sense to submit the other 3
odr packages to non-free as well, even if they don't rely on this fdk-aac
library/license, in order to keep software distribution consistency. I would
find rather odd, as a user, to grab 1 package from non-free and the other 3
from main...

Keep them in main if they are free. Putting free software into
non-free will raise a lot more questions.

(You might consider using contrib, but... ymmv.)
