Package for Debian?

[petterreinholdtsen]

Hi. I've been experimenting with this package, and am considering to package it for Debian. Is the package actively maintained? Are you interested in helping to make this become a reality?

I've been able to get it built and running, and was even able to send a (garbled) message to my old pager. I guess it need more work before it send the correct charset or something, but it seem useful enough for me to want to upload it to Debian.

I'll actively help fix broken things given enough detail, but I haven't had time to put much more effort into it lately. If you have details on what the charsets are or how to encode them, definitely let's figure that out.

Somewhere I have a branch with Golay (message only) working, as well. Haven't pushed that since I need to tweak the encoding code to remove a non-free dependency.

If you think people will actually use a debian package (there are pybombs recipes already), I'm happy to help if I can..

Great. I have no idea what the problem really is, but start to suspect my pager unit is sick, and the transmission is OK. Will try to find another unit to see if it work better.

Aha.

Well, I would use the Debian package, at least. :) One thing you could do to help is to ensure all the source files that can have it, include copyright and licensing information. My favorite would be headers that could be automatically detected using for example debmake -cc. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen

Another thing you could do to help is close the solved github issues and pull requests, to make it easier to figure out the state of the project.

btw, if there is something wrong with my pull requests, please let me know.

Ping?

Sorry! Was out of town for several days and away from all of my SDRs; I promise I'll clean this up tomorrow.

Thank you. Btw, would it be possible to combine the two gnu radio companion recipes into one, where a command line parameter select between the two radio sinks?

Also, could you make the baud rate and other relevant settings into parameters, to be able to set them on the command line?

Hi. Any news?

Hi. Should the silence worry me regarding future maintainence of this package if it end up in Debian? Or was my explanations on how to help to confusing for you to know where to start?
