I still use Ubuntu 18 so I can use the old chirp.
I don't need any of the chirp updates.

Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Installing chirp on Fedora 33


Hmmmm,


Sounds like it’s time to upgrade python on the developer end. Hardly anyone 
uses Python2 these days. I just installed SLINT (Slackware for the blind) on my 
laptop and python2 was not included in any of the build libraries. So, I am 
going to have to find python2 and install it as a secondary just to get chirp 
working. Otherwise, I have no way to program any of my radios (no accessibility 
on the other two platforms). If this isn’t the worlds biggest hint that things 
need to be updated, then I don’t know what is (other than a 6 mile wide rock 
plummeting in from space and destroying the planet).

  Yeah, saw that, but I'm a flatpak noob and got an error message :


    # flatpak install chirp-daily-20210310.flatpak
    error: The application com.danplanet.chirp/x86_64/master requires the 
runtime org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/19.08 which was not found


  ... so I got python2 / pip2 to work and thought I'd document it.


  On a related topic, is there a python3 port of chirp ...?


  Thanks,
  Ken

      Fedora used to package chirp, but removed it in Fedora 31 (along with 
most python2 packages)

      I found a way to install it :


    I was the maintainer. Now I just use the flatpak. Easier than installing 
EOL Python on your system and effectively runs in a container.
