I tried the usrp_wfm_rcv.py as a quick sanity check an that works fine, too. Are there any more recommendations as fas as "system test" goes? Is usrp_wfm_rcv.py a good one to use, or are there examples that exercise more of the system?

I would also recommend having the all-in-one (or two) that "pulls in" the other parts, for ease of installation. For example, there are actually 31 Debian packages for the trunk, to split out the various C++ libraries, C++ development headers, Python components, documentation, examples, FPGA firmware, and complete applications. Yet there are three meta-packages that will pull-in (almost) the entire set: 'gnuradio', 'usrp', and 'gnuradio-dev'. Now Debian (and derivatives like Ubuntu) has a very finely grained and pedantic packaging policy that drives this. The customs and conventions of OS/X are unfamiliar to me and I don't know what developers expect. We can incorporate a directory somewhere in the tree to hold your collection of portfiles. If you do this for the trunk, we can backport the changes needed for the 3.1 release branch, ideally during the release candidate series instead of after the release. -- Johnathan Corgan Corgan Enterprises LLC http://corganenterprises.com ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio Release 3.1.0rc0 now available; New Debian package repository
That would be fine by me. MacPorts maintains their own SVN for this purpose, but having 2 locations would also work. I will work on rewriting the portfile to allow installation of individual modules (as dependencies allow). For example, gnuradio- core must be installed first and can be its own portfile. gr-audio- osx would be its own portfile, as would gr-trellis and so forth. I don't think this is too difficult, and it would be convenient. Some parts of Python 2.5 are separated that way (for whatever reason).

On Oct 16, 2007, at 1:25 PM, Johnathan Corgan wrote: I'm not very familiar with MacPorts. What is the pain involved in getting things into the binary format it uses? MacPorts, née DarwinPorts, is a script (acting much like dpkg, dselect, apt-get, synaptic, and so forth) that downloads the source code, applies patches, and then configures, builds, and installs the 'port'. MP is designed to work on Darwin 6 or newer, and OSX 10.3 or newer (and supports a few *BSD*s as well). All of this done via 'portfile' scripts that describe all of the properties for this particular 'port' (not XML, but still a text file that's parsed with keywords and values), such as what other ports this one depends upon, where to get the source file(s) and patches, version, portfile revision and help info, shell environment and commands to use to configure, build, and check the 'port', and so forth. Installs include dependencies, so trying to install wxPython will first install wxWidgets (if not already installed), Python, and anything else needed by those. There is no real pain, usually, since it's just compiling the sources. It's mostly just time waiting around for everything to compile. Sometimes there are options that are not provided by default, that have to be added to the portfile ... such as: I'm using Python 2.5 to get SVN/Trac running, but GNU Radio relies on the Framework install of Python (on OSX only, to get the GUI to display), which isn't provided by the portfile. Thus I've hacked the portfile (and submitted the changes back to the MacPorts folks) to get the framework option to work (and it does, nicely; it's really a simple change to the portfile). Because of the number of ports out there, and the number of developers trying to keep the ports reasonably up to date, sometimes conflicts arise between ports. For example not too long ago when wxWidgets and wxPython were around 2.8.1, one developer updated the portfile for wxPython before the compatible version of wxWidgets was available, and thus broke the install for wxPython. This mattered because there was only 1 portfile for wxWidgets, and another for wxPython; it is impossible to directly install from a previous portfile (you can go into their SVN repository, find the older portfile, download it, put it in the correct location, run 'portindex', and then do the install ... but that's somewhat of a PITA). I have a GNU Radio portfile for 3.0.3, which I will update for 3.1 once it's released, and make available to anyone who wants it (here on the list) as well as try to get it added to the MacPorts portfile list. - MLD ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio

[Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio Release 3.1.0rc0 now available; New Debian package repository
GNU Radio Release 3.1.0rc0 is now available for testing: http://gnuradio.org/releases/gnuradio/gnuradio-3.1.0rc0.tar.gz http://gnuradio.org/releases/gnuradio/gr-howto-write-a-block-3.1.0rc0.tar.gz In addition, binary installation packages now exist for Ubuntu Linux (Debian soon), eliminating the need to install build tools and compile GNU Radio from scratch on this platform. Release 3.1 is the new "stable" branch. Dot releases in this branch will only contain bug fixes and new functionality; no changes will be made that will break existing code compiled against any 3.1.x version. These release candidate tarballs are a snapshot of the current development trunk, with the experimental and in-development features removed. The status of this branch is maintained at: http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/Release3.1Branch As always, it is strongly recommended you completely uninstall any existing version of GNU Radio prior to installing a new version. Please test and report your successes and failures on the list or in Trac. Documentation about the differences between the 3.0 and 3.1 release branches will be added to the release notes as things crisp up. GNU Radio now has experimental binary and source packages in the Debian repository format. These allow you to install GNU Radio onto an Ubuntu Linux or native Debian (soon) distribution without having to perform a source compilation of the tree. In addition, the system package manager is able to identify which runtime dependencies are needed such that these get installed automatically when the GNU Radio packages are installed. Currently, binary and source packages are available for the Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) Linux distribution, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. These packages may work with other Debian derivative operating systems; however, this is untested. Packages for Debian Etch will be forthcoming but are not in the repository yet. Package files have been created for both the 3.1 stable release branch and the unstable development trunk. The stable packages will only be updated at each stable "dot" release. Packages from the trunk will be updated on an irregular basis until we get the package build process automated. Documentation on how to install from the new package repository is here: http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/DebianPackages (Note: We are looking for volunteers who are knowledgeable with the RPM format.)
