May be there is a workaround to avoid this bug on these arch's. This is not relevant - just let you know. 73, Ervin ___ Tlf-devel mailing list Tlf-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tlf-devel
[Tlf-devel] v1.4 topics
Hi Tom,
Some topics from my backlog:
* improve the "grab a spot while in run mode" use case:
- while CQing user grabs a spot using Alt-G
- mode switches to Log, freq is saved
- change: as soon as the QSO is logged (or Esc'ed) mode+freq
switch back automatically
(i.e. no need to press # and +)
- advanced mode: if supported by radio VFO-B
could be used to receive both freqs.
* grab on-screen spots only ("WYSIWYG"):
- use case: screen is full of cluster spots; user wants to jump to DL1ABC;
by mistake types DL2; Alt-G jumps to DL2XYZ that is also spotted
but was not visible.
result: user is confused.
- on the other hand jumping to an off-screen spot could make sense
if one knows from another source that the station was spotted.
* switch to hamlib's freq_t for frequencies:
tlf currently typically uses kHz values as floats

Re: [Tlf-devel] TLF-1.3.1 release
Hi Tom. One thing you might consider is adding an MD5SUM file and a SHA1SUM file with those respective signatures in each. Optionally, you can sign all the files with your GPG key as well. Doing so just provides a bit of extra assurance that you're indeed to the source of the files and that they've not been tampered with even though I think a ham radio logger is a rather low attack vector, but... 73, Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
