If you had .deb for the Debian based and .rpm for the Red Hat based, wouldn't that take care of most of them? Ideally, there should be a radio amateur area in the universe for the Debian's at least. I am not sure how it is maintained as it seems almost magical compared to hunting around for MS

Maybe this is a dumb question, but once someone compiles a program for Linux and includes the dependencies, wouldn't this be easily shared between users? Can't they then put this in their depository for that particular Linux distribution? Even if you don't have it in your particular universe

This is just what package managers do. There are two main package managers: Debainls deb format and Red Hat's RPM. Debian historically did a better job on resolving dependencies at installation time (as opppsed to just reporting them), but part of that ability was due to Debian have a good

Very interesting and informative information, Leigh. I did not realize how proprietary things were in the earlier times. The merging of the ODSL (Open Source Development Labs) and the FSG (Free Standards Group) into the Linux Foundation and the attempt to try and bring increased

But that still doesn't preclude amateur radio operators from have a place to store compiled applications for their distro. There would of course have to be as many major directories as Linux distros and sub directoried for the various releases of the distro. if the amateur radio application

That would be a good reason to install Puppy but as I understand it, Puppy is limited in that most don't consider it a full distribution. Walt/K5YFW kd4e wrote: Maybe this is a dumb question, but once someone compiles a program for Linux and includes the dependencies, wouldn't this be easily

If you get the things into the distribution, all these problems go away. Hamish Moffat has laudably done this and is a package maintainer for several programs. He does the work, and we all benefit. At least all Debian users. Personally I don't think all that AX25 stuff is all that useful,

I pushed forward to a new repository (sdr_linux) today. Frank and I did the dsp/sdr code and Eric Wachsman and Flex did just about 100% of the hardware code in support of the SDR-1000. It runs on linux, cygwin on MS and native on MS (using the MSVS 2005 express) and probably OSX. It drives
