Hello All,
Per a discussion with Joe, he's we've locked into WSPR v4.0 svn r4215
for submission to Debian. The Ubuntu 14.10 import freeze (from Debian)
is August 7th. Kamal has already looked at a previous package and things
semed ok for the most part. If all goes well, we should hit the UBuntu
import milestone.
What this means is, WSPR will be available in the 14.10 repo's which
feeds Mint and many others, the same as Debian feeds some 120+ distros.
To my knowledge, this is the first inclusion of WSPR for Debian &
Friends. Also, I believe Richard has a package working for Fedora as well.
For the interim, you can install the PPA from my launchpad account if
desired. At some point, we'll also make the .deb files (i386, amd64)
available for direct installation, but I still need to discuss that with
Joe.
This applies to Ubuntu 14.04, Mint-17 and other distros based on 14.04
repos.
*To Install from the PPA*
Open a terminal, then:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ki7mt/wspr
.. the system will fetch the signing key, you may be prompted to accept
them. You can verify it against my Launchpad public key if you have
concerns.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wpsr
*To Run*
From the command line, just type: wspr
From Unity Dash, search WSPR
From Applications, HamRadio, Audio, AudioVideo, should be under one of
them, select WSPR
*Runtime & Other Note(s)
*1). If you want to see the command terminal (audio status, upload event
messages, etc), you should run WSPR from a terminal rather than starting
from the Menus or Unity Launcher if you use Ubuntu Unity, as the
desktop.entry is set for terminal = false to prevent focus being placed
on the terminal v.s. WSPR UI
2). If you decide to remove WSPR (uninstall), even if using the --purge
option, "none" of your local files will be removed. This is by design.
Only the system files are removed.
3), All local files are stored in /home/<user-name>/.wspr. To completely
remove WSPR, after system removal, simply delete the folder: rm -r
/home/<user-name>/.wspr
4). Updates will be provided as needed, and installed in the usual
manner (sudo apt-get update). There will be a wspr-dev version to allow
running both the current release version (from the repo's / PPA) as well
as the latest development version (from SVN). This will be implemented
after formal acceptance into Debian / Ubuntu repos.
5). Once 14.10 is released, you can remove the PPA + WSPR PPA
installation, and install diectly from the repos if desired, or carry on
with the PPA, they should match up, it's up to you.
As always, if you have any problems or issues, post them to the
development group.
