chirp is a programming tool for HTs that supports a bunch of radios. For a lot of 2 meter radios it's way, way, way easier to deal with than punching buttons on the front panel.
It looks like chirp got pulled from Fedora 31 because at the time it was dependent on Python 2, which was EOL.
Fast forward a couple of releases, and now chirp is based on Python 3. Would it be of interest to try packaging it again? Richard KF5OIM (hobbes1069) looks like he was in the midst of the 2019 discussion. The new Chirp instructions at
https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux
specifically say "tested on Fedora 37" and give Python 3 dependencies.
There's a review request stalled here from 2020 when someone else was going to try and revive it. I noticed the new version but also they were making a lot of commits. I was going to wait until things slowed down before thinking of packaging it.
I've only got about 5% of the time I used to for packaging activities so I'm not sure when I'll get around to it. Thanks, Richard KF5OIM
