Please let me know if there's interest so I know if this is something I should continue to do. I setup a COPR for Fedora (29->Rawhide) and EL 8 to build the alphas that Dave regularly posts to the linuxham list so even if you don't have the ability to build them from source yourself you can still participate in the testing of these alpha releases. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hobbes1069/NBEMS-testing/ Currently I'm only building fldigi and flrig as I believe they are the most popular projects in the NBEMS suite of programs by far, but I'm willing to add others if there is interest. Keep in mind these are alpha and there may be dragons :) So make sure you know how to downgrade a package if needed. Currently I'm building the packages manually when I see the emails, there is nothing automated at this time. If I miss one you want to test a simple email ping is usually sufficient.
