I'm maintaining these packages in Debian.

We're using the sources that are available at www.linux-ax25.org/pub/ for
libax25, ax25-tools and ax25-apps. If you're aware of a more maintained
fork, please let me know. If this is the one you're going to use then that's
probably the best thing to do if you're not aware of anything better.

I'm currently working on building local packages from here:

He has renamed two of the packages to remove the "-", obviously libax25 didn't have one to begin with. Since I don't want to go through renaming the packages in Fedora (requires re-review) I'm doing git exports and putting the hyphen back in.

It's worth the time to go read through the ChangeLog, he does a good job of documenting the changes.

It would be nice if both Debian and Fedora had the same upstreams for
libax25 at least.

I agree that would be best.

Thanks,
