I'd appreciate help on getting my aprsdigi (http://aprsdigi.sf.net) under Fedora RPM maintenance. I got started learning how to become a Fedora-hams packager but it seemed this group had gone silent when I tried to contact some of the listed managers. I build RPMs myself and use Cobbler with whatever the latest Fedora distro is to PXE-boot install digipeaters. 73 de Alan N2YGK On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 2:08 PM, Richard Shaw <hobbes1069@gmail.com> wrote:

Since there has been a little activity on the list lately I figured I would introduce myself.

I've been using RH/Fedora since RH 6.0 but came back to linux around the time Fedora 10 was released.

A couple of years ago (Maybe 3 now?) I became a Fedora packager and a little later one at RPM Fusion.

I became a "ham" in Feb 2012 (my dad, NF4H, has been one since before I was born) and finally got into digital about 8 months ago after building a interface box for my old Ten-Tec 540. Since it wasn't designed for digital I had to got beyond a simple serial PTT and included a relay to swtich from the mic to the computer and a 90dB attenuator since it's a mic level input. Works pretty good!

I now help maintain several ham related packages... fldigi, nec2c, xnec2c, LinLog, hamlib (for EPEL 6), and qsstv.

On a side note I've got fldigi in EPEL 6 but it's stuck at 3.21.72 because the newer versions dropped support for fltk 1.1 and one of the maintainers of a package that depends on fltk doesn't want to deal with updating his packages to work with fltk 1.3.

Thanks, Richard KF5OIM
