Ok, good deal. I'm still cutting my teeth on all the moving parts. Today I
learned that direwolf is really only useful for packet, which means only
VHF/UHF for Winlink. For HF you need ARDOP as Winmor is no longer used.
Unfortunately it doesn't compile. A whole lot of issues with, "multiple
definition of..."  Right now I'm trying brute force adding "static" to some
of the definitions to get it to compile. Not sure yet if I've broken
anything.


I'm also interested in packaging pat.  At best I could tell, go-lang

Ok, good deal!
