That sounds great to me.

Dependencies are ok, albeit obviously on thin ice:

  py27-serial>=2.7:../../comms/py-serial
  py27-future>=0.18.0:../../devel/py-future
  python27>=2.7.1nb2:../../lang/python27
  py27-libxml2>=2.6.27:../../textproc/py-libxml2
  py27-gtk2>=2.24.0nb43:../../x11/py-gtk2

Yes, I plan to basically update the chirp package away from the old one
to be building the bits in chirp-next, but still called chirp, so I'll
be aligned  with your 2024 naming and users wil just see chirp.

That's all fine but I wanted to ask rather than assume I knew what's
going on, because usually that doesn't go so well!
