Hi, I made a snap [1] package for the RTL-SDR tools. The package has "strict" confinement, which allows installing it on any supported distro.
I tested it on Ubuntu 21.10 (on amd64) and Ubuntu Core on a Raspberry Pi (my main use case for the packaging is to be able to run rtl_tcp on the latter). Would you consider merging this to the repo and possibly publishing snap packages on the Snap Store as part of the regular release process? Cheers, -Alberto [1] https://snapcraft.io/docs
