I'm not really the best person to say anything regarding Windows support. If you register an osmocom.org wiki account, I'm happy to give you wiki editing permissions. The way how redmine works though is that the attachment 2242 is that one old version that was uploaded. If you remove it and upload a new version, it will have a different attachment number. What we can do is to have something like a symlink from https://ftp.osmocom.org/binaries/windows/rtl-sdr/rtl-sdr-64bit-weekly.zip and https://ftp.osmocom.org/binaries/windows/rtl-sdr/rtl-sdr-32bit-weekly.zip which then points to whatever is the most current weekly version. This way any 3rd party software should be updated to use those links. If this sounds like a good idea, feel free to create a related issue on osmocom.org and assign it to user osmith, who is doing most of our CI related work. > And secondly, how often does the rtl-sdr apt-get package on Linux get > updated, and who would need to be informed for that to happen? This depends on where the package originates from. It's usually safe to assume most people use the package from the respective distribution, so the policy of if and when that gets updated relies with Debian, Ubuntu, etc. for the given release (like Debian 10, 11, 12). In addition, osmocom is publishing its own package feeds for a variety of Linux distributions; one for the latest (released) version, and one for a nightly build, see https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Latest_Builds and https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Nightly_Builds respectively. For the nightly build, your patch is already included. For the "latest", it depends on when steve-m decides to tag a new version of rtl-sdr. The latest package then gets automatically updated. -- - Harald Welte <lafo...@osmocom.org> https://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
