Please sync hamlib 1.2.10-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)
Justification for FFE:
The 'hamlib' package provides core ham radio "rig control" libraries used
by virtually all the ham radio applications which offer rig control.
Upstream development of hamlib has been very active [1,2] but Debian and
Ubuntu have been stuck on an old version for about a year, due to the
retirement of the main Debian uploader for the package. (I have assumed
that role; the 1.2.10-1 release proposed for sync is my packaging).
The new hamlib 1.2.10-1 release at Debian delivers support for many new
ham radio models and important fixes for numerous other radio models.
I have tested the 1.2.10-1 release in Lucid. The package builds and
installs fine [3,4]. I have attached the ouput from a simple library
test of hamlib's CLI utility 'rigctl' [5]. I have also tested the
library with actual ham radios and other applications which use hamlib
(fldigi, grig, my own code).
