Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] New version of build-gnuradio

[S Haque]

Hi Marcus, is there a handy release note that matches this new version of
"build-gnuradio" script? If we had an previous installation on our system
(say: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS or 11.xx) are there any prerequisite steps that we
have/should to do before adopting this script - or, should we only use the
new script for fresh installations from now on?

I did notice a small issue, but probably over the next few months this can
be worked out: There are several key locations for the files that GNU Radio,
UHD, others install in a single system:

Documentation
UHD binaries
GNU radio binaries
GNU Radio XML scripts
GNU Radio python scripts
Etc.
Etc.

Given the increased trend to adopt GNU radio as both development and
production systems, is there a possibility that we may have to adopt/or need
to confirm adoption of a particular file system / repository /
documentation/ directory standard? See
http://garrett.damore.org/fsstnd/fsstnd.html for a historical perspective
that is not always found in custom distributions such as Ubuntu. For many of
you, using Sun workstations, you also know the importance of using the /opt
tree for all custom package installs. 

Marcus, thank you for your hard work. I actually have a relatively simple
addon to your script in alpha testing, that uses the dialog
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2807 package (a modern version) to give
a user-friendly list of all available "tags" that can be chosen, and then
present that chosen set to the next installation module for installation.
Obviously I haven't yet fully integrated it, but if you allow, I could share
it with you at a later date - as an option to allow the user to choose from
the various interim releases easily. Let me know if you are interested, and
if anyone has any issues with the Linux: Dialog utility, please let me know
as well.  Is this now universally available on various OSes? Alternatively,
I could use plain old BASH to provide a less than pretty user interface.
Comments welcome.

Subject: [Discuss-gnuradio] New version of build-gnuradio

Includes two new options:  -ut <UHD-git-tag>     and  -gt <GnuRadio-git-tag>

Which arranges to build particular GIT tags, rather than whatever is at
HEAD.
