Package: hackrf Version: 2018.01.1-2 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: andrew.hak...@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer, hackrf utilities 2018.01.1-2 (as available in the latest package in SID) has a USB interface bug wich causes kernel panics when the hackrf tools are invoked multiple times for tx or rx, such as through automation. When running the tools by hand, this bug shows up very infrequently, (maybe less than once a month), but when automating any of the hackrf tools, becomes a much larger issue. Kernel panics happen every few hours when running the tools ~ 4 times / minute. This is already fixed in the HackRF github, but an updated debian package would be most welcome. A new hackrf board firmware is also required, and is quite the pain to compile in Debian currently (depends on python2, which while installable, has no pip available anymore, and it also depends on python(2)-yaml, which has no debian package anymore, and because there's no pip for python2 is not easy to install). If a board firmware file could also be included in the package, or in a separate package ready to flash with hackrf_spiflash which is already part of this package, that would save some effort currently required workin around the packaging system. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.7.12-towo.3-siduction-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages hackrf depends on: ii libc6 2.31-2 ii libfftw3-single3 3.3.8-2 ii libhackrf0 2018.01.1-2 ii libusb-1.0-0 2:1.0.23-2 hackrf recommends no packages. hackrf suggests no packages.
