Are you working on the 3.5 package now? I have done some tweaks to the control file on my side, and completely flushed the rules file down to just the dh(7) template, and it actually builds! I had to fiddle with the *.install files to fix some stuff and also remove the *usrp* packages, but it's otherwise starting to look good. Is there a git repo you're working on for this?

I should ITP that soon. now *that* is also completely amazing, glad to see that. i had an ITP for something similar (i *think*) here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=645333 but now i think it'd be more productive to work on gnuradio... thanks for the feedback, A. -- Wherever they's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever they's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. If Casy knowed, why, I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad an' I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry an' they know supper's ready. An' when our folks eat the stuff they raise an' live in the house they build, why I'll be there. - John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath
