Hi, I have packaged your owx utility to Debian. It is not yet in the main archive as I do not have full rights there yet, but I have published it in Koumbit's debian archive:
http://debian.koumbit.net/debian/pool/main/o/owx/ I have done a few patches to the makefile so it installs cleanly (according to the FHS) on Debian. I have also added a custom wrapper script of my own that makes the operation of my radio much more easy and reliable. I hope those patches can be factored into your code. I have attached them to this message in the hope you can review and approve them, or comment on them if you see any problems. Also, it would be useful for packaging to have clear releases, if not only release dates. I have named the package version after the last commit date. Let me know what you think, A.
