Build-gnuradio needs updates

GNU Radio
1

Hi all,

I am a newcomer here. I previously use the build-gnuradio script to
get a modern version of gnuradio and UHD. The script did a great job.
But I guess some (small) updates are needed.

One is related to udev conf. I saw the warning while booting my OS
(Fedora 14):

Starting udev: udevd[584]: BUS= will be removed in a future udev
version, please use SUBSYSTEM= to match the event device, or SUBSYSTEMS=
to match a parent device, in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-usrp.rules:3

I searched the web and this page[1] suggests that substitution will
work. But I’m not sure.

Another is with the latest Fedora 16. I plan to upgrade my OS in a few
days(maybe just tomorrow), and the current script only supports up to
Fedora 15…

I don’t have any plans to immediately support F16. If you, or someone
else, wants to send patches, I’m happy to merge them
in. I don’t own any F16 systems myself, and don’t have immediate
plans to upgrade.

On my Gentoo system, I also get the Udev errors,
I don’t know where excacly this comes from (but it is annoying).

It might be part of the build system of the UHD driver, since I haven’t
tried using the script.

Well, build-gnuradio doesn’t support anything other than Ubuntu and
Fedora.

But it sounds like UDEV is migrating to a new syntax for entries in the
config files under /etc/udev/rules.d, and that it’s issuing
preemptive warnings that the old syntax will stop working at some
point.

I’m not sure if the UHD “make install” now also puts in the rules in
/etc/udev/rules.d, if it does, I need to coordinate with Josh
I guess.
