Gnuradio module version assignments

G’day,

As GNU Radio now ships in a mega-tarball, which version numbers are
assigned
to the individual modules? Are they pulled inline with the version
number of
the release, e.g. gr-audio-oss-3.0.1?

That’s the way I’d do it. (version set in Makefil.common, and pull
from that in individual pkg Makefiles). I’d name the packages after
each directory, 1-1. I bet you can put most things in Makefile.common
and just have the name, the configure variable to enable, and the
dependencies in each individual Makefile.

Probably we need a convention to describe how each module within the
tarball depends on others. Perhaps this should be machine readable,
and just be a file GNURADIO_DEPENDENCIES, with one directory name per
line. It would list all the modules that need to be directly present,
meaning a .h file is used, or a library is linked against. (This
matches pkgsrc’s semantics for dependencies, and seems sensible.)

What are people doing when packaging for various GNU/Linux flavors and
other systems?

There is only one revision number used in the whole archive; the
sub-modules don’t have a separate version number. Or, you could say,
every module has the identical 3.0.1 revision.
