Hi all,

I have question for pybombs developers/maintainers:  
Is there policy for updating recipes submodule pointer in the pybombs  
repository?

Currently recipes submodule pointer is 29 days behind the head.

Best Regards,  
Piotr K.

Hi,

In case of misunderstanding - I’m not trying to complain about your  
work. Pybombs is great tool that simplifies a lot installation of GNU  
Radio related projects. I need information as a developer of one of such  
projects what are requirements for me in order to make fixes in recipes  
related to my project appear faster in the main pybombs repository.

Best Regards,  
Piotr

I don’t think there is an official policy. I do see that Tim updated  
the recipes pointer a couple of days ago  
([recipe updates · gnuradio/pybombs@97fe3b3 · GitHub](https://github.com/gnuradio/pybombs/commit/97fe3b3846dc1e10123fdc1c218ed94fa8dba63c)).  
.. I suppose I could write a tool to automate bugging people if the  
pointer is more than a week behind the repo.

Generally I try keep all the recipes pointed at HEAD unless there’s a  
compelling reason to stick with a particular revision, so you can  
update your code as often as you like and users should get the latest  
version of your code.

GDB has a ‘break’ feature; why doesn’t it have ‘fix’ too?

To force it to update, git submodule update --remote will do the trick.
