… for gr-blocks/grc/\*.xml I updated my local source codebase a coupla days ago, and I’m tootling around in GRC to see if I can find a vector signal probe. Oh, look, there’s one. So I use it. But today, I noticed that it wasn’t actually under any categories, I’d just found it through ‘CTL-S’ in the blocks “pallete” frame in GRC. So, presumably, those will get “turned on” (explicitly listed in categories) in “next”, but they’re there if you trip over them in “master”. Having tripped over blocks\_probe\_signal\_vx, I don’t want it to go away, because, well it’s awfully useful for one of the trippy things I’m doing in simple\_ra now 🙂 – Marcus L.

So, if I check out ‘v3.6.4.1’, I get said block in the search results, but it doesn’t appear in any categories, and there’s no “Measurement Tools” category. But build HEAD, and it is all as you say. The build-gnuradio script now fetches the most recent tagged version, rather than HEAD. Which is why I was checking on things… – Marcus L.

According to the document sheet linked in that above page, the blocks\_probe\_signal\_[v]x should be located under the ‘Measurement Tools’ category. If this isn’t the case, it’s a mistake and should be corrected. But you can use that document to cross reference where things should be located. I emailed out a list of the blocks that were slatted for removal a while ago to ask if anyone was using them. No on responded, so they were axed in 3.7 (still around in 3.6). We’re going to put up another document once we’ve sorted it out and cleaned it up to make it readable by people other than Johnathan, myself, and scholars of ancient and cryptic languages. This one will list where all the blocks came from and when to in the modules/namespaces/components, including any that were removed. (The probe\_signal block is not being removed.) Tom ---

Which is why I was checking on things… It might be more useful to have it retrieve the HEAD of the maint branch. This is the last stable release + all the bug fixes since then.
