[chirp_devel] Here we go...

[Tony Fuller]

Hey Dan,

Following up, I have no problem with maintaining the other distribution methods and I see you have a python3 wheel posted now, so really the other distribution methods aren't a necessary evil anymore, aside from those wishing for auto-updates (snap) or a more portable solution (appimage). We'll see what happens with flaptak -- I'm not really sure what the benefit is there.

At any rate, I looks like you're missing a depenency on python3-requests in your setup.py file ;) CHIRP doesn't get past the check-for-new-version function without the requests module.

Also, will you be re-adding the `share/` directory back into the repo? Pieces there are used in the AppImage, specifically the chirp.png. If you want to keep your repo clean of non-source files that's perfectly fine. I can just add what I need from the python wheel.

Thanks,
Tony

I figure that for the moment, being much easier to install on Linux without heavy lifting was "good enough" for power users looking to be on the edge. But enough people seem to like the flatpak (at least) that it's worth us doing that going forward. And when I say "us" I mean "you, if you're willing" :)
