[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build now available

All,

Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build are now available in the 
KK7DS Ham-Apps yum repository. To add the repository as a software source, 
please follow these instructions:
http://www.d-rats.com/component/content/article/30-d-rats-yum-repository/

I know it says d-rats, the chirp files are in the same repository.

After setting up the repository, open the "Add/Remove Software" tool and go to 
"software sources" under the system menu. Make sure the "KK7DS Ham Apps Beta 
Software" line is checked (enabled).

For some reason, the Fedora package manager likes the beta versions better that 
the daily builds, so you may not see the daily release in the list the first 
time you update. If you don''t see it, open a terminal window and enter:
yum update chirp-daily_20120529
Or:
yum update chirp-daily_20120529-1.fc16

That should install the latest daily build.

For those who don''t wish to use the repository but still want the RPM (binary 
or source), please look here:

Fedora users should be aware that Fedora Core version 17 (fc17) is about  to be 
released. Fedora Core version 17 RPMs for CHIRP and D-RATS may be  found at:

Happy Testing,
Mike, N0SO
