[chirp_users] ARM Distribution?

Hey Dan,

I think some distros are changing a bit here.. but it really depends on 
their policies.  Seems Debian is using the 11 month old 0.4.0 release:

    https://packages.debian.org/source/jessie/chirp

What they DO have is crawlers that notify the maintainer if new releases 
have been published.  You'll definitely get more modern versions of 
Chirp included with distros if you publish more "official" versions.  
Just think.. you can run Chirp on an IBM S390 or PowerPC!  Woohoo!

IF you look at https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/chirp , you'll 
see that only their bleeding edge repo, Rawhide, gets the dailies.  All 
the other distros seem to get hand-selected versions (seems to be the 
02/29/16 version) for whatever reason.
