[chirp_users] Ubuntu FF with PPA: Unable to locate package chirp-daily?

Wed May 20 14:09:37 PDT 2020

Hi Zap,

Why don't you just download the latest chirp-daily and install it directly?

https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/chirp-daily-20200516.tar.gz

Untar and install.

Or ask the others issued Current Ubuntu which repository is working for
them.

Dan recommends:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chirp-daily

But you've tried this, but every darned repository version fails, most
likely due to a dependency using python that's using a newer version than
chirp-current does.

You might look around to see if Ubuntu has the application pyenv which
allows using specific versions with certain programs.

I'm trying to get that very program working to allow me to use python 3.7
on a distro SLINT (Slackware) that only has python 2.7. Haven't mastered
yet, but I'm stubborn.

Best wishes,

David
