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

[Nolan Darilek]

While I'm highly sympathetic to all sides of this issue, I will note 
that WINE isn't screen-reader-accessible in the way Orca + current CHIRP 
is. As of now, CHIRP is the only way I have of accessibly programming 
some radios under Linux.


I wish I had the time and energy to volunteer to help CHIRP and about a 
dozen other causes. But I do hope we can figure out a way to stop 
kicking this Python migration can down the road. In the meantime, we 
should probably actively encourage use of Flatpak/AppImages over, well, 
just about everything else. One single semi-official flatpak repo is 
going to be a whole lot less trouble than a variety of 
haphazardly-maintained PPAs, COPRs, Debian repos, AUR repos (unless the 
Arch folks just install it manually anyway... :)
