The chirp package is now available in the Ubuntu-hams PPA for all<br>
Ubuntu series except Karmic, which is still building.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-hams/+archive/ppa/" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-hams/+archive/ppa/</a><br>
<br>
Information about how to subscribe to this PPA is included at the link.<br>
<br>
The Ubuntu-Hams PPA includes a lot of other ham software which<br>
the ubuntu-hams team backports from the latest release to older<br>
Ubuntu Series. These include chirp, d-rats, fldigi, cqrlog, hamlib, and more.<br>
<br>
If you're using Ubuntu, this PPA is a good source of the latest<br>
package updates.<br>

joining Ubuntu-hams:<br>
