Closed issue by neoklis on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/11431
Description: Hi
Hope I am doing this right ;-)
I recently completed the development of "glrpt" and "mlrpt" which are decoders of LRPT weather images, transmitted by the Russian Meteor-M2 satellite. They quickly became a big success as apparently there are no other similar apps for the purpose, not for Linux anyway.
I had a lot of requests for support by people who needed help to compile and install these in their computers, and I also had requests to add support for Airspy SDR's. For this purpose Airspy donated an R2 and a Mini and eventually I switched to SoapySDR to have a uniform SDR API.
Well, I am only saying all this because I think its good for Void to include these apps in the xbps repository, as Arch Linux has already done, since I have had reports from interested Windoze users, who installed Linux for the first time so they could use them. I also was told by some that they tried Void Linux but could not run glrpt or mlrpt because (they thought) Void didn't have the necessary dependencies.
I am sure they failed only because of luck of experience, expecting a plug-and-play type of installation, e.g. they did not realize they have to manually install dependencies. For these reasons I am suggesting here that glrpt and mlrpt be included in the Void packages. They are on my websites under the menu:
