Re: GNU Radio PPA packages for Ubuntu Available

[Marcus Müller]

Hi Josh, hi Community,

I feel this is a bit of a bigger deal than what your email would lead
people to supposed:

This makes it trivial to use the latest version of GNU Radio, without
being able to build GNU Radio yourself. Kind of a big deal, as I hope 
a) it will reduce the entry barrier and
b) it will take a fair bit of our support workload from our shoulders.

Thank you and everyone involved with this!

I'm very much looking forward to the COPR (as I like Fedora).

Cheers,
Marcus
