Barry,

GNU Radio as of 3.5 is still officially an autotools build project. The
cmake is technically an experimental build, so we don't package it up
with the releases. You can use git and checkout the v3.5.1 tag to get
the latest stable version with cmake.

We should be moving over to cmake-only when we release 3.6.

Tom,
Many thanks - that is just what I need.

This seems to do the job, but please confirm that I have it right, and that there is not a simpler way, as I'm not conversant with git ;)

#!/bin/bash
ver="3.5.1"
name="gnuradio"
git clone http://${name}.org/git/${name}.git
cd ${name}
git checkout v${ver}
git archive --format=tar --prefix=${name}-${ver}/ v${ver} | \
gzip > ../${name}-${ver}.tar.gz

That looks like it should work. I actually have our Jenkins system auto build and package up the master branch weekly. You can find them under the "Development" heading here:

I use pretty much the same thing you did to tarballs. Just remember that these ones here are based of the latest git HEAD version, not any tagged version, which is why they are development builds.
