Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Trouble with Pybombs 2.0.0

[Martin Braun]

Guys,

thanks for the PyBOMBS feedback. I'm very interested in all issues
people run into.

You might be interested in 'pybombs recipes list', which will tell you
how stuff is installed. At least, which packager recognizes it.

As for uninstalling system-wide through PyBOMBS, that's something we've
had a few discussions about. Keeping track of what PyBOMBS itself
installed isn't really an option, because PB runs in your user space and
apt-get runs in the system domain, but we *could* implement uninstalling
stuff through PyBOMBS that was installed via apt-get.

A test-run feature is a good idea. Would you mind adding it to the issue
tracker: https://github.com/gnuradio/pybombs/issues

The next release will default to installing all hardware + oot packages
from source (gnuradio too), and the rest to system.

The workflow you mention is, indeed, annoying. If you want to control
the packaging type (e.g. source vs. apt-get) on a per-packet basis, you
currently need to edit the config.yml. I'm open for suggestions on how
to improve that, or if it's really such a problem for many people.

Cheers,
Martin
