Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] [UHD] 3.11.0.0 Release Announcement

[Martin Braun]

Two more comments:

- Binary installers are currently building and will be made available
shortly on the usual spots: Ubuntu PPA is here:
https://launchpad.net/~ettusresearch/+related-packages

...and Windows+Fedora binaries will be published here:
http://files.ettus.com/binaries/uhd/uhd_003.011.000.000-release/

(but aren't there yet).

- Because we changed out dev model, you will need to manually reset
maint branch if you're tracking that on git. The following commands will
work:

$ git checkout maint
$ git remote update
$ git reset --hard @{u}

Cheers,
Martin
