But, the rtl-sdr currently available in Debian unstable, testing and jessie-backports include current git HEAD code - v0.5.3-12-ge3c03f7. (based upon git://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr.git) So, while the Debian source package starts from the v0.5.3 tag, I use the 3.0 (quilt) source format to also include more recent git commits. https://sources.debian.net/src/rtl-sdr/0.5.3-5/debian/patches/ Ubuntu Wily Werewolf and Xenial Xerus also contain rtl-sdr based on v0.5.3-12-ge3c03f7. A release would be good. I'd be happy to reduce the amount of stuff in the debian/ packaging directory - the various man pages could be adopted upstream, as well as the improve-librtlsdr-pc-file and improve-scanning-range-parsing patches. And a gpg signed tarball release, or even just a gpg signed tag would be a help in establishing source code integrity. A new release for osmocom might indeed help synchronize the various distributions. Thanks for keeping me informed, -Maitland
