I'm sorry to have to get back to this topic, but I

re-introduce support for "old" UHD versions in osmo-trx. It is creating
too much fall-out and breakage down the road.
Understood. The more recent 3.9 series of UHD releases is the
recommended version by Ettus Research and the reason behind the recent
change, however, enforcing the requirement seems to create as many
issues as it solves.

osmo-trx to support older UHD versions.
I briefly looked into the PPA approach, but did not arrive at any
obvious solution. I am not opposed to reintroducing older version
support.
So if I read this correctly, with a few #ifdefs, even
multi-carrier can
be supported?
Some features will likely be disabled with older UHD versions. Some
amount of investigation and testing will be needed to clarify
feature-version dependencies. I am looking into those dependencies
now.
