Sure! That is good! :D
If you can add me, I will in a few hours have some free time to merge my fork changes into it.
Also anyone that have a working fork please send the link to the repos so I can check it.

fyi - I just created a librtlsdr organization on github (github.com/librtlsdr http://github.com/librtlsdr) and cloned https://github.com/steve-m/librtlsdr to it.
It would be nice to aggregate a list of the most interesting forks and attempt to merge some of the features and/or fixes in, and possibly get this fork tagged as the canonical fork for packages, users, etc. If we can get some sort of a majority approval that is.
I'll be more than happy to add permissions for people and/or pass it off to someone that might have more time than myself to manage.
cheers, joe

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 <http://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
