Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] [PyBOMBS] Need your help!

I just installed GR using Pybombs on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 (16.04 not 14.04) with no problems.

Hi all -

Some great discussion here.

We have talked about adding a "dry-run" option to PyBOMBS a couple of times in the past. It sounds like a number of folks think it would be useful, here, too.

With regard to using PyBOMBS on 'antiquated' OSes - one of the original purposes of PyBOMBS, actually, was to make it easier to maintain GNU Radio installations on these old OSes. I believe at its inception PyBOMBS needed to support RHEL4, actually.

How long we should support otherwise obsolete OSes is a conversation worth having. There are enough users that need to build on legacy systems that I think it's an important function to consider.

Cheers,

Ben
