Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] [GSoC2019]: First report from Bowen

Hi Johannes,

I've agreed with Bowen that for the time being, he'll be developing an
OOT for the versions available currently through Linux distros. So,
3.7.13.x it is – the porting to 3.8 OOTs can be done later.

As much I need people to test the 3.8 OOT structure, it's my
responsibility to shield Bowen from trying to many untested things at
once; hope you understand.

Generally, in the GNU Radio world I envision, people will very rarely
be forced to do a source build of GNU Radio itself :)

Best regards,
Marcus
