Re: [wsjt-devel] WSPR-X in Fedora

[Joe T. <jo...@pr...>]

Hi Jaroslav,

Thanks for your email.  I wish I could have saved you the effort already 
put into this task, because I do not recommend packaging WSPR-X for any 
platform or distribution.  WSPR-X is obsolete, and no longer supported. 
Its functions are limited, and anyway now much better served by WSJT-X.
