Since you're seeing py3dev I assume that means you're building directly from git? Why?

I'd like to piggy back on this conversation. Dan, would it be possible to publish a file or set up a redirect for package maintainers to get to the latest release tar ball that is posted on the downloads page? Maybe I've just overlooked it, but I haven't come across anything like that. git seems to be the easiest place to get the latest sources.

If there was a URL like `https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_next/latest` which either contained simple text or redirected to "https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_next/next-YYYYMMDD/chirp-next-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz" that would really help out, at least from what I've seen with snap, flatpak and appimage building thus far.
