Re: [chirp_devel] [PATCH] Adding INSTALL, README, and README.support files

Weird. I don't have python-suds installed, yet Chirp seems to work just fine. What part of the code depends on python-suds?

Well, it doesn't depend on it, in the strict sense of the word.

The radioreference driver uses it, but gracefully handles the case where it's missing. Since it's available on debian, there's not much reason not to include it in the list, although you could mark it as optional if you like.
