Getting the Debian folks (and thus other downstream distros like Ubuntu, Mint, etc) to take a new version of Chip is pretty strait forward. All that needs to be done is a new OFFICIAL version needs to be published and the maintainer be notified. If Dan and team can do the release, I can work with the package maintainers for Debian, Fedora, etc.

Hi Glenn,
I am glad to hear that you resolved your issue with Ubuntu. Unfortunately the Ubuntu repository installs a very old version of CHIRP (over 3 years old). As you found out you must remove this old version and then add the CHIRP snapshot PPA to your Ubunty (per the instructions on the CHIRP download page) so the latest CHIRP daily build can be installed.
