[chirp_users] Chirp-Next updates?
It seems I am stuck at version 3.17 despite running:
*sudo snap refresh chirp-snap*
I always receive the reply:
*snap "chirp-snap" has no updates available*
What am I doing wrong?

As far as I know, the CHIRP project has never provided an official snap-build. However, back when I was running the snap build of the legacy CHIRP on Linux Mint 21, I added "--channel=latest/edge" to my command to make sure I received the latest snap build available. YMMV
sudo snap refresh chirp-snap --channel=latest/edge

OK Chip, that's good to know in case I have to revert back to the snap-installed version. Fighting now to try to get the python-wheels setup working..
73, Jerry

OK Chip, that's good to know in case I have to revert back to the snap-installed version.
The snap and flatpak were largely created for legacy chirp because the distros were removing the underlying platform that we had to use, and those formats provided us a way to bundle them. There are other reasons to run those packages, but for modern chirp-next, I really think you should install from source and follow our instructions here:
https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux
It's validated on ubuntu and derivatives (and now Fedora, thanks to Jeff) so it should work for you. It's much easier to iterate on problems you have when starting from a known-working formula than going it alone.
Also, I could be wrong, but I think the snap that Tony is publishing is still legacy chirp, so installing it will set you back a lot from where everyone else is right now.

Installed the newest version now on RaspPi3B+..all good!
Thanx Dan!
