[chirp_users] Installing chirp on Fedora 33
Fedora used to package chirp, but removed it in Fedora 31 (along with most python2 packages)
I found a way to install it :
sudo dnf install pygtk2 # this includes python2
python2 -m ensurepip --user export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin pip2 install pyserial --user
# get the latest chirp tarball from https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST , eg : u0=chirp-daily-20210310 url0=https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/$u0.tar.gz wget -O - $url0 | tar xz cd $u0
python2 setup.py install --user This give an error : ImportError: No module named libxml2 , so I edit chirp/drivers/generic_xml.py and comment out "import libxml2" (on line 17) and rerun : python2 setup.py install --user

I was the maintainer. Now I just use the flatpak. Easier than installing EOL Python on your system and effectively runs in a container.

Thanks, Richard KF5OIM
However, it doesn't auto-update and I presumably have to go through the whole install routine every few days.

Nope, but I just look at the changelog and if it doesn't affect me I skip that update.
Thanks, Richard KF5OIM
Yeah, saw that, but I'm a flatpak noob and got an error message :
# flatpak install chirp-daily-20210310.flatpak
error: The application com.danplanet.chirp/x86_64/master requires the runtime org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/19.08 which was not found
... so I got python2 / pip2 to work and thought I'd document it.
On a related topic, is there a python3 port of chirp ...?
Thanks, Ken

Hmmmm,
Sounds like it’s time to upgrade python on the developer end. Hardly anyone uses Python2 these days. I just installed SLINT (Slackware for the blind) on my laptop and python2 was not included in any of the build libraries. So, I am going to have to find python2 and install it as a secondary just to get chirp working. Otherwise, I have no way to program any of my radios (no accessibility on the other two platforms). If this isn’t the worlds biggest hint that things need to be updated, then I don’t know what is (other than a 6 mile wide rock plummeting in from space and destroying the planet).

I still use Ubuntu 18 so I can use the old chirp. I don't need any of the chirp updates. Glenn ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Oyen via chirp_users To: Discussion of CHIRP Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2021 11:36 PM Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Installing chirp on Fedora 33
