Last friday was a holiday, so I sat and finished creating debian packages for some of the pending gnuradio packages. Some more packages need to be created, but with the ones in the alioth archive, one can create a working gnuradio system on a Debian i386 machine. Atleast I hope so.

I have filed a bug for removal of 0.9 version gnuradio packages from the archive, so that I can upload the vastly reworked and superior 2.x packages.

Today, Indian subcontinent was "attacked" from all the sides by Tsunami and thousands of people are dead or homeless or are missing. Earthquakes measuring around 8.4 on the ritchter scale was measured on many areas and most coastal areas of India are submerged in water. I am concerned about the VU4 expedition which is currently on at Andaman Nicobar islands, where floods are worse. Some of the VU4 crew are my close friends. I hope they are safe.
