The install page:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/InstallingGR
currently mentions:
$ apt-get install gnuradio
Given that some people want latest code, it would be useful to have the
packages in jessie-backports and describe that on the wiki too. E.g.
$ apt-get install -t jessie-backports gnuradio
I already mentioned this to Maitland. Having a package in backports
requires some care with ABI compatibility or correct choice of SONAME
but in my opinion, it is entirely possible.
Debian backports gives people the ability to run a very stable OS that
only changes every 2 years (Debian) but always getting very recent
packages, similar to the PPA approach with Ubuntu. In my opinion it is
slightly more convenient than a PPA because the OS is stable for longer
and there are many different things in backports.
Regards,
Daniel
