I'm currently maintaining gqrx [1] in [aur]. The pkg has 20 votes and I would like to see it in community. It would be really nice if someone would like to maintain it.
Sure, I would like to do that. And thank you for bringing it to our attention.
You would also also need to maintain some dependencies: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gr-osmosdr/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bladerf/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gr-fcdproplus/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hackrf/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gr-iqbal/
I was planning to at some point (sooner rather than later) bring gr-osmosdr into [community] for better rtl-sdr support. All of those listed deps are required by gr-osmosdr directly. GQRX could basically get in "for free" after gr-osmosdr is packaged.
My plan is to first package gr-osmosdr as an optdep for Gnu Radio.
It also might be a good idea to strip down gnuradio's optdeps a bit by creating a splitpkg for gnuradio-companion with non-optional deps to the gnuradio optdeps, that are currently only needed by companion.
Then I can look at GQRX, but I don't see any problems on the horizon.
