[Dave Hibberd <1896318@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It'd be really helpful if my MUA offered reply to list but it was the
bug and not the ubuntu-hams list!

Take 2, this time to the bug report...

I've had a couple of requests for this in Debian - it has a dependency
on something called nwjs[1] which currently isn't packaged in the debian
repos, so this becomes a bigger challenge to package!  I'm reluctant to
own nwjs as it's only used for this and I'm not fully committed to it,
but it might make for an interesting friday night project.

I think adding it to our repos is worth it however - purely becaue the
'install from repo' option that the gridtracker team currently ships I
*think* uses a preinstall script to download and install nwjs, which
breaks apt if you've got poor internet connectivity - I learned this on
a field op last week! It was not a great user-experience to think "Oh
well never mind, I can't pull ~120MB, let's use something else" and then
have to do it *anyway* to download anything else.

Cheers,
H
