Fedora 31 Binary Package Error

[Andreas237]

Hi team,
Fresh Fedora 31 and just updated running on bare metal.

System details:

[root@localhost-live liveuser]# uname -a
Linux localhost-live 5.3.7-301.fc31.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Oct 21 19:18:58 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Error:

[root@localhost-live liveuser]# dnf copr enable blockstream/satellite

Do you really want to enable copr.fedorainfracloud.org/blockstream/satellite? [y/N]: y
Error: This repository does not have any builds yet so you cannot enable it now.

I had the exact same issue using a Fedora 28 VM, fully updated as well.

Hi @Andreas237 ,

Thanks for opening the issue. Indeed there were previously no builds for Fedora 31. Originally we only shipped binaries for Fedora 27 and 28. However, these Fedora versions have reached end-of-life since some time now, and so Copr is not maintaining packages for them anymore.

We've just made binaries available for Fedora 30 and Fedora 31. Unfortunately, the gnuradio binaries of Fedora 30 and 31 (version 3.7.13) do not contain the gr-qtgui in-tree module that we use on blocksat-rx-gui and other GUI-based flow graphs. Consequently, the binaries that are now available for fc30 and fc31 only include the non-GUI flowgraphs (i.e. it includes blocksat-rx, but does not include blocksat-rx-gui).

If you have flexibility, Ubuntu 18.04 should be a better distribution/series to work with our binary packages. The binary package there includes all GUI flowgraphs. Alternatively, you can always build from source. In the case of Fedora 30/31, however, you would need to build GNU Radio from source too in order to obtain the GUI tools, which can be time-consuming.

Hope this helps.
