Debian Hamradio Blend — complete task inventory¶
Generated by scripts/gen_blend_inventory.py from the Blend's own task
files. Do not edit by hand — regenerate.
Source: https://salsa.debian.org/blends-team/hamradio/-/raw/master/tasks
Fetched: 2026-08-25
Format: https://blends.debian.org/blends/1.1
Per docs/SCOPE.md this is the cheapest coverage in the project and the
best provenance: team-governed, signed, machine-readable, and every entry
is already in Debian. Complete, not sampled.
Summary¶
| Count | |
|---|---|
| Tasks | 12 |
| Package entries | 160 |
| Unique packages | 152 |
| Packages in more than one task | 8 |
| Relation | Count | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
Recommends |
155 | installed by default; removable |
Suggests |
5 | offered, not installed |
Note the Blend uses Recommends almost exclusively. Its metapackages
are opt-out rather than opt-in, which is the opposite of the profile model
in D-003 — worth knowing before importing the task structure wholesale.
Packages appearing in more than one task¶
Direct evidence for D-003: the Blend's own categories overlap and do not nest. These are tags, not a tree.

Cross-reference with AHRL¶
Derived, not typed. Regenerating this file recomputes it.
- Blend unique packages: 152
- AHRL apt package names: 37
- Installed by both, same apt name: 20
- Blend packages AHRL does not install at all: 132
The finding that matters for M3 scope¶
11 of AHRL's 35 source builds are already packaged in Debian.
| AHRL builds from source | Debian ships as apt |
|---|---|
| Dire Wolf | direwolf |
| fldigi | fldigi |
| flrig | flrig |
| Gpredict | gpredict |
| QLog | qlog |
| QUISK | quisk |
| SatDump | satdump |
| wfview | wfview |
| WSJT-X | wsjtx |
| xlog | xlog |
| xnec2c | xnec2c |
This does not remove the need for a source backend — the remaining
24 still require one, and D-004 stands. It does mean
the trade-off for these is version currency, not availability: AHRL
compiles them to get newer versions than Debian ships, which is a
recommended_default and update question rather than a backend question.
Per PARITY-POLICY.md these are CARRY-both candidates: apt for the
operator who wants stability, source for the one who wants current.
