Coverage matrix — AHRL v27 against the Debian Hamradio Blend on Parrot

Generated by scripts/gen_coverage_matrix.py. Do not edit by hand. The facts are parsed from docs/reference/ahrl-inventory.md, the catalog and a fetched Parrot archive probe; the judgement is the generator's CURATION table, every override of which cites a URL.

Generated: 2026-09-30

What this answers

docs/reference/prior-art.md proposes the blend's hamradio-* metapackages as the base tier. This matrix measures what that leaves Hammunition to do: for each of the 95 units AHRL v27 executes, whether a metapackage already lists the package, whether Parrot's archive carries it outside any metapackage, or whether nothing in the archive does. One class per unit; a URL for every class but COVERED.

The archive that was measured

• Archive: https://deb.parrot.sh/parrot, suites echo echo-updates echo-security echo-backports, components main contrib non-free non-free-firmware, amd64; fetched 2026-09-30.
• Release: Origin=Parrot Suite=parrot Codename=echo Date=Wed, 30 Sep 2026 21:45:15 UTC.
• Blend: debian-hamradio 0.10 — 12 task metapackages (hamradio-antenna, hamradio-datamodes, hamradio-digitalvoice, hamradio-logging, hamradio-morse, hamradio-nonamateur, hamradio-packetmodes, hamradio-rigcontrol, hamradio-satellite, hamradio-sdr, hamradio-tools, hamradio-training).
• Parrot 7 echo is Debian 13 trixie stable plus backports (D-038), not testing or sid. The candidate is the highest version across echo, echo-updates and echo-security; echo-backports only when nothing else offers the package, and the suite column says so when that happens.
• A unit counts as blend-covered when a metapackage Depends on or Recommends its package. Suggests is not installed by default and is not counted.

Counts

Class	Units	Meaning
COVERED	29	a metapackage lists it; Parrot is within a patch level of AHRL
COVERED_STALE	8	a metapackage lists it; AHRL bundles a materially newer upstream
DELTA_APT	15	Parrot's archive carries it; no metapackage lists it
DELTA_UPSTREAM	8	not in the archive; upstream publishes a binary
DELTA_SOURCE	17	not in the archive; built from source or a venv
DELTA_NONFREE	0	not free software; free substitute named
DEAD	18	superseded, sunset, or never software — replacement or drop named
total	95

The matrix

AHRL's version is what the v27 tarball bundles or, for apt units, blank (AHRL takes whatever the target offers). Parrot's is the candidate version and its suite. Task is every metapackage that Depends on or Recommends the package. Carried as is the catalog manifest and its install method, or — where none exists.

Covered but stale

Where AHRL builds a newer upstream than the blend installs. These are the units where taking the blend as the base costs a version, and the only ones where a blend-first Hammunition would owe a source build for a package the archive already has.

Where the seven classes do not fit

DEAD was defined as upstream gone or superseded. 13 of the 18 units in it are not ham software — AHRL's own wallpapers, menu tooling and version stamp, a browser, an editor, a system monitor, a build toolchain, Wine, two scripts that fetch a web page. They are marked DEAD with the note drop because the matrix was asked for exactly seven classes; they are not dead upstreams, and a reader counting dead ham software should subtract them. The 5 that remain (dump1090, aa-analyzer, ESPHamClock, Open Wouxun (owx), Virtual Radar Server) are superseded in the catalog, and only ESPHamClock's upstream is actually gone.

6 units are DELTA_* with no manifest (Fritzing, KiCad, ngspice, GSpiceUI, FoxTelem, Country files (cty.dat)). The electronics tools and GSpiceUI are reserved to the maintainer (dispositions M), and FoxTelem and the country files are post-1.0 by Q-015. They are classified by what AHRL does with them, not by what the catalog does.

2 units the archive carries are built or fetched by the catalog anyway (fldigi, WSJT-X). Each row's note says why. When this probe first ran (2026-09-06) it contradicted three manifests — that no distribution packages NanoVNA-Saver, that only Kali packages QLog, that the archive's WSJT-X is the only one — and they were corrected the same day: the first two now install from the archive where it offers them, and the third names the archive package and why the engine does not use it yet.

What the blend as base tier leaves to Hammunition

With the blend installed as the base tier, 37 of AHRL's 95 units are already on the machine and 15 more are one apt install away — together 52 of the 77 units that are not DEAD, or 67% — if the operator installs all twelve task metapackages, which is what base tier would mean. That is the measured version of the survey's claim that the blend makes most of AHRL redundant, and it holds. What it leaves is 25 units: 17 source builds the archive does not carry (Coil64, cwwav, flaa, flcluster, fllog, Fl_MoxGen, flnet, flwkey, glfer, gsmc, GSpiceUI, Linrad, MSHV, qgrid, xwefax, not1mm, AIS-catcher), 8 upstream binaries and no proprietary tools. Plus the 8 stale rows, where the operator who wants AHRL's version needs a build the blend cannot give them. Hammunition's actual scope on the amateur side is therefore not a catalog of 77 programs but a build layer for roughly 33 of them — the W1HKJ suite, the Qt and FLTK one-offs, the Python venvs — sitting on a base someone else maintains; and the tiering, hardware, station configuration and SDR/SIGINT profiles that no metapackage attempts. The 18 DEAD units are the explanation AHRL never wrote down.
