(Organisation) Separate/clean the pkgs/application/radio section #137905

Closed j-steinbach closed 2 years ago

j-steinbach commented 2 years ago

The radio-section contains both radio communication software (for signal processing / software radio, e.g GNU radio website) and internet music radio-players (e.g. pyradio).

These belong to separate domains (hobbyist vs. end-user) and should therefore be separated. I believe it would make sense to put all the music radio players into the audio folder, as it already contains a few radio-players (e.g. shortwave, which --confusingly-- is also the name of a commonly used radio communication frequency)

I would be willing to sift through the section and find all misplaced packages, but I don't know how to work with github and create pull requests.. :innocent:

Thank you! That looks like a good explanatory guide. I guess that leaves me with no choice to get my hands dirty then.

(Might take me a while to get started, so only ping me if you didn't hear from in a week.)

As for why I couldn't search for this guide myself?.. I guess there simply is a difference between being lost and having to find guidance yourself and getting a peer-reviewed recommendation.

Hey @Artturin, I created a pull request -- would you be willing to take a look? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/138414
