Re: Unable to add FMCOMMS5 from git library

[Marcus Müller]

Hi Rupak,

this makes no sense: ADI put a lot of effort into getting gr-iio to work with 
GNU Radio
3.8, and porting efforts to 3.9 are at least underway.

It absolutely makes no sense to use GNU Radio 3.7 on a new project, especially 
since
multiple of its dependencies have gone end-of-life. You can trivially upgrade 
to GNU Radio
3.8 using GNU Radio's own PPA, or from Ubuntu's own package repositories if you 
upgrade
your Ubuntu 20.04.

If you've already got working infrastructure based on GNU Radio 3.7, the 
situation is
different: we do take a bit of caution to help 3.7 keep running on legacy 
systems. We are,
however, not porting it to new platforms (which simply doesn't work due to the
dependencies mentioned above), and I'd certainly recommend not starting a 
project with 3.7
in 2021.

Best regards,
Marcus
