"airspyone" vs. AirSpy2 #101

@jlpoolen

Description

@jlpoolen

Gentoo's package as of June 26, 2025 has:

  • net-wireless/airspy
    Available versions: ~1.0.10 **9999l {+udev}
    Homepage: http://www.airspy.com
    Description: Usemode driver and associated tools for airspy

The ebuild fetches the sofware from:

jlpoole@rpi5 ~ $ cat -n /var/db/repos/gentoo/net-wireless/airspy/airspy-1.0.10.ebuild 
   ...
    11  if [[ ${PV} == *9999 ]]; then
    12          inherit git-r3
    13          EGIT_REPO_URI="https://github.com/airspy/host.git"
    14  else
    15          SRC_URI="https://github.com/airspy/host/archive/v${PV}.tar.gz -> ${P}.tar.gz"
    16          S="${WORKDIR}/airspyone_host-${PV}"
    17          KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~arm ~riscv ~x86"
    18  fi
...

The fact that this repository has "one", as in "airspyone", concerns me given that I purchased in the last month a new AirSpy2.

I'd like to confirm that the software of this repository, airspyone, is the software I should be using for a new AirSpy2 as of May 2025. There is not at this time a public "airspy2" project and I just don't want to start down the path only to learn there are two different versions of software and airspyone is not the best one to be using now.
