+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The chrpath package provide a simple command line tool to remove
+the rpath or runpath of compiled ELF program.  It is almost 10 years
+since I updated the code base, but I stumbled over the tool today, and
+decided it was time to move the code base from Subversion to git and
+find a new home for it, as the previous one (Debian Alioth) has been
+shut down.  I decided to go with
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://codeberg.org/&quot;&gt;Codeberg&lt;/a&gt; this time, as it is my git
+service of choice these days, did a quick and dirty migration to git
+and updated the code with a few patches I found in the Debian bug
+tracker.  These are the release notes:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;New in 0.17 released 2023-11-10:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Moved project to Codeberg, as Alioth is shut down.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Add Solaris support (use &amp;lt;sys/byteorder.h&gt; instead of &amp;lt;byteswap.h&gt;).
+   Patch from Rainer Orth.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Added missing newline from printf() line.  Patch from Frank Dana.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Corrected handling of multiple ELF sections. Patch from Frank Dana.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Updated build rules for .deb.  Partly based on patch from djcj.&lt;/li&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Today I finally found time to track down a useful radio frequency
-scanner for my software defined radio.  Just for fun I tried to locate
-the radios used in the areas, and a good start would be to scan all
-the frequencies to see what is in use.  I&#39;ve tried to find a useful
-program earlier, but ran out of time before I managed to find a useful
-tool.  This time I was more successful, and after a few false leads I
-found a description of
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.kali.org/tools/rtlsdr-scanner/&quot;&gt;rtlsdr-scanner
-over at the Kali site&lt;/a&gt;, and was able to track down
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/rtlsdr-scanner.git&quot;&gt;the
-Kali package git repository&lt;/a&gt; to build a deb package for the
-scanner.  Sadly the package is missing from the Debian project itself,
-at least in Debian Bullseye.  Two runtime dependencies,
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/python-visvis.git&quot;&gt;python-visvis&lt;/a&gt;
-and
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/python-rtlsdr.git&quot;&gt;python-rtlsdr&lt;/a&gt;
-had to be built and installed separately.  Luckily &#39;&lt;tt&gt;gbp
-buildpackage&lt;/tt&gt;&#39; handled them just fine and no further packages had
-to be manually built.  The end result worked out of the box after
-installation.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;My initial scans for FM channels worked just fine, so I knew the
-scanner was functioning.  But when I tried to scan every frequency
-from 100 to 1000 MHz, the program stopped unexpectedly near the
-completion.  After some debugging I discovered USB software radio I
-used rejected frequencies above 948 MHz, triggering a unreported
-exception breaking the scan.  Changing the scan to end at 957 worked
-better.  I similarly found the lower limit to be around 15, and ended
-up with the following full scan:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2023-04-07-radio-freq-scanning.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2023-04-07-radio-freq-scanning.png&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Saving the scan did not work, but exporting it as a CSV file worked
-just fine.  I ended up with around 477k CVS lines with dB level for
-the given frequency.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The save failure seem to be a missing UTF-8 encoding issue in the
-python code.  Will see if I can find time to send a patch
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/CdeMills/RTLSDR-Scanner/&quot;&gt;upstream&lt;/a&gt;
-later to fix this exception:&lt;/p&gt;
