Motivation for this change

Version 0.5.3 is already 4 years old. The latest git version contains bug fixes and feature enhancements like, e.g. bias-T control.

Things done

Tested with a RTL-SDR receiver dongle.

  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option build-use-sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

IMHO, the proper fix is to ask upstream to make a release, not for nixpkgs (or other downstreams) to bypass their QA.

It would also be OK to add another -unstable attribute that overrides the rtl-sdr derivation but I don't think we should deviate from upstream releases in the rtl-sdr attribute.

I sent out an email to the developers, asking if there's a new release on the horizon.
