Am attempting to upload the revised package definition at https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=38650, but haven’t seen it show up yet. So here is the package definition (added to gnu/packages/radio.scm):
(define-public hackrf
;; Using a git commit because there have been many many commits
;; since the relase two years ago, but no sign of a promised
;; release for many months now.

Software Defined Radio (SDR) over USB. Installing this package installs
