This patch decouples sending a message from the internals of
the Packet classes. This allows the rest of the code to use
Packet objects as type hints in methods to enforce Packets
in the plugins.
The send method was moved to a single place in the threads.tx.send()
This patch updates both the webchat and listen commands
to be able to use the new queue based packet RX processing.
APRSD used to start a thread for every packet received, now
packets are pushed into a queue for processing by other threads
already running.
This patch cleans up the Packet class attributes used to
keep track of how many times packets have been sent and
the last time they were sent. This is used by the PacketTracker
and the tx threads for transmitting packets
The messaging.py now is nothing but a shell that
contains a link to packets.NULL_MESSAGE to help maintain
some backwards compatibility with plugins.
Packets dataclass has fully replaced messaging objects.
This patch adds the needed code to construct the raw output
string for sending a GPSPacket.
TODO: Need to incorporate speed, course, rng, position ambiguity ?
TODO: Need to add option to 'compress' the output location data.
This patch reworks all the packet processing to use the new
Packets objects. Nuked all of the messaging classes.
backwards incompatible changes
all messaging.py classes are now gone and replaced by
packets.py classes
With more testing of the webchat beaconing, found a problem
with the packet format for the beacon. This patch fixes the
packet format of the beacon.
Also added a timeout when trying to get the GPS location in the browser,
otherwise it could never come back.
This patch updates the Makefile to allow for creating
development vs runtime python virtual environments.
If you only want to run aprsd commands
make run
If you want to work on aprsd code
make dev
the device detector was taking 1 minute on a raspi to parse out the
user-agent string from the browser. user-agents takes 2 seconds,
which still isn't great, but 'doable' for the webchat interface.
twine is only used for building a distribution and uploading
to pypi. Unfortunately it has a dependency that pulls in
cryptography which is painful on rpi systems as it requires
the latest version of rustc and cargo.
This patch refactors the rx threads a bit to reuse some code
responsible for processing acks when packets are received.
This also eliminates a custom thread in the webchat command for
processing received packets now that there is common code in the base
classes.
