This patch updates the Dockerfile for building the official container
image and includes the ability to load external pypi modules as plugins
at container startup.
This patch reworked the loading of plugins. Python2 is dead.
Previously was using the imp module to easily load the plugins from
a separate directory, which is a bit of a pita. Found a python3 lib
that takes care of the difference between py3.3, 3.4 and 3.5+ module
loading called "thesmuggler"
This patch fixes the Usage string for a call message
that isn't matched by any plugin.
Plugin object now must impleent a 'command_name' attribute
that is the usage string for that plugin.
This patch adds the new APRSD Command Plugin architecture.
All Comand plugins must implement the same object API, which includes
plugin object is subclass of APRSDPluginBase
version attribute
command_regex attribute
command method
When an APRS command is detected, then the regex is run against
the command. If the command_regex matches, then the plugin's
command() method will be called. If the command() method returns
a string, then that string is sent as a reply to the APRS caller.
A new aprs.yml config section is added to support selecting
which plugins to enable.
If you want all plugins enabled, then omit "enabled_plugins" entirely
from the aprs section of the config.
To load custom plugins:
1) create a directory with an __init__.py file
2) Add a plugin.py file that contains your plugin
Look at the exmaples directory for an example plugin.
This patch refactors the socket management
to use select, as well as refactor all of the
commands into a COMMAND_ENVELOPE dictionary.
This patch also adds the Dockerfile and
docker-compose.yml files
This patch includes lots of changes to tox environment for
automatically detecting pep8 failures, which can cause python2 vs
python3 failures after install.
The following tox commands have been added
tox -efmt-check - This checks the python syntax and formatting
tox -efmt - Automatically fixes python syntax formatting that
fmt-check complains about.
tox -etype-check - check on types
tox -elint - flake8 run
This patch also changes where the default config file is located.
The new location is ~/.config/aprsd/aprsd.yml
You can now also specify a custom config file on the command line
with the -c or --config option as well.
