This patch adds support for loading extenions
to APRSD!!
You can create another separate aprsd project, and register
your extension in your setup.cfg as a new entry point for aprsd
like
[entry_points]
aprsd.extension =
cool = my_project.extension
in your my_project/extension.py file
import your commmands and away you go.
The packet msgNo field is a string, but is typically is an integer
counter to keep track of a specific packet id. The counter was
returning an int, but the packet.msgNo is a string. So, when trying to
delete a packet from the packet tracker, the key for accessing the
packet is the msgNo, which has to be a string. Passing an int, will
cause the packet tracker to not find the packet, and hence silently
fail.
This patch forces the msgNo counter to be a string.
This patch is the initial conversion of the custom config
and config file yaml format to oslo_config's configuration mechanism.
The resulting config format is now an ini type file.
The default location is ~/.config/aprsd/aprsd.conf
This is a backwards incompatible change. You will have to rebuild
the config file and edit it.
Also any aprsd plugins can now define config options in code and
add an setup.cfg entry_point definition
oslo_config.opts =
foo.conf = foo.conf:list_opts
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
