This patch adds basic ratelimiting to sending out AckPackets
and non AckPackets. This provides a basic way to prevent
aprsd from sending out packets as fast as possible, which isn't
great for a bandwidth limited network.
This patch also adds some keepalive checks to all threads in the
threadslist as well as the network client objects (apris, kiss)
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
This patch changes how aprsd identifies itself when connected to
any client, which is not relying on the login for each client.
There are 3 supported clients currently
aprsis,
tcpkiss
serialkiss.
Each client has their own potential login/callsign to connect
to the remote. This patch tells aprsd to use the new config option
aprsd.callsign as a means to identify itself. It will accept
packets as <aprsd.callsign> and reply as <aprsd.callsign> regardless
of which client object is being used to connect to the remote.
Note: this breaks backwards compatibility. This patch now requires
the new config option
aprsd:
callsign: <callsign>
This patch creates a threads directory and separates out
the contents of threads.py into separate files in the
threads directory to make it easier to find and maintain.
