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 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 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 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.
This patch fixes an issue where aprsd was deciding if it was
supposed to process a packet destined for itself or not. It was
making a case sensitive comparison. This patch makes that comparison
case insensitive for the callsign itself.
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.
