This patch moves the plugin manager to early in the startup
process so that the plugins get loaded, which also means each
plugin's custom config settings will be in the CONF object.
This allows dumping the entire CONF with all the plugin settings.
This patch introduces rpyc based RPC client/server for
the flask web interface to call into the running aprsd server
command to fetch stats, logs, etc to send to the browser.
This allows running the web interface via gunicorn command
gunicorn -k gevent --reload --threads 10 -w 1 aprsd.flask:app --log-level DEBUG
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 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.
