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()
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.
The email plugin was still using globals for tracking
the check_email_delay as well as the config. This
patch creates a new singleton thread safe mechanism for
check_email_delay with the EmailInfo class.
This patch adjusts the py3-email-validation usage. Since we
upgraded to 1.0.2, the signature has changed. This patch adjusts
the signature usage so it works again.
Since all outbound messages have a send() method that starts
a separate there, there really is no reason for the transmit queue
thread at all. All it did was get a message from the queue and then
call send on it, which would start another thread. This removes that
intermediate TXThread. When you want to send a message just call
send() on the message object.
This patch updates the APRSDPluginBase class to include
standard methods for allowing plugins to create, start, stop
threads that the plugin might need/use. Also update the aprsd-dev
to correctly start the threads and stop them for testing plugin
functionality.
Also added more unit tests and fake objects for unit tests.
This patch refactors how the recieved message processing happens.
We now handle all incoming packets the same. Removed the notification
thread to handle the watchlist packets. This is now done with a
unified plugins architecture that allows different capabilities
via the new plugin structure. All packets sent to us will be
sent through all of the plugins. It's the plugins job to decide what to
do with that packet or ignore it.
Email is no longer a special case for the most part. All email
functions have been migrated to the EmailPlugin, including starting the
EmailThread, which works in the background to check for new emails and
send those to the registered callsign. The EmailPlugin now starts the
EmailThread itself.
All plugins are now build on the new APRSDPluginBase which has a common
set of features. The APRSDPluginBase calls self.setup() upon creation,
which allows all plugins to do whatever they want for initiali startup.
The EmailPlugin uses setup() to start the EmailThread if email is
enabled.
This patch adds a new optional feature called Watch list.
Aprsd will filter IN all aprs packets from a list of callsigns.
APRSD will keep track of the last time a callsign has been seen.
When the configured timeout value has been reached, the next time
a callsign is seen, APRSD will send the next packet from that callsign
through the new notification plugins list.
The new BaseNotifyPlugin is the default core APRSD notify based plugin.
When it gets a packet it will construct a reply message to be sent
to the configured alert callsign to alert them that the seen callsign
is now on the APRS network.
This basically acts as a notification that your watched callsign list is
available on APRS.
The new configuration options:
aprsd:
watch_list:
# The callsign to send a message to once a watch list callsign
# is now seen on APRS-IS
alert_callsign: NOCALL
# The time in seconds to wait for notification.
# The default is 12 hours.
alert_time_seconds: 43200
# The list of callsigns to watch for
callsigns:
- WB4BOR
- KFART
# Enable/disable this feature
enabled: false
# The list of notify based plugins to load for
# processing a new seen packet from a callsign.
enabled_plugins:
- aprsd.plugins.notify.BaseNotifyPlugin
This patch also adds a new section in the Admin UI for showing the
watch list and the age of the last seen packet for each callsing since
APRSD startup.
This patch moves all of the plugins out of plugin.py
into their own separate plugins/<plugin>.py file. This
makes it easier to maintain each plugin.
NOTE: You will have to update your ~/.config/aprsd/aprsd.yml
to change the python location path for each plugin enabled.
For example:
OLD:
enabled_plugins:
- aprsd.plugin.EmailPlugin
TO NEW
enabled_plugins:
- aprsd.plugins.email.EmailPlugin
