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 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 fixes an issue with the processing of packets
and updateing the watchlist. Previously after the
notify plugin processed the packet it would update the watchlist.
This doesn't work when there are more than 1 notify plugins
enabled, only the first notify plugin seeing the packet will
recognize that the callsign is old.
The watchlist notify plugin is supposed to send an APRS message
to the configured callsign. This patch makes sure that the
message is sent to the notify_callsign
This patch adds the always enabled HelpPlugin. This plugin
now will respond to the 'help' or 'h' commands that will
automatically build a help string based on the number of
enabled plugins. It will also respond to
help <plugin> with the plugin specific help
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 updates the notification thread to send all packets
through the notification plugins. The plugins themselves need to
do smart filter to not reply to every packet. This allows for
more interesting plugins.
Also fixed an issue with the messages tab in the admin ui, not
showing all of the recieved packets. The messages tab now also
sees all the packets that aprsd recieves.
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.
