This does some cleanup with the stats collector and
usage of the stats. The patch adds a new optional
param to the collector's collect() method to tell
the object to provide serializable stats. This is
used for the webchat app that sends stats to the
browser.
This patch implements a new stats collector paradigm
which uses the typing Protocol. Any object that wants to
supply stats to the collector has to implement the
aprsd.stats.collector.StatsProducer protocol, which at the
current time is implementing a stats() method on the object.
Then register the stats singleton producer with the collector by
calling collector.Collector().register_producer()
This only works if the stats producer object is a singleton.
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
