Package: gsm0710muxd Version: 1.13-1+b1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
hi! i'm working for some time now on a phone app using dynamic gsm tty channels. using dbus to request new channels from the muxd showed to be extremely slow (at least on the target platform, which is - surprise - a gsm phone ;), and far too slow to be actually useable. i tried to improve things with channel pooling, but this still doesn't perform in a way that's somewhat useable. thinking about it a bit, it came to my mind that a unix domain socket to the muxd is what seemed to be the most straightforward solution, and i guessed this way things would actually be a lot easier to handle - just connect to the socket, the muxd creates a new channel for you, no need to take care of anything else, the new channel will ofc also be removed as soon as the socket is disconnected. sounds like a perfect solution to me. a quick search showed that somebody obviously not just had the same idea, but also already implemented it. i tried the patch out, and: works like a charm! also, the patch just adds the socket method, but doesn't remove or change anything of the existing functionality. i'd really like to suggest you to add the patch to the gsm0710muxd. it's a great feature and at least from my perspective (i.e. for apps using dynamic gsm tty channels) it makes the muxd actually useable/working in the first place. the patch can be found at: http://neil.brown.name/blog/20090131205109 kind regards, Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
