Yup.. I got the AX25 enabled into kernel by default couple weeks before FC8's release :-) I even noted that "at this time, userspace tools are difficult to use, and are not included into FC8, but with kernel support in place, we can finally make same progress on the tools too." > The problems come with the installs of the ax25-apps, ax25-tools and > libax25 packages, apparently they do not use a standard tree. > For example there is not /etc/ax25 directory and there fore there is > not axports file. libax25 should bring the /etc/ax25/axports into system. I have done some work on porting the tools to FC-devel, but my system compiles only x86_64 correctly, and i386 libraries get wrong library directory.. nevertheless, see: http://ham.zmailer.org/oh2mqk/libax25/ The libax25 is packaged into runtime and development versions. The tarballs are compilable into packages by command like this: rpmbuild -tb libax25-0.0.12.tar.gz I have not yet gotten around to drag ax25-utils to current era, thus it is not there packaged. Anyhow, the existing init-scripts that people use with Debian, SuSE etc. are very much lacking decent fluent configuration. What is really needed are some decent init-scripts that start things like kissattach in nice coherent manner, something similar to RH/FC network subsystem scripts which really are quite decent. That too is in my todo-list, and keeping me back from making real publication of these packages. > More details can be found on: > http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=178719&highlight=ax25 > > Any help or hints may be appreciated. > Neville YN1V 73 de Matti, OH2MQK - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hams" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
