Re: [Xastir] Any interest for custom Ubuntu Live CD
Tony, I tried to download your ISO so I could try it out BUT... I got this (and it is a first for me) from the server 8 -- Service Temporarily Unavailable The bwshare module will refuse your requests for the next 34 seconds. You have downloaded data too rapidly. -- Apache Server at vk5.aprs.net.au Port 80 8 -- Huh?!?! Since when is there a speed limit on the web? 73 Dave KB3EFS On Sat, Apr 4, 2009 at 1:53 AM, Tony Hunt wave...@internode.on.net wrote: Lee .. I did this a while back.

See this URL if you want to put it on the wiki http://vk5.aprs.net.au/software.html The current version 2.51 is based on PC-Linux and has xastir 1.9 something I think but I will be going back to a Debian based distro next and trying to support some of the Legacy slower machines with a XFCE option desktop.

I guess the obvious question is why doesn't Xastir have the ability to generate them? Because nobody has gotten around to coding up the ability. What it will require is for someone to code up a way to turn a CAD object into a multiline object. There is a currently-unused routine that can take a list of lat/lon pairs and generate the multiline string and a point at the center (average lat/lon), and it could be used for that. But someone will need to do the GUI work to allow specification of which CAD object to send out this way, and assemble an object to go out over the air. -- Tom RussoKM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. -- Ineffective daily affirmation ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

But someone will need to do the GUI work to allow specification of which CAD object to send out this way, and assemble an object to go out over the air. We also need to add a more general capability: A way to specify which objects get transmitted (public), and which are local (private). Some data used in a search or EOC may be sensitive. These CAD objects as well as existing types of objects need to be represented in Xastir such that it's impossible to confuse their public/private state, yet make it possible to switch an object to the opposite state. Of course these individual object states need to be persistent across crashes/restarts as well. If one were to do it via a mechanism where the user specifies: create an over-the-air object out of this CAD object then there can be no confusion. CAD objects remain local, and only those generated by explicit copying into APRS objects are public. As APRS objects, they've got crash/restart permanence (through object.log) and as CAD objects they do, too, through the CAD object restart file. Further, CAD objects look nothing like WXSVR polygons, so there can be no visual confusion, either. All that's needed is the ability to create one from the other. -- Tom RussoKM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. -- Ineffective daily affirmation ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
