I used dixprs on the Pi for some time and I'd recommend it as a non-gui
aprs program. I still use it (on a 600MHz P3, to suit some old hardware
- Baycom USCC>4 card) and I send beacons via the spool directory. It's
actively supported by the author who welcomes suggestions for new features.
There is a Yahoo group.

Have you looked at DIXPRS?

People have it running on a Pi.
It doesn't do smart beaconing natively, but as you can see from the link
above it will send packets created externally to the application.
It's Open Source, so you could add some stuff into DIXPRS to listen to a
GPS and format some packets, but maybe you can write a standalone program
that does that. It would incorporate the smart beaconing algorithm and
dump a packet into the spool directory when it decides one should be sent.

Hello Everyone,
Since the list has been pretty quiet, I thought I'd send this out tothe
group. I have a Raspberry Pi and a TNC-Pi which it works pretty wellbut
I'd like to turn it into a an APRS tracker and digi. For the tracker side,
I have a working USB GPS unit that's spitting out the expected NEMA
sentences but I'd like something that supports SmartBeaconing and not just
periodic beacons. Looking at the very comprehensive table at
http://wetnet.net/~we7u/aprs_**capabilities.html<http://wetnet.net/~we7u/aprs_capabilities.html>(it's
missing digi_ned though which is rather comprehensive otherwise),
only Xastir and YACC seemto have smart beaconing but both are GUI *only*
applications. I'm really looking for something that doesn't require
Xwindowsand is lightweight(Java doesn't strike me as very light).
So.. does this exist? Maybe there are tricks to make either of these
programs NOT require to run a GUI what so ever? Other alternatives?
