I'm just getting my feet wet with Xastir and APRS in general, but come at this with an extensive background in geospatial tech. I was wondering if anyone has any links/tips on how best/easiest hook into xastir to store positions in an external database? It looks easy enough to simply parse the log files on a periodic basis and stuff this into a DB, but this seems to be somewhat of a kludge. Any better suggestions from the list?
Two things: *) There's some initial code that stores data in a database. Hopefully the author will jump in here and let you know how to enable it. I'm not sure whether it's ready for prime-time yet (it may very well be). *) The Xastir2 or Xastir-NG project intends to solve this problem (well, we'll see what the Use Case's turn up anyway) and others. Subscribe to the Xastir-Dev list and check out the new Wiki on the sourceforge.net/projects/xastir pages for more info. Hopefully we'll be directing more energy towards the new project and less to the old in the near future. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
