[OZAPRS] Changes to VKAPRS-IS server configuration

[John Williams]

Aprsd has not been worked on for some time.  Version 2.2.5-15 is dated
30/09/2003 although the 
CVS version is quite different and reports as 2.2.6. Your version of GCC
will probably dictate what
version of aprsd you can compile.

A work around for the server problem can be solved with a hack to the
source code.

In servers.cpp you can do something like this.


  ostringstream logon;
                logon << "user "
                    << pcp->user
                    << " pass "
                    << pcp->pass
                    << " vers "
                    << VERS
                    << " filter "
                    << "r/-35/139/500 p/VK/AX/VI/STN6 o/*"
                    << "\r\n";

 
Just search for ostringstream logon; and you will find the login code.

Modify the filter string as required.

Naturally would be nice to read it from the config file instead of hard
coding it in the source.


The local igate here runs a customised version based on 2.2.5-15 modified
to suit
local conditions.  The change log is listed below. The final version works
how we want and may 
not suit all.   It took a few iterations in the code to get there.

	-servers.cpp allow aprs message duplicates from inet to RF
            Made provision in code for aprs message duplicates to go to
the net
           -Released 2.2.6.vk5zty.3
		     
2005-06-16     John Williams VK5ZTY
	-aprsd.cpp add TimeBetweenPosit parameter
	-servers.cpp schedule_posit2rf now waits timeBetweenPosit value in
seconds.
             Msgdest2rf required that gate2rf (RFalways) evaluated to
true.
             Msgdest2rf will now send messages to RF based solely on the
msgdest2rf
            parameters
            Any station that is local will have messages gated to RF
           -history.cpp add function getPosit2RF. Remove test for
positions > 15 minutes.
           Rely now on timeBetweenPosit value.
           - Released 2.2.6.vk5zty.2
			       
2005-06-06     John Williams VK5ZTY
	- servers.cpp posit2rf not calling function to test for positions
> 15 minutes in history list
	- servers.cpp Changed logic for mesgdest2rf
	- history.cpp posit2rf. Test for positions > 15 minutues in
history list.
	- history.cpp  Add call to test posit2rf with wildcards
	 -utils.cpp    Add wildcard test of rposit2rf
	 -Released 2.2.6.vk5zty


Still have to code in the filter though.

Cheers
