Looking for any active Linpac (Linux based AX.25 Packet radio terminal) users

[David Ranch]

Hello Everyone,

I was curious if there are any active Linpac users here on the list.  I 
(somewhat) recently took over the project from the previous author and 
have things working for my uses.  I wanted to see what else active 
packet users would like to see from this project.  I'm also curious what 
versions of code people are using if it's the Ncurses interface or the 
Java interface.

    http://linpac.sourceforge.net/

Linpac is a fantastic AX.25 terminal program and is very feature rich.  
It supports multiple concurrent connections, easy Unproto (UI) traffic, 
local email and FBB forwarding, etc.  It's currently working on 
Centos5/6 and Ubuntu so far and I'm looking for any and all help from  
people who know aspects of:

    - C++, Autoconf/Automake, socket programming, Ncurses, Java
    - testers
    - documentation


Give it a look and I have patches and .spec files ready to go:

   Patches:

   SPECS:   
http://www.trinityos.com/HAM/CentosDigitalModes/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/linpac.spec

Hi,
What about proceeding to the 2.6 kernel and integrating soundmodem or 
has that already happened?
best wishes

Hello Bjorn,

Centos6 comes with a 2.6.32 kernel and I'm currently running a 3.5.2 
kernel.  I have a friend, KJ6YWD who is running Linpac with Soundmodem 
with great results.

No, soundmodem isn't integrated but in classic Linux fashion, it 
shouldn't be.


I  have BOTH versions compiling.  The only Ncurses-only 0.17pre3 works 
very well (though is has some minor bugs).  It's the 1.0pre3 server 
version either with the Ncurses or Java client that I'm currently having 
issues with.  I've captured the issue straces here:

    http://www.trinityos.com/SCRATCH/Linpac/


If you're interested if giving Linpac a try, use my previously mentioned 
patches though they assume the use of compatibility libraries: 
compat-gcc-34-c++

I understand that the vector.h errors should be avoidable w/o those 
compatibility libraries and one of my posted patch files is supposed to 
rectify the compile errors (commented out in the SPEC file). 
Unfortunately, my patches for all this must be incomplete.  I'd love to 
have someone set me strait so I can remove those compatibility libs.
