From Bryan at bryanfields.net Tue Jul 2 19:54:29 2019 From: Bryan at bryanfields.net (Bryan Fields) Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2019 15:54:29 -0400 Subject: [App_rpt-users] Lies, damn lies, and John David McGough Message-ID: It's funny to write this yet again, however AllStar is being attacked by the people who have contributed nothing and stolen everything from this community. I was forwarded an email with claims of registration issues by John David McGough. Now these people (who use the AllStar registration servers and core infrastructure) claim once again, AllStar has problems with registration services. They refuse to provide any evidence of this, but have no problems spreading this FUD. Registration is, and has been working. ASL has multiple servers running, and the nodes list is being generated properly too. This is stable and working. If one dies, DNS moves it to another server. If one has a registration issue, what is a better way to handle it; a. email the help desk or this mailing list, or b. provide no notice and bitch about and libel the community? Anyone can check and see the registration counts, and the top authentication failures. This isn't on a delay, if something is broken it's going to show there, and it's the first thing the admin team checks when problems are reported. 73's -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net From Brad at trogdon.org Tue Jul 2 20:54:46 2019 From: Brad at trogdon.org (Brad Trogdon) Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2019 16:54:46 -0400 Subject: [App_rpt-users] Lies, damn lies, and John David McGough In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Bryan Fields, Not sure of your beef but from a users perspective having tried both AllStar and HamVoIP groups and offerings I have to say hands down the HamVoIP group contributes significantly more to the communities in the form of product, updates and support. I have witnessed support to folks whom are using the product in other than Amateur applications as well. I personally appreciate the assistance as do all the others that come to a source that they know will offer them direct and transparent assistance. If the complaint were the first I would think that it?s an anomaly but their is a significant number of users complaining about registration and inability to connect to others. Got that you have a tool but does the tool provide feedback that is a benefit to those actually having issues connecting to others. I would work on fixing the problem Proactively and not flame others who are providing a service to the community at large. I appreciate their work.

You're free to use it, but if you give copies of it to anyone, you must give them the same rights you have. If you don't you have no right to it. John David has failed to distribute his software in accordance with the license, and has failed to cure this. He has no right to distribute it, and people with copies of his software have been given copies illegally. > How are developers and users being negatively impacted? I see nothing but > users and developers benefiting. He's taken away any ability to view the source, and make changes to the code. This is the core value of Free Software and why Jim developed this. >> Do you condone this? > > From my viewpoint as a user of well maintained and feature rich software, > yes. I don?t see anyone being deprived. Produce the source, it's a legal requirement. I'd love to audit his code in something more than a disassembler. > I appreciate their hard work and > constant support to where I personally have donated when given the > opportunity. All they have done is remove the by line and slap their own on name. Is this hard? Certainly not.

It's totally in the spirit of the freedom Jim intended, however this requires the source code to be open and any changes are covered by the same license. If Jim wanted it to be closed source, he'd have released it BSD licensed. I won't speak for his thoughts, but would think some of the first work he did on the Tormenta card showed why BSD isn't the ideal license for collaboration. >> I would work on fixing the problem Proactively and not flame others who >> are >>> providing a service to the community at large. >> >> What service is he providing?

It's sad. > The HamVoIP provides tons of how-tos and white-papers. When you refer to > the ?Community? are you referring to a small group that could be compared > to a HOA? I know this may be hard for you to understand, but the community is based on freely sharing ideas and improvements. At the center of this is the GPL and it dictates the minimum requirements of this community. HamVoIP has turned their noses up at it, and refused to play by the community rules. You've had your freedom ripped from you and you don't care; rather your cheering it.

You forgot to detail what brings us to this thread. ?Works!! ? You are obviously a very bitter and sad person. I can understand why their is a max exodus to a friendly, supportive and reliable version. Thank you for your time and reinforcing any doubts that I may have chosen the correct flavor to proceed with. To be clear I have not paid anyone for software. I have however donated to show my support for their efforts as I do with fellow repeater owners and groups whom provide services to which I partake. If the individual you are pursuing has single handedly contributed the volumes he has you should concede and follow his lead. He has obviously surpassed your ability. With your passion and his get-it-done could one only imagine what would be possible in a true collaborative arena? Not that little oh me matters but you should concentrate on your version and what you want it to be. Provide support and most importantly a consumer friendly solution and I promise folks will use it. But to stomp you feet and yell will do nothing but form unfavorable opinions and run folks off. To end this thread I want to say thank you to everyone that has helped me along the way. Before this I knew zero Linux. This is a hobby and a learning experience to me. Off to the teet. With the elections soon approaching I feel our paths will cross again. Cya L8r Bye. ...

Without the source, the hamvoip image is something that we can only be a user of, and cannot make improvement for ourselves. If we have custom ideas. Think about a radio that physically will not let you put your soldering iron and multimeter in it without self destructing. On Wed, Jul 3, 2019 at 11:09 AM Jeremy Lincicome wrote: > This is crazy!

They locked (stole) open source code and prevent others from contributing. Until they do what is right and open the code as was intended by the original author, I will not use their version. Open source projects are OPEN for all to examine and improve. I am always excited to find a new and useful open source project because I know that the community is working together- for both improvements AND watching out for security risks and mal-intent. If Linux was not open source we could all be paying per copy. I encourage everyone to check out this article that outlines some of the benefits and reasons why keeping something open source AS INTENDED is so important and beneficial. https://www.pcworld.com/article/209891/10_reasons_open_source_is_good_for_business.html 73, Clifford KK6QMS From: App_rpt-users On Behalf Of Brad Trogdon Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2019 9:15 AM To: Users of Asterisk app_rpt Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Lies, damn lies, and John David McGough ??imagine what would be possible in a true collaborative arena?? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Anyone who thinks there's nothing wrong with what the Hamvoip team has done doesn't understand the GPL and what open source means. The Hamvoip website claims their product is open source. When you ask for a link to the source code you get angry diatribes and accusations instead of a Github link. If they truly wanted to collaborate, they could have contributed to the already open code base and made AllStar better. Instead one guy had a fit, took other people's work, slapped their own branding on it and won't release the source for any changes that have been made. Now they're turning it into a commercial product by charging money for a service that is based on stolen software. This is 110% in violation of the terms laid out in the GPL... which anyone who releases modified GPL software is required to adhere to. What is there to hide? Release the source. That being said, I respectfully think there's better ways to address the issue than whats being done currently. Has anyone on the AllStarLink project been in contact with the EFF? That might be a good place to start. 73 to all, Brian - VA3DXV On Wed, Jul 3, 2019, 1:58 PM Skyler F wrote: > I feel like many people on this list don?t understand the relevance of > source code and why the HamVoip image has done anything wrong because many > are just end users, and on the outside it is free and has great support. > > Why does the source matter? > > The core foundation of amateur radio is based on the ability to experiment > and modify things to make it better. > > Without the source, the hamvoip image is something that we can only be a > user of, and cannot make improvement for ourselves.

It is already in private, Private communication between the people that have business in a matter is exactly what we are doing. We are ALL parts of that thing. Anyone that think they are not being affected by this is so wrong. The other distro could be playing with how the registration is being done and could be the responsible for the registration failling.. But since they wont release the source of the code we cant say, and first thing we know, the user thinks it is the coder here that are responsible.. Open source are exactly for that. It can be a simple tactic to force the user base that use that distro into moving to a new type of registration and splitting the community in half.. this would not even be far fetched. There is a saying in french that goes like this ( open translation sorry if it is not ok) There is no better way to justify the killing your dog then telling it has rabies. So making registration unreliable in there version is about the best way to push a split by offering a "better" solution. Again, there is no way to check this as they dont publish the source.. It is not the first time in open source software that this happen, SDR# used to be open source, but lots of people started publishing binaries with dirty hacks and other gizmo that was making the software unstable. The main programer got tired of this and closed back the source ( he always kept the IP to himself , never released the source under GPL). And now, even if he still works on his project and we still have the software, the day he decide to stop producing it, we all loose... And if the source would be available, maybe some new coder could build on what he done and we would all gain from this.. But nope, some ass holes broke this for ALL of us. We are still lucky that many good programer are still maintening and upgrading that software.. But letting things go as they are right now will only lead to a pit fall. Like some meme photo we all see on social media, ITs because of that we cant have nice things.. Pierre VE2PF P.s. Just in case it is not clear..

URL: From lengriff at optimum.net Thu Jul 4 13:31:59 2019 From: lengriff at optimum.net (Len Griffin) Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2019 09:31:59 -0400 Subject: [App_rpt-users] App_rpt-users Digest, Vol 125, Issue 2 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <000401d5326c$db3889b0$91a99d10$@optimum.net> My Personal Experience / Thoughts When I began learning Allstar and Linux, I became very confused. Looking for answers using my browser, I was constantly getting conflicting information. After some time, I became more aware that there were TWO separate AllStar systems in place, and they did NOT work the same? This severely delayed my initial progress, and continues to hinder, not help, new hams looking to learn. I am very angry that this is allowed to continue. How are we to learn if there are different answers to the same question? There MUST be ONE answer, and ONE AllStar. Thank you Jim Dixon for your incredible programming skill and OPENLY sharing it with us! Doug Crompton is obviously skilled as well, and has proven that. Doug, why not be proud of your accomplishment, comply with the LAW and share the source code? What seems to be the problem? We ALL lose by being divided. I'm late to this game, so I do not know what the history of this issue is. The LAW says the initial code is OPEN SOURCE, available to anyone. Out of RESPECT for Jim, WB6NIL, and his collaboration with Mark Spencer on developing Asterisk, along with his work with Steve Rodgers, WA6ZFT, developing app_rpt, I will ALWAYS use the OFFICIAL AllStar. -----Original Message----- From: App_rpt-users [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces at lists.allstarlink.org] On Behalf Of app_rpt-users-request at lists.allstarlink.org Sent: Thursday, July 04, 2019 8:00 AM To: app_rpt-users at lists.allstarlink.org Subject: App_rpt-users Digest, Vol 125, Issue 2 Send App_rpt-users mailing list submissions to app_rpt-users at lists.allstarlink.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to app_rpt-users-request at lists.allstarlink.org You can reach the person managing the list at app_rpt-users-owner at lists.allstarlink.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of App_rpt-users digest..."

You're free to use it, but if you give copies of it to anyone, you must give them the same rights you have. If you don't you have no right to it. John David has failed to distribute his software in accordance with the license, and has failed to cure this. He has no right to distribute it, and people with copies of his software have been given copies illegally. > How are developers and users being negatively impacted?

It's totally in the spirit of the freedom Jim intended, however this requires the source code to be open and any changes are covered by the same license. If Jim wanted it to be closed source, he'd have released it BSD licensed. I won't speak for his thoughts, but would think some of the first work he did on the Tormenta card showed why BSD isn't the ideal license for collaboration. >> I would work on fixing the problem Proactively and not flame others who >> are >>> providing a service to the community at large. >> >> What service is he providing?

I know this may be hard for you to understand, but the community is based on freely sharing ideas and improvements. At the center of this is the GPL and it dictates the minimum requirements of this community. HamVoIP has turned their noses up at it, and refused to play by the community rules.

You forgot to detail what brings us to this thread. ?Works!! ? You are obviously a very bitter and sad person. I can understand why their is a max exodus to a friendly, supportive and reliable version. Thank you for your time and reinforcing any doubts that I may have chosen the correct flavor to proceed with. To be clear I have not paid anyone for software. I have however donated to show my support for their efforts as I do with fellow repeater owners and groups whom provide services to which I partake. If the individual you are pursuing has single handedly contributed the volumes he has you should concede and follow his lead. He has obviously surpassed your ability. With your passion and his get-it-done could one only imagine what would be possible in a true collaborative arena? Not that little oh me matters but you should concentrate on your version and what you want it to be. Provide support and most importantly a consumer friendly solution and I promise folks will use it. But to stomp you feet and yell will do nothing but form unfavorable opinions and run folks off. To end this thread I want to say thank you to everyone that has helped me along the way. Before this I knew zero Linux. This is a hobby and a learning experience to me. Off to the teet. With the elections soon approaching I feel our paths will cross again. Cya L8r Bye. ...

Why does the source matter? The core foundation of amateur radio is based on the ability to experiment and modify things to make it better. Without the source, the hamvoip image is something that we can only be a user of, and cannot make improvement for ourselves. If we have custom ideas. Think about a radio that physically will not let you put your soldering iron and multimeter in it without self destructing. On Wed, Jul 3, 2019 at 11:09 AM Jeremy Lincicome wrote: > This is crazy!

Doug Crompton and the rest of the hamvoip ilk have stolen the code that Jim Duuuuuude (R.I.P.) wrote and released into the open source world, and made their version proprietary for *them*, and not releasing any code that THEY changed to the public, as is open source policy. I, personally, wouldn't mind seeing them hang for it. Literally. Hang em, damn thieves! On Wed, Jul 3, 2019, 13:07 Donald Jacob wrote: > People, > this is getting a bit out of hand.

They locked (stole) open source code and prevent others from contributing. Until they do what is right and open the code as was intended by the original author, I will not use their version. Open source projects are OPEN for all to examine and improve. I am always excited to find a new and useful open source project because I know that the community is working together- for both improvements AND watching out for security risks and mal-intent. If Linux was not open source we could all be paying per copy. I encourage everyone to check out this article that outlines some of the benefits and reasons why keeping something open source AS INTENDED is so important and beneficial. https://www.pcworld.com/article/209891/10_reasons_open_source_is_good_for_bu siness.html 73, Clifford KK6QMS From: App_rpt-users On Behalf Of Brad Trogdon Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2019 9:15 AM To: Users of Asterisk app_rpt Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Lies, damn lies, and John David McGough ??imagine what would be possible in a true collaborative arena?? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Anyone who thinks there's nothing wrong with what the Hamvoip team has done doesn't understand the GPL and what open source means. The Hamvoip website claims their product is open source. When you ask for a link to the source code you get angry diatribes and accusations instead of a Github link. If they truly wanted to collaborate, they could have contributed to the already open code base and made AllStar better. Instead one guy had a fit, took other people's work, slapped their own branding on it and won't release the source for any changes that have been made. Now they're turning it into a commercial product by charging money for a service that is based on stolen software. This is 110% in violation of the terms laid out in the GPL... which anyone who releases modified GPL software is required to adhere to. What is there to hide? Release the source. That being said, I respectfully think there's better ways to address the issue than whats being done currently. Has anyone on the AllStarLink project been in contact with the EFF? That might be a good place to start. 73 to all, Brian - VA3DXV On Wed, Jul 3, 2019, 1:58 PM Skyler F wrote: > I feel like many people on this list don?t understand the relevance of > source code and why the HamVoip image has done anything wrong because many > are just end users, and on the outside it is free and has great support. > > Why does the source matter? > > The core foundation of amateur radio is based on the ability to experiment > and modify things to make it better. > > Without the source, the hamvoip image is something that we can only be a > user of, and cannot make improvement for ourselves.

I really don't like the name calling, but in the end Open Source requires the community to point out violations. In ham radio we only rely on the FCC to go after those bad actors that do not respond to resonable censure. A number of leading figures in the OSS movement (some of whom are hams) are aware of what is going on, but it may come down to Digium who holds the copyright to Asterisk to lay down the law. 73 -Willem AC0KQ ================================================================ Dr. Willem A.

It is already in private, Private communication between the people that have business in a matter is exactly what we are doing. We are ALL parts of that thing. Anyone that think they are not being affected by this is so wrong. The other distro could be playing with how the registration is being done and could be the responsible for the registration failling.. But since they wont release the source of the code we cant say, and first thing we know, the user thinks it is the coder here that are responsible.. Open source are exactly for that. It can be a simple tactic to force the user base that use that distro into moving to a new type of registration and splitting the community in half.. this would not even be far fetched. There is a saying in french that goes like this ( open translation sorry if it is not ok) There is no better way to justify the killing your dog then telling it has rabies. So making registration unreliable in there version is about the best way to push a split by offering a "better" solution. Again, there is no way to check this as they dont publish the source.. It is not the first time in open source software that this happen, SDR# used to be open source, but lots of people started publishing binaries with dirty hacks and other gizmo that was making the software unstable. The main programer got tired of this and closed back the source ( he always kept the IP to himself , never released the source under GPL). And now, even if he still works on his project and we still have the software, the day he decide to stop producing it, we all loose... And if the source would be available, maybe some new coder could build on what he done and we would all gain from this.. But nope, some ass holes broke this for ALL of us. We are still lucky that many good programer are still maintening and upgrading that software.. But letting things go as they are right now will only lead to a pit fall. Like some meme photo we all see on social media, ITs because of that we cant have nice things.. Pierre VE2PF P.s. Just in case it is not clear..

With each new HamVoIP node deployed, the effect becomes more pronounced, ultimately causing a Maunder Sunspot Minimum. This, of course, is to the HamVoIP advantage, since no sunspots means even more hams will need AllStar for communications. Which, in turn, dampens the Sun even more. A movie is already in production. In this remake of the classic 1962 thriller "Dr. No," SPECTRE is replaced SPARKY, AKA: John David McGough, as the Arch villain (running Arch Linux, of course). In a twist of the plot from the original movie, SKYNET is accidentally created by huge Raspberry Pi cluster, leading to world domination. ....LMAO.... 73, David KB4FXC On Wed, 3 Jul 2019, Pierre Martel wrote: > My message to the people that want this to be done in private, I say.

That is something that really on concerns me with big corporations like Sony Rootkit scandal. Here we just have two groups of people who don't see eye-to eye. The bigger problem is the folks (user base/end users) that don't see the benefit of open source Well I will share the reason I moved to Allstar (or more specifically App_rpt at the time, because I think the Allstar branding came later) from the IRLP platform was IRLP suffered the same lack of source issues. And I am no appliance operator. I can only be satisfied so long being and end user. I wanted to modify things, change things that that the closed IRLP platform wouldn't allow me to. Allstar became the answer to my prayers. Sure Hamvoip can be a good place to start, but if you are like many you will be unsatisfied at some point later. Then there is the whole what happens if some dies (like Jim did) or pulls the plug? In an opensource environment, the project can live on, like it has. In the closed source case, not so much. Same reasons I moved away from DD-WRT (no source code) and favored Tomato. Same reason AMBE bugs the heck out of me... Aside from a good number of documents that the Hamvoip guy have out there, I don't see how the project gives back to the community, other than by providing something geared for appliance folks. Ham radio is and always has been a work together thing.

Many of us in both aisles respect you both as developers even though we don't agree with this move. You're now making jokes about something serious and most who understand the deeper issues know it is not a laughing matter, as a developer you know this too. I am not bashing you guys. I know you guys have good intentions. Doug too is a good man. You have made Pi specific improvements, you know VoIP networking very well (probably better than the ASL team) and your team offers TONS of support to the public. But those of us who know software (yourself included) also know you are not doing the right thing. Forking software is one thing, and is acceptable, but that is not what was done. You can not take open source software and brand it as your own proprietary product, released as a package or not. I am sure you feel a deep connection to it after all the years you've put into it, but it was not yours to foster in the first place. Worse than that you are trying to fork the entire community. It is getting ugly and you could fix it all so easily. Your improvements are good, so commit it to master, take the credit for it and be done with what could get nasty. Don't lose face on this. It was a gift to all of us on the condition that it remain open, it really is that simple. Have some respect for Jim and the team that gave us this gift. Please just do the right thing and let's put this behind us.

Many of us in both aisles respect you both as developers even though we don't agree with this move. You're now making jokes about something serious and most who understand the deeper issues know it is not a laughing matter, as a developer you know this too. I am not bashing you guys. I know you guys have good intentions. Doug too is a good man. You have made Pi specific improvements, you know VoIP networking very well (probably better than the ASL team) and your team offers TONS of support to the public. But those of us who know software (yourself included) also know you are not doing the right thing. Forking software is one thing, and is acceptable, but that is not what was done. You can not take open source software and brand it as your own proprietary product, released as a package or not. I am sure you feel a deep connection to it after all the years you've put into it, but it was not yours to foster in the first place. Worse than that you are trying to fork the entire community. It is getting ugly and you could fix it all so easily. Your improvements are good, so commit it to master, take the credit for it and be done with what could get nasty. Don't lose face on this. It was a gift to all of us on the condition that it remain open, it really is that simple. Have some respect for Jim and the team that gave us this gift.

Then there is the whole what happens if some dies (like Jim did) or pulls the plug? In an opensource environment, the project can live on, like it has. In the closed source case, not so much. Same reasons I moved away from DD-WRT (no source code) and favored Tomato. Same reason AMBE bugs the heck out of me... Aside from a good number of documents that the Hamvoip guy have out there, I don't see how the project gives back to the community, other than by providing something geared for appliance folks. Ham radio is and always has been a work together thing.

While various persons will quickly try and dispute these statements, to this date, NO ONE has provided ANY LEGAL PROOF that this information isn't truth. There continues to be plenty of hearsay and "oh, it's all GPL2" comments. The fact is that I firmly believe that app_rpt and some related software are dedicated to the public domain, as is stated in this document which was on the "official" Zapata Telephony website from 2005 through 2016. See the fine print at the bottom of this document: https://web.archive.org/web/20160315124205/http://zapatatelephony.org/Rpt_Flow.pdf AllStar Link Inc (ASL) is an organization which formed after Jim Dixon died INTESTATE (he had no will). I have not been presented with any PROOF that ASL has LEGAL ownership of *ANYTHING* related to Jim Dixon's estate. While various persons will quickly dispute this statement with hearsay, NO ONE has provided ANY LEGAL PROOF that this information isn't truth. If you wish to lookup Jim Dixon's probate case, the case number is: 17STPB08347 Go to this website and search for the case number: http://www.lacourt.org/casesummary/ui/index.aspx?casetype=probate As a matter of record, no HamVoIP code comes from any ASL source (e.g. github). Our codebase pre-dates ASL's existence. So, there isn't any "face to lose." The HamVoIP team has done nothing wrong. My earlier post, which is at the bottom of this message, is simply a response to the stupidity of implications being made by others. Enough said, I've got other more important fish to fry. Now let the flames (hearsay) fly. 73, David KB4FXC On Fri, 5 Jul 2019, Joshua Nulton wrote: > John don't go so far as to lose the dignity.

You wouldn?t publish your code while Jim Dixon was still alive, so for me this ownership argument doesn?t hold any water. Publish your code wherever you please. It?s yours, nobody should try to claim ownership of it and I for one would defend you if they did. You have made some great contributions, but you have also driven wedges into this community. I don?t care for how Mr. Fields has conducted himself at all. Just as I didn?t appreciate the constant bickering from Mr. Crompton about flaws in the usbradio driver that he could never seem to demonstrate or document. It was just childish nonsense. I was thrilled when Jim finally said ?if you can do it better, go do it?. That?s how open source works. Many others have contributed to AllStar?s maturity. Are you going to tell us that Supemon wasn?t based on Allmon or Allmon2? The code, Asterisk, apt_rpt, etc. etc. were all developed and published under GPL. Whomever is part of AllStarLink won?t own your code, nor have I seen anyone try to lay claim to anything you or Doug have written. The request has always simply been for you to comply with the GPL and publish your work. Stop this BS now.

Legal action likely isn't viable. Unless someone has a lot of money to piss away on legal folks. It next to never is in legal cases where money isn't being exchanged for a product or service. So they only people who win are the lawyers. The more logical thing is for either group "try to beat its own game"... And that is precisely what I see going on here. The best advise I can give ASL is, Work on the documentation as that is what I see as the hamvoip advantage. The wiki was a good move. Educate users. Things like iaxrpt, and allmon2 wouldn't exist in a closed source environment. Give and document credit where it is due to reinforce this. While it may be that the Hamvoip code base predates a GPL license, the problem is there is no way to substantiate without showing the source code. It could very well be a one way door, where all the ASL stuff, and addons that do share their code openly are borrowed improperly into a closed hamvoip source version. This is the problem the end users don't get. Basically building a "better" thing, but built off the backs of others. It's like buying a Chinese made electronics item and saying you are happy with the price, but then upset that more and more electronics jobs are going overseas. You can't have it two ways.

Here?s what I see at the top of my copy of app_rpt.c, from the 1.4pre23 version of app_rpt that exists in an installation of ASL. I?ll happily have a look at an earlier version. But if there?s another version of app_rpt.c with no explicit licensing terms, someone please point me at it and I?ll happily admit to my wrongness. But?admittedly I only go back to 2009, although I don?t think I?ve ever seen a version that did not contain this: /* * Asterisk -- An open source telephony toolkit. * * Copyright (C) 2002-2014, Jim Dixon, WB6NIL * * Jim Dixon, WB6NIL * Serious contributions by Steve RoDgers, WA6ZFT * * See http://www.asterisk.org for more information about * the Asterisk project. Please do not directly contact * any of the maintainers of this project for assistance; * the project provides a web site, mailing lists and IRC * channels for your use. * * This program is free software, distributed under the terms of * the GNU General Public License Version 2. See the LICENSE file * at the top of the source tree. */ Actually?I believe I have another version of app_rpt.c that mentions even more contributors, like W9SH for example. It also listed the GPL and referred to the license file in the Asterisk source tree. Actually, app_rpt.c was distributed with the GPL?ed Asterisk bistro for ages, even though it stopped working with anything after V1.4presomething. Xelatec had a version in their Xipar bistro that was based on 1.4.44pre-something, as I recall, also. I also think Jim?s views on the GPL were pretty clear from many of his posts on this list before his death. While he certainly encouraged the Arch linux effort that became hamvoip?I remember when this was going on, and Hamvoip ran only on the BBB?and he said ?If you can do better, have at it?, I?m confident in my opinion that the ?Contribute your changes back to the community? was strongly implied, if not directly stated. While I agree that my non-lawyerly opinion is that HamVOIP is in violation of the GPL, and while I also agree that this is not a division that?s any good for the ham community generally nor the ASL using community in particular, I don?t think Brian?s approach to addressing the problem is particularly helpful either. Some who are digging in their heels may be more willing to see the very valid points he makes if he did not give the arguments he poses the tone of a personal, bitter vendetta. Now?can we please try to *heal* this rift, rather than tearing it even wider? I?ve seen the arguments for why David has not released the source. Mostly, he has said that his changes are incompatible with non-HamVOIP distributions. OK, that?s fair, and it?s also fair to say that mixing code without properly taking into account any changes could be a pretty bad idea. But how do we know? More to the point, how do we know that someone else might see the changes, and further see a way to implement them in such a way as to make them available to everyone, in all branches of the code, or at least see a way to make something similar work? The idea that the rest of us simply can?t understand the changes and will just break more stuff if we try is a little insulting, and it doesn?t leave much room for learning. A good thing about GPL software is?lots of eyeballs can potentially spot flaws, make improvements, or see a better way. The disadvantage is that if you break it, you get to keep all the pieces. But that?s a small price to pay, IMO, for the benefits.

I did went for flat audio connection, as stated on the gtx900 page I used pin 7 and 11 for the receiver audio out. And I did put the dip switch close to the interfacing jack to off as specified. I then tried to do a radio tune rxnoise but it always fail. I want to use the dsp fonction of usbradio as it is way easier then getting a cor output on the gtx900.

My tailmessages are set at 45 minutes but if I want to cancel a club meeting, or set a weather alert, I can script in a new tail message but I would want to shorten the timer to lets say every 5 minutes. I don't really want to rewrite the rtp.conf just overwrite the timer in memory until the reboot or until I change it back.

Three changes were made to his rpt.conf file as noted here: 1. tailmessagetime=2700001 ; incremented to 2700001 to be easily found by DTMF control script - *in node stanza* 2. 84=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/tail45minutes.sh ; added DTMF Controllable bash script to change the rpt.conf variable - *in functions stanza* 3. 85=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/tail5minutes.sh ; added DTMF Controllable bash script to change the rpt.conf variable - *in functions stanza* In the rpt.conf file I modified the tail time from 2700000 to 2700001 to make that easy for the script to find. Easier than me dealing with SED and spaces anyway....I then added the DTMF command of *84 to set the tailmessage time to 45 minutes, and *85 to set the tailmessage time to 5 minutes. ALL 3 changes are commented on the file. The deal breaker: The script from 45 to 5 minutes will only work if it is currently set to 2700001, and the script from 5 minutes to 45 will only work if the variable is currently set to 300001. Basically if someone manually changes the time to anything other than 2700001 & 300001 neither script will work. First modify your rpt.conf file to match the above changes. Then upload the two additional scripts linked below, these 2 scripts need to be saved to the /usr/local/sbin/ and once there will need to be set to executable and set by typing the following four commands: sudo -s chmod u+x /usr/local/sbin/tail45minutes.sh chmod u+x /usr/local/sbin/tail5minutes.sh sudo asterisk -rx "rpt reload" Files linked: tail45minutes.sh tail5minutes.sh All should be set after that.

I think that's because the Pi crowd tends to turn off their nodes way more often than others. It does take a while for the IP address of recently powered up nodes propagate. Hamvoip fixed that but won't share the code so it might look like ASL registration is broken to some. VE2PF's theory of "the other distro playing with registration" isn't so far fetched. In fact, there's a whole lot of truth to that.

The AllStar brand started when the infrastructure (portal, registration, IP distribution and ham network) came to be as embodied in allstarlink.org. Back then AllStar was the ham network and app_rpt was the Asterisk application. I still like that delineation because anyone can use app_rpt (such as GMRS) but only hams can use the AllStar network.

Asterisk and app_rpt are based on concepts presented on the Zapatelephony web site. This bit of history is not well understood but Todd Lesser (who's name in on that site and is a current AllStar board member) was there through it all. That Zapatelephony site is about the circuit board. Read the whole http://zapatatelephony.org web site, not just the one page taken out of context. The Zapatelephony circuit board was released under public domain to lower the cost of PBX creation. Asterisk and app_rpt have been open source since day one.

YouTube link: https://youtu.be/SnOBoF85k0k The process requires the installation of 4 packages. 1. Apache2 (most likely have this installed already) 2. rsync (very small, lightweight and reliable) 3. ffmpeg to convert the audio 4. lame encoder to convert to mp3 codec Installation and configuration of everything is demonstrated in the YouTube tutorial video. If you don't want to type out the bash script it can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-z9UgW_L81MKl9eBKqMmDeT0xO9jl7qE The software mentioned above will still need installed as per video instructions. Quick overview is here: sudo -s apt update apt-get install apache2 apt-get install rsync apt-get install ffmpeg apt-get install lame mkdir /var/www/html/library Enjoy and if you have any questions, please post them on the official Allstar Community forum here: https://community.allstarlink.org/ 73's Jae KG5EBI -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

URL: From kg5ebi at gmail.com Mon Jul 8 22:55:11 2019 From: kg5ebi at gmail.com (Joshua Nulton) Date: Tue, 9 Jul 2019 05:55:11 +0700 Subject: [App_rpt-users] Recording your QSO's as an MP3 file In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I hope you do try it Russell, if you run into hiccups feel free to reach out. But after watching some your videos I am confident you can pull this mod off in under 10 minutes. As far as the few questions, I have it running in two different ways on 2 different servers. *Server #1* the script runs every 30 seconds by a cron job and the files are synced to Google Drive, not even hosted on the node server. Since my Drive account has 500GB of space I don't really need to think about deleting anything. *Server #2* the script runs on command only. I run an MQTT server on the host and a simple button on my phone to send an MQTT message. When the message trips from 0 (false) to 1 (true) the bash script executes for one run. If you are on a system that you are concerned with file space you could periodically (daily even) run a script that will purge any .mp3 file in said directory that is beyond XX days old. So in bash form it would look something like this with 21 being the day count, feel free to modify that number: #!/bin/bash find /var/www/html/library/ -type f -mtime +21 -name '*.mp3' -execdir rm -- '{}' \; done On Tue, Jul 9, 2019 at 5:33 AM Russell Thomas wrote: > I watched this today and I might give it a shot. > I'm assuming you just setup a crontab schedule to kick off the script? > > Also, do we need a delete script to remove them if the MP3s are older than > a month or week. > > 73, > Russell Thomas, KV4S > DMR TG: 240218 | YSF: US KV4S | D-STAR: XRF334R > Allstar: 47923 | IRLP: 4535 | EchoLink: KV4S-L > Web: http://KV4S.com > > On Mon, Jul 8, 2019, 2:57 AM Joshua Nulton wrote: > >> I have put together a <15 minute tutorial on everything needed to record >> the QSO's on your Allstar node, move them to an internet accessible web >> folder and convert them from large .WAV files (the compression used is not >> all that bad really) into manageable .MP3 files that will play back simply >> through your browser. >> >> YouTube link: https://youtu.be/SnOBoF85k0k >> >> The process requires the installation of 4 packages. >> >> 1.

We are often asked why Allstar with all of the new RF digital repeaters and their VOIP connection schemes out there. The best answer is open source, quality audio, and freedom to do what you want. Dstar, Fusion, DMR, etc are all at least partially if not completely proprietary systems?? To make matters even worse, they now they are monetizing on all the work many people have done to make Allstar what it is today by asking for people to send them money! I know there are some personality conflicts with Doug and some of the tech support people. I personally have tried to be the buffer and was rebuffed. There is no excuse not to release the code.

The idea is very cool and it would be fun to play with it more. Personally, I am not a fan of bringing the home assistants into the ham space, at least not on the air. I have used Amazon (echo) Alexa and Google Home both to link and unlink from various nodes, announce time/IP and reboot but the variables were pre-programmed with a few of my favorites, kind of like memory stations/channels. I have heard Siri on the air in the past. I do not like putting the audio on the air at all or letting people know that my node can be controlled by anyone's voice. Remember it is speech recognition, not voice recognition. I think Pierre Martel is working on a project similar to what you describe, using a keyword to start listening to commands on the node itself - inline with the audio live. So if configured properly right in the middle of his QSO transmission he could say "We've been getting a lot of rain here... Allstar Connect to node 45373... Let's see what John's weather is like over in Madrid". Interesting concept, and a great goal to practice scripting, but far too insecure for my liking to be put into play on one of my public nodes. Private node? Perhaps.

They all work well and they dont need any links to a server online like alexa or google home. My problem is with splitting the audio from the receiver to both app-rpt and wake word and other software . Then sending the answer only to the node where the command been sent from. They answer could realy be some local play command, and a ifttt server that do the script needed when a certain command is understood.. But when a node is connected to anynode every node audio could trigger a wake word trigger and do a command.. And thats what slowing me.

But after watching some your videos I am confident you can pull this mod off in under 10 minutes. As far as the few questions, I have it running in two different ways on 2 different servers. Server #1 the script runs every 30 seconds by a cron job and the files are synced to Google Drive, not even hosted on the node server. Since my Drive account has 500GB of space I don't really need to think about deleting anything.Server #2 the script runs on command only. I run an MQTT server on the host and a simple button on my phone to send an MQTT message. When the message trips from 0 (false) to 1 (true) the bash script executes for one run. If you are on a system that you are concerned with file space you could periodically (daily even) run a script that will purge any .mp3 file in said directory that is beyond XX days old. So in bash form it would look something like this with 21 being the day count, feel free to modify that number: #!/bin/bash find /var/www/html/library/ -type f -mtime +21 -name '*.mp3' -execdir rm -- '{}' \;done On Tue, Jul 9, 2019 at 5:33 AM Russell Thomas wrote: I watched this today and I might give it a shot.I'm assuming you just setup a crontab schedule to kick off the script?

I am using it to monitor the connection status to other nodes. On the app side on the phone there is an icon that looks like an LED. If the node is connected to my node the LED is green. If it is not connected the LED goes to red. Additional alerts, vibrations, sound alarms, auto reconnect scripts and more could be set up, but just the visual indicator is enough for my use case. Notice though the delay.... it is only about 300ms between the connection status changing to the app seeing it. That is a pretty quick notification rate. The best thing about the MQTT protocol is that the system is so lightweight that you probably would not even see a 1% increase in system resource usage. Super light, super fast, free, open source and very extensible - what more could ya' want or of a messaging protocol?

Anyone with some ideas or experience with this variant of the 888? I?m a bit lost. The Crompton guide (http://crompton.com/hamradio/baofeng888/ ) stops with the 2015 ver7 iteration of this radio.

Here?s an image of the back of the main board in the > radio: The only thing about these radios which is good is the price. In RF, audio, and interface performance they are truly terrible. I've attempted to get discriminator audio out of them, and it's impossible as the entire radio from RF input to audio output is on a single chip. This means you're limited to using a simpleusb to drive them. That said, yes, they change the boards all the time, and there are about a dozen different variants of the 888 radio I've seen from different sellers. But at under 10 USD per radio, even Macklemore can buy two. If during probing around, you blow it up, toss it and start over with the other one :) I've not seen this latest version you describe, but it looks like you may have to use some wirewrap wire and come off the IC on the component side of the board directly now. This isn't hard, but will require some skills to solder to the pins of the SMD parts directly.

This is due to the IP for your nodes in extnodes being the public IP. This means node 49267 will try to connect to the public IP for 50026.

There have been numerous methods shared over the years to sync to Drive, they seem to go in and out of style depending on which is working the best as Google modifies their code. I think the current flavor of the week is called drivesync, a tutorial that is easy to follow can be found here: https://www.2daygeek.com/drivesync-google-drive-sync-client-for-linux/ Personally my method is quite a bit more complex as I sync to a database on firebase, but the above link should get the job done for you.

Same problem, I can see the VU moving, no audio, but I can get audio from the program itself (like hitting the connect button when it's already connected gives you a 'bonk' noise).? I have matched settings from the laptop sitting right next to it, played with the audio devices, etc, no joy. Also does not key up the node.

In addition, the files are stored on each node locally, and does not have to be sent out through the network. This differs from both localplay and playback, which actually transmit the file over the network. Is there any interface or command that I can manually send out this type of telemetry packet? For example, broadcast a packet that tells the nodes to say "Node ABC connected to node XYZ" even though the event never happened?
