[App_rpt] turning off announcements
by Shayne Hughes 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

Is there a way to turn off the all announcements when one node connects to another and the id'er for a node? In particular I'm thinking of when I connect a repeater to a remote base on the same system. I'd like to connect to the remote base and not have that be announced on the remote base. If there's an example config for this somewhere, I'd appreciate a pointer to it. I went through all the ones I could find. Thanks, Shayne

[App_rpt] address wrong
by Jeff Lavoie 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

When I reply to messages I keep having to change app_rpt(a)marauder.illiana.net to app_rpt(a)lists.illiana.net so that the message is not returned to me. Is this done purposely for spam? Jeff

The ISO is still available from the CVS location. I was worried the site was gone for good and worried the package might have died! Thank you for the note!!!

[App_rpt] FYI easyvoxbox.org site status
by Steven Henke 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

I got a call from Mark Barry who produces the EasyVoxBox package. Mark tells me that he had to move his site on short notice and it will be down for a couple of days. So if anyone desparately needs the EasyVoxBox ISO before then, contact me and I'll help. 73, Steve Henke, W9SH P.S. Thanks for the recent fix Jim. It's working great!

[App_rpt] happy version of app_rpt
by Jim Duuuude 27 Feb '08

27 Feb '08

Well I made a promise that the first second there may be a stable version available, Id let all of you know. I dont have one that I could really commit to being stable, but I do have one which looks like a good candidate. Check out the source of app_rpt from the latest version on the xelatec.com SVN server. If its still unstable, sorry, this is still in testing. It looks good so far though. JIM WB6NIL

[App_rpt] Effective bug reporting guidelines
by Stephen Rodgers 24 Feb '08

24 Feb '08

Message to all users: One or two sentences describing a bug is of little to no help. When reporting a bug, please include as much data about it as you can including but not limited to: 1. Hardware configuration used. 2. A complete detailed description of your issue. Including the a sequence of events leading up to the issue. 3. Whether it is 100% repeatable or not. 4. Linux distribution and version 5. Version of asterisk. 6. Version of app_rpt.c 7. Outputs of log files or asterisk CLI console with verbose and debug options enabled. There are two commands available from the CLI "rpt set debug level X" and "core set verbose X" where 'X' is a number from 0-7. Try enabling these two debug aids to see if any clues emerge on the console. Be prepared to temporarily grant SSH root user access to your system in some cases. Finally, please limit your posts to one bug/issue per post. We will be setting up a formal bug reporting system using Mantis in the near future. Steve.

Re: [App_rpt] Workin out the bugs...
by Jim Duuuude 24 Feb '08

I hate to say it, but when I added the VOX functionality to the autopatch, I inadvertently broke the path that was required to have locally-generated call progress tones end up on the air. Unfortunately, these modes are mutually-exclusive the way it sits right now, so I am going to have to find a way of making it both work. ugh! > From: w4rfj(a)comcast.net > To: app_rpt(a)lists.illiana.net > Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2008 22:46:44 -0500 > Subject: Re: [App_rpt] Workin out the bugs... > > Great!

Re: [App_rpt] Workin out the bugs...

Thanks Roger. By the way, the problem isn't limited only to SIP. I put some extension logic in my radio asterisk server to dial an extension on my phone asterisk server from the radio asterisk server via IAX, and I get no ringing sound either. This is either an Asterisk bug or an App_rpt bug, This is something which has been broken as it used to work. I will have to discuss this with Jim Dixon. Steve WA6ZFT Roger F.
