Doug, I am "the person" that "claims" it works, as you well know from direct mail you sent when I posted back in December. We have been running it 24 hours a day 7 days a week since then. The decision we made was to give it a try, to fix what was broke if possible. You make your decision, we will make ours. Since both the Pi and the BBB will only support one URI, they are both computerizes. I posted over a month ago that it does work. I offered anyone that asked a link to the tarball. Anyone who responded was sent the link. Any suggestions we added. I don't claim it a package, I don't claim support. No more no less then the overall AllStar system. Not all of us need you to hold our hand. Thanks to Jim we have a very nice system and we support each other just fine. I will answer questions, I will lend support when asked. You may want to check the history here, I've been helping people for quite a few years. I just did not create a image. I wrote up some notes and proved it can be done. Steve N4IRS
Just to set this straight. I am not dictating anything. The question was asked and I gave my opinion. You do what you want. We have already investigated it and I believe made the right decision based on a lot of studies by more than one person. If the person or persons that claim to have the pi running want to release and support a package that is fine but to say "yeah it works" and give that expectation to others who don't have any idea even how to start getting it to work raises false hopes. Most people don't want to mess with software and hardware. They just want something to work.
It is no small task to put together a package and support it. Most people appreciate what we have done. That being said anyone is certainly free to do whatever they want. Experimentation is the name of the game.
