I asked a question and then answered it myself, once again. Although there is no documentation in the Knowledge Base that I could find, if you click on Developers on app-rpt.qrvc.com it will help with updating the app-rpt module. For anyone else running ACID, here's the steps I tool. /root/acid/astdn.sh (Make sure asterisk is stopped) cd /usr/src/asterisk/apps mv app_rpt.c app_rpt.c.original (or some other name, just back it up incase something goes wrong) svn export svn://qrvc.com/projects/allstar/astsrc-1.4.23-pre/trunk/asterisk/apps/app_rpt.c cd .. make make install /root/acid/astup.sh (Start asterisk again) Perhaps someone could put this into a script for updating. I would not know exactly how to do that because you would have to somehow make sure the "make" command went well bebfore doing "make install". That's beyond me right now.

This might be what you're looking for:

http://app-rpt.qrvc.com/node/74

looks like in /root/acid there should be a script called astupd.sh

Is it possible to update the app_rpt in ACID? When I dial the *82 it tells me the version is 0.174 and I'd like to have 0.183 or later for the cop,48 feature. If it's possible, how would I go about doing this?

Thanks, Jeff

That worked great except that the "svn export" and the "svn://....." were supposed to be on the same line. maybe my e-mail or the mailing list seperated it because it was too long. Once I joined them together, I caught it before trying it, it worked exactly as it should. Thanks for the help, perhaps you could get this into ACID permanantly. Or at least posted on the app_rpt web site.

I love scripts, and I just so happened to be sitting here working on my own, so good timing lol:

#!/bin/bash # script to update to latest app_rpt.c file from SVN repository

# let's stop asterisk first /root/acid/astdn.sh

cd /usr/src/asterisk/apps mv app_rpt.c app_rpt.c.original svn export svn://qrvc.com/projects/allstar/astsrc-1.4.23-pre/trunk/asterisk/apps/app_rpt.c cd ..

# let's compile and if it fails notify me make if [ $? -gt 0 ] then echo "Failure: Unable to compile app_rpt.c!" exit 255 fi make install

# restart asterisk /root/acid/astup.sh

I don't have an ACID install to test this on (I use Debian), and this was quick and dirty based on what you listed below, so if you try and it breaks you get to keep both pieces :D

On another note, I finally got around to updating my scripts for installing app_rpt under Debian Lenny (it's been on my to do list since Lenny was released, yea I know :P):

http://www.k1lnx.net/debapprpt.tar.gz

This will build a fully functioning app_rpt system from the latest SVN sources at QRVC.

Here's a challenge for the people who know the programming. I'm trying to figure out how to make the repeater play a sound file when enableing or disableing things. Right now it just says the letters one at a time, like RPTENA or TOTENA/TOTDIS. I would like it to be able to play a custom sound file (if it exists) in the sounds/rpt directory. I tried playing around with the source code a bit to make this happen for the last 3 hours, but I failed. Surprisingly I didn't run into many errors compiling (I did fix the ones I got), but I just couldn't get it to play anything. Any ideas?

Suggestions: The sayfile() function is your friend. How to cleanly implement: Look for a file stem in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/cop with the same name as the COP neumonic and play that file if it exists. (eg rptena.ulaw, rptdis.gsm, etc). There is already a piece of code you could steal which does just this when announcing node names called saynode() which could be copied and modified to do the a similar sort of thing with cop neumonics. This saycop() function would attempt to look up a substitute sound file and play the neumonic if one isn't found. If you get it working, I'd like to have a look at your code and if it is cleanly done, merge it in to the source repository. There are not enough programmers on this project to support all the ideas and things everyone wants. Steve WA6ZFT
