Hello all, This is KG4SGP, Jimmy Carter. I just started maintaining a package called minimodem (General Purpose audio FSK modem) and was wondering if you all thought it should be added to the list of packages for the Special Interest Group. KG4SGP - Jim

Re: aprsdigi and libax25-devel

You can install the SRPM and then rebuild on your particular release of Fedora: wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/aprsdigi/files/aprsdigi/3.5.1/aprsdigi-3.5.… rpmbuild --rebuild aprsdigi-3.5.1-6.src.rpm sudo rpm -Uvh rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/aprsdigi-3.5.1-6.x86_64.rpm (exact path names may vary depending on how you set up for RPM building) I've been hoping to get it added to the Fedora-hams distro but I lack the time to learn how to become a Fedora maintainer (I actually did start the process). I would appreciate it if a Fedora-hams maintainer would be willing to help me. 73 de Alan N2YGK On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 4:29 AM, Martin Airs <martin(a)airs.me.uk> wrote: > On Thursday 01 Aug 2013 17:38:07 Alan Crosswell wrote: > > Yeah, sorry about that.

aprsdigi and libax25-devel
by Martin Airs Aug. 1, 2013

Aug. 1, 2013

good day all, I'm trying to build aprsdigi on my f19 x86_64 machine, but I get a failure with... testparse.c:19:33: fatal error: netax25/kernel_ax25.h: No such file or directory I have built aprsdigi before on an older fedora, and it built fine, but now it appears that libax25-devel no longer supplies netax25/kernel_ax25.h I wonder if the package maintainer for libax25_devel reads this list and may have a solution or patch to get around this little issue. Any help gratefully received.... Martin (G7VIA)

Installing AX25 on Fedora 17
by Jeff Stidham Feb. 18, 2013

Feb. 18, 2013

Good day! I'm a newbie to Linux in general, and Fedora in particular. I am working to set up a laptop running Fedora 17 as my ham station computer. But, since I'm a newbie to Linux, I'm stalled at getting AX25 up and running. Eventually, I want to run RMS Gateway on the computer (among other applications, but that's the start), so I went to the LinuxRMS Yahoo talk group for help. Charles Schuman, K4GBB, was very helpful with his "HOW TO" page (http://184.4.148.122:800/docs/Myhowto.html) but he works in Debian, and I'm having difficulty in "translating". I also hit the Fedora forum and found that (if I read things rightly) the kernel-modules-extra RPM contains all of the AX25 tools and applications. I installed that, and I don't think I messed things up. But I can't run MAKE; when I look into the directories (assuming that I have them set up correctly), there is no MAKEFILE. And I can't find mkiss using "lsmod". And there the "Linux Amateur Radio AX.25 HOWTO" (http://tldp.org/HOWTO/AX25-HOWTO/x13.html) which provides pretty detailed instructions, but is fairly generic, and I fall back into the "Am I understanding this correctly?" rut. My questions are: 1. Is there a "HOW TO" for installing AX25 on Fedora? Or something that a newbie can understand? Or.....if what I've found above is what there is, might I get some assistance in working through the steps? 2. Is there a tutorial or "Dummies" write up on how compiling kernels is supposed to work? I haven't grasped this (apparently) very basic concept. 3. Am I missing something else? If I understand matters correctly, if I can get the AX25 ports configured, I should have clear sailing. But I am not certain of my path to that point. Thank you for your time. 73, Jeff Stidham AL1Q

Linrad
by Leif Asbrink Jan. 1, 2013

Jan. 1, 2013

Hi, The other day I happened to find Linrad on a wish list here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/AmateurRadio/Packages After consulting a specialist in copyright I have changed the policy and put Linrad under the MIT license. (Previously 'free for anyone for any purpose') I was told that I could change my mind and declare I want money with the old unlicensed statement. Now, with MIT I can not withdraw a license that I have granted and MIT gives anyone the right to do anything:-) Linrad is easily installed under Fedora, but I am afraid jack and portaudio have to be installed from source since those packages are too old. Linrad uses libsoft66 librtlsdr and libperseus-sdr which are all GNU and those would also have to be included. I have no idea how to generate packages and I do not know how serious the interest in Linrad might be among Fedora users. 73 Leif / SM5BSZ
