 fully in the spirit of release early, release often we want to

why do we need another distribution? The better solution would be to
include the packages into debian, isn't it? This way everyone benefits.

One of your goals seems to be the prebuild tarball. I've downloaded
one some time ago and found an authorized_keys file in root's .ssh
directory. I guess it was just accidentally included, but... huuu...

  I'm sure that someone uf you uses debian with gps... how in the

  if i type

  it works here. Are you testing it with zhone?
 
 I'm having the same experience.
 fso-gpsd used to work fine and now all of a sudden after upgrades it has
 refused to work for a while.

Hmm, I just reinstalled frameworkd and it works without problems.
Can you try the same?

1. backup
2. remove everything fso related
   $ dpkg -P fso-config-gta02 fso-frameworkd fso-frameworkd-wireless-glue 
fso-gpsd fso-sounds-openmoko-nonfree nodm gpsd
3. I got some warnings about non empty directories and removed them manually
4. install
   $ apt-get update
   $ apt-get install fso-frameworkd fso-frameworkd-wireless-glue 
fso-sounds-openmoko-nonfree fso-config-gta02
5. disbable frameworkd
   $ mv /etc/init.d/fso-frameworkd /etc/init.d/fso-frameworkd.backup
6. reboot
7. ssh and start screen with 3 windows (in this order):
   $ frameworkd # and wait some seconds
   $ /usr/share/doc/fso-frameworkd/examples/ogpsd_resource.py
   $ /usr/share/doc/fso-frameworkd/examples/ogpsd_signals.py
8. go outside for at least 10 minutes
9. check screen window 3

optional: strace the pid/fd (get them with `lsof | grep ttySAC1`)

 so far there's no statement of the fso developers, what that means -- and  
 according to the git ogpsd wasn't changed for more than a month now, so  
 downgrading seems not really sensible.

Daniel asked for a _complete_ log just 3 hours after the initial bug
report (Ticket #265). But no answer until now...

 it's accelerated - but likely polling the command queue status as you have no
 interrupts thanks to the linux kernel's policy of not exporting interrupts to
 userspace, so you're stuck with a poll loop. i can't remember if glamo had a
 i'm done interrupt for the command queue or operations - i know it had
 several interrupts it can generate (but as the kernel wouldnt allow userspace
 to make use of them i pretty much ignored them).

???

What's wrong with: interrupt handler - wait queue - file operations read/poll?

 so u can patch and create a specific driver just for glamo just to export an
 interrupt - and it'll never go upstream most likely, and the kernel supports
 no generic hook to an interrupt from userspace. one way or another something
 will block your path (be it getting patches upstream back to mainline kernel 
 or
 just living without interrupts etc.). this is last i checked. 

I have never tried it but userspace i/o [1] is a more or less generic
way to export interrupts to userspace (in the kernel since ~2.6.23).

Re: [debian gps] How to check gps

 To check the raw data coming out of the device, do 
 
 cat /dev/ttySAC1 | grep GGA
 
 This should give you a line of data every second or so. Once a fix has
 been established, these lines contain latitude,longitude values in
 plain ASCII. The gpsd daemon (whether true gpsd or fso-gpsd) should
 make this data available on port 2947. Check this with
 
 nc 127.0.0.1 2947 | grep GGA
 
 If the daemon works, you should get the same data here, as above. Good
 luck.

Exactly this is the most common problem. Please...

* do NOT echo 1  neo1973-pm-gps.0/pwron
* do NOT read from /dev/ttySAC1
* do NOT write to /dev/ttySAC1
* do NOT run the original gpsd

Then it should just work.
