* Package name : pat Version : 0.3.0 Upstream Author : Martin Hebnes Pedersen <martin.h.peder...@gmail.com> * URL : http://getpat.io/ * License : MIT (Expat) Programming Lang: Go Description : Winlink client with basic messaging capabilities Pat is a cross platform Winlink client with basic messaging capabilities. It is the primary sandbox/prototype application for the wl2k-go project, and provides both a command line interface and a responsive (mobile-friendly) web interface. It is mainly developed for Linux, but are also known to run on OS X, Windows and Android. Features * Message composer/reader (basic mailbox functionality). * Auto-shrink image attachments. * Post position reports with location from local GPS, browser location or manual entry. * Rig control (using hamlib) for winmor PTT and QSY. * CRON-like syntax for execution of scheduled commands (e.g. QSY or connect). * Built in http-server with web interface (mobile friendly). * Git style command line interface. * Listen for P2P connections using multiple modes concurrently. * AX.25, telnet, WINMOR and ARDOP support. * Experimental gzip message compression ---- I have used pat and it works pretty well. It's the first time I'm able to use WinLink in a meaningful way in Linux. I remember trying the Windows binary in Wine a while back and it was really painful. Now there's a nice interface, both web GUI and commandline. I have yet to test AX-25, but i'm hopeful to get good results. There are a lot of vendored dependencies present in the source, however: github.com/bndr/gotabulate github.com/elazarl/go-bindata-assetfs github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify github.com/gorhill/cronexpr github.com/gorilla/context github.com/gorilla/mux github.com/gorilla/websocket github.com/howeyc/gopass github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata github.com/la5nta/wl2k-go github.com/mattn/go-runewidth github.com/microcosm-cc/bluemonday github.com/nfnt/resize github.com/peterh/liner github.com/spf13/pflag golang.org/x/crypto golang.org/x/net golang.org/x/sys golang.org/x/text I'm unsure which one are already in debian and which ones are not. Of the above, only the following are missing from Debian, which is pretty awesome: github.com/bndr/gotabulate github.com/la5nta/wl2k-go and the latter is basically the library backend for pat. I would be happy to comaintain this or delegate maintainership: just scratching an itch here. I would also love to get help from the golang packages as I have never packaged golang stuff before. An equivalent free software of this is "paclink-unix", but it's apparently less user-friendly. A comparative of different winlink clients is available here: https://www.winlink.org/ClientSoftware
