It sounds then like you want some better behavior about how gpsd finds and sends to these non-gpsd-created control sockets. That was not clear to me from your previous mail. When you read the sources to find out how it's controlled now, what did you find? > As for changing compile time options, most of my users use gpsd from their > distribution, and getting them to recompile is likely out of the question. > Also, that would move gpsd's own sockets, which they might not want to do. The point is to get a long-term fix and have the packaging systems change, if that makes sense.
