Hello, I am in the process of trying sdr on openbsd with the rtlsdr blog v4 as hardware. I already installed rtl-sdr package for drivers and they work fine.
As a second phase, i tried dump1090 from packages. I am able to get some airplanes messages. This package has an option to display discovered planes on a map. As the main author said, it was work in progress without high priority, so the display on the map job was not finished and the result is far from satisfaction or usability: small icons on the map, no info on tooltips, etc. Having a look on the whole parts, i was able to spot /usr/local/share/dump1090/gmap.html as the file where all the code for map display is located. Reading a little bit of the framework i was able to do some modifications and got a decent map display of the airplanes and some info were added. I am not an experienced individual ready to work with ports, so i have a few questions: 1. Could be anyone of OpenBSD users interested to have those modification applied to the original port? 2. Is it alright to modify the original sources and keep the name for the project? 3. Can i send the new modified file to ports@ so someone add a relevant patch to the original port? Thank you.
