Re: [Viking-devel] Bug squashing for v1.0

2010-01-13 Thread Guilhem Bonnefille
An other significant bug, IMHO, is the #2766373: GPS on ttyUSB3 is not
accessable
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=2766373group_id=83870atid=570954

One solution is to change the current PARAM_PORT parameter nature.
Currently, it is an integer, used as index for a predefined list of
ports. I suggest to replace it with raw string, storing the effective
port value (/dev/ttyUSB3 for example).

Such change will brake compatibility between versions. Perhaps can we
find a way to stay ascendant compatible.

Any other idea?

It doesn't make sense to encode pathnames to special files anyway,
because it isn't portable.  On NetBSD, it's /dev/dtyU0 or /dev/ttyU0
instead.  So I agree that having a string and removing the magic list
makes sense.

Probably gpsd should be the main documented approach anyway.
