[Xastir] OFF TOPIC - howto aprsd 2.2.5-15 on Fedora 8

2008-01-03 Thread Tate Belden
I MUST upgrade my server - it's under-powered and out of date. Now, I've got new hardware and an up to date distro. However, what's been holding me back has been my inability to get aprsd to compile on Fedora 8. So, tonite I knuckled under, did a LOT of googling and at least have it up and runn

Yes - that step is mentioned in all the instructions and the how-tos. But since proj-datumgrid wasn't also upgraded - it's still the same version, namely 1.3, available when Proj-4.5.0 was current - I didn't see the need to re-refer to it again once more all over. But you're right - if you d

FWIW, It's been upgraded to 4.6.0 - re-compiled xastir on Fedora 8 on two different machines. No issues detected. ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/proj/proj-4.6.0.tar.gz Changes: This release reworks pj_transform() to avoid applying ellipsoid to ellipsoid transformations as a datum shift when no

2007-11-09 Thread Tate Belden
Encryption over the internet should be all but trivial to implement - and fully legal (in the US at least) as well. However, any and all of that traffic would have to be blocked from going out any I-gate - somehow. In order to go out on RF, it would first have to be decrypted and then transmit
