gpsdproxy does not check if it is already running

Bryce Nesbitt — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 20:12:15 -0000

Should not be possible to get multiples started up via the init.d script:

bnesbitt 32143 0.0 0.0 24644 1188 ? Ss 13:09 0:00 /usr/local/sbin/gpsdproxy -i MNC-TestPC-1 -t 10 -h obviously.com -p 5151 -s 127.0.0.1 -r 2947 -f /var/run/gpsdproxy.pid -d 3 -b

INSTALL document should mention libgps

Bryce Nesbitt — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 09:36:26 -0000

Now that you depend on libgps, it would be good to mention that in the INSTALL document.
Else your readers will get:

ubuntu:gpsdproxy-0.1.0> make
cc -c -o gpsdproxy.o gpsdproxy.c
gpsdproxy.c:34:17: fatal error: gps.h: No such file or directory

So the full instructions are more like
--------------------------------------------------------
Install libgps and the development headers (sudo install libgps-dev on ubuntu or debian)
make && make install

Transmission does not resume if connection fails and resumes

Niccolo Rigacci — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:34:44 -0000

I run gpsdproxy on my OpenMoko FreeRunner.

If the GPRS connection is stopped and resumed later, the data transmission is not resumed.

I traced the UPD packets outgoing through the GPRS connection (ppp0 interface): it seems that the source address switches to 192.168.0.202 (usb0 interface) and does not switch back to the public IP address when the ppp connection is resumed.

Closing and reopening the UDP socket should solve this problem.

Host hangs on shutdown

Niccolo Rigacci — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:53:22 -0000

I installed gpsdproxy and the associated start/stop script on my FreeRunner (OpenMoko 2008.12).

When I issue an halt or reboot command, the shutdown sequence does not proceed.

I suspect that the program should fork detaching stdin/out/err, e.g. using the daemon(3) call.
