Package: ax25-tools Version: 0.0.8-13.1 Severity: normal kissnetd assumes old-style PTYs, which are no longer supported.
The newer version does support them. It is available from http://www.linux-ax25.org/wiki/CVS -- http://www.linux-ax25.org/pub/ax25-tools/ax25-tools-0.0.10-rc2.tar.gz and may also need the new library http://www.linux-ax25.org/pub/libax25/libax25-0.0.12-rc2.tar.gz One other note: debian/copyright should be updated to reflect the new website. http://pi8cdr.halerbrug.nl:808/cmd?cmd=READ+LINUX+34 has instructions for using the new system: My english is horrible, but I try to tell you, how to use the ham-applications under the new unix98-pseudo-terminals. The actually ax25-tools (0.0.10-rc2) and ax25-apps (0.0.8-rc2) packages are compatible with the new unix98-pseudo terminals (programs: ax25ipd, kissattach, net2kiss, kissnetd, mkiss and m6pack). There is also a new tfkiss-version (1.25), which can work with the new pseudo-terminals. The packages are available as source under <http://www.linux-ax25.org> (without tfkiss). There are also rpm-packages for opensuse <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/hamradio/> The unix98-pseudo terminal has got only one master file "/dev/ptmx". If a program open this file a corresponding client file is opened automatically. The name of this file is "/dev/pts/NR". "NR" stands for a number, which cannot forseen. Every ax25-program above, who opens the file /dev/ptmx shows you the corresponding client-file on stdout screen: -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ax25-tools depends on: ii libax25 0.0.11-6.1 ax25 library for hamradio applicat ii libc6 2.11.2-6+squeeze1 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime ax25-tools recommends no packages.
