Hmm, I'm not sure why they're not running for you. I just tried this
with no problem:

Right, like I said, it's because you're running it from outside its
directory, which makes it unable to find the locale files:
> iz5fsa at iz5fsa-itx:~$ d-rats-0.2.8b7/d-rats
If you change the above to:
> cd d-rats-0.2.8b7
> ./d-rats
Then it should behave properly.
However, I just spent a bunch of time working on a proper
install/package routine for linux. The next beta I post will have a
better install routine that will make this problem go away for you and
will also install icons in the menu, etc.
I will post that today.

I think this is the same problem, because it's unable to open the APRS
icon maps.

Hi all,
I just posted D-RATS 0.2.8b8. Not much in the way of noticeable changes
in this release, but some packaging stuff that is worthy of another
round of testing. This release was supposed to just be the big
configuration dialog change, but stretched on and on because of an
influx of feature requests early on, and a lack of my time to work on it
at the end. So, I'd like to call this the official 0.2.8 if possible,
and would appreciate a final smoke test to make sure it's okay. I think
that W4CPU and IZ5FSA are the two that will care about this the most.
The changes are:
- Fix (hopefully) a GPS parsing bug
- Vastly improve the packaging on linux
Linux users now have an install process (and soon may have RPMs and DEBs
as well). To install using the new method, download and unpack the tar
file per normal. Then go in and execute the installer:
$ cd d-rats-0.2.8b8
$ sudo python setup.py install
If you're already root, you can omit the "sudo". Assuming this process
succeeds, you should get all three applications in the "HamRadio"
section of your applications menu. I would appreciate reports from
people using various distros as that will help me know that it's working
properly.
Thanks!

I seem to recall there being some sort of bug in the dependency chain
there. I think that uninstalling libxml and then installing libxslt
*first* gets around it, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I remember
hitting this and just having to monkey with it until the package system
agreed to behave.

Hi all,
I just posted D-RATS 0.2.9b1 with the following changes:
- Add "destination" argument to incoming email accounts. "Form" turns
emails into forms, "Chat" broadcasts the content of the email as chat
traffic.
- Fix DPRS parsing in the case where the checksum is only one byte
- Enlighten the email forwarding thread about the "connected to
internet" toggle.
- Add email access controls to allow restricting email forwarding by
station or destination.
- Add inbound email auto-send. When email arrives, if a station has
access, a form transfer will be automatically initiated.
With this beta, you should be able to set your station up to send and
receive mail automatically on behalf of RF stations. Of course you want
to only use this in very controlled situations.

Hi Dan,
Outstanding Stuff. Let see if I get this new email capability right!?
1. The selection of whether an incoming email is either directed to a
specific station or sent our in Braodcast (chat) mode is made at the account
level. Correct?
2. The email access function allows the "Gateway Station" to set permissions
by call sign either incoming , outgoing or both. Correct?
3. When an incoming email is received to an account that is set up for
"form" relay, an email form will be generated and sent to the station in the
"to" field of the email if that station is allowed incoming email access.
Correct?
4. Given that the answer to the previous question is yes, incoming mail can
only be relayed as a "form" to a specific station if it is in reply to an
original outgoing message as the "to" header has that stations call sign.
Correct?
5. If I am following this correctly, there is no way to send a "form" email
to a specific station from a regular email client as the "to" field would
only have the account name (i.e. donotreply at danplanet.com) in it and not
KK7DS (donotreply at danplanet.com)
I have not yet had time to test it, but will do so tomorrow. I will let you
know of my findings.
Also thanks for fixxing the tie between the "Connected to Internet" setting
and the email piece.
Great Job!

Right, specifying whether a station can send email from RF->Internet,
receive mail from Internet->RF (automatically), or both.
Forms that come in for a station that doesn't have automatic forwarding
permissions can still be send manually via the usual method.

Right, the incoming mail processing logic has to have some way to know
that the email is destined for a specific station.

There is, if you're careful. If you type the following into your
address field of your mail client exactly, then it should behave properly:
N4DIB <davesrfgateway at gmail.com>
Then it will work. I can work out some other ways to specify the
recipient, like a special tag in the subject, etc. However, as you
said, replies will work as expected.
Further, if you add an address book entry and set the "name" field to
exactly the person's callsign, and the "address" field to the gateway
email address, then you should be set as well.

Cool.
I don't think you need to do anything on the incoming piece. Having to
create an entry in your address book like N4DIB <davesrfgateway at gmail.com>
is not a big deal and may cut down on spam.
I will be testing the Amber alert email setup tomorrow and let you know how
it works. The ability to tailor actions by account should provide enough
flexibility to accomplish all of this.
Now for my Xmas wish list.
>Enable a "pull" trigger for emails received to a station set up for
incoming forms so that a mobile station can send a ping type request to the
gateway and receive those messages that have been received for them. This
would allow the mobile user to retrieve emails when in range of a Dstar
gateway system. (Store and Forward) This would be possible using call
sign routing from the mobile station (assuming the gateway station has call
sign auto write turned on ).
>Expand the levels for the Map Download utility to download to the street
level (level 17)
> Provide an information field in the static location database.
> Enable a "right click" on a station and access the information field.
Extremely important when accessing information about the capabilities of an
emergency facility.
>Provide for multiple recipients in the mail form (outgoing)
>Establish group send for incoming emails. ( sort of the inverse of above)
distribution list in the windows world
>Provide an audible action when a new message is received.
>Enable logic to automatically play received audio files. (send wav type
files to the sound card) This would allow NWS, EBS, and Amber alerts to be
announced when received.
>The kitchen sink :)
The DRATS community is growing exponentially.
Keep up the great work.
