I've downloaded copies of pyDECnet from two
places:
1:
svn://akdesign.dyndns.org/pydecnet/trunk/pydecnet (using svn)
2:
http://akdesign.dyndns.org:8080/resources/public/index.html
The current version of code at the svn is revision 653.
The current version of the package is V1.1.0-rc2
Is there a difference between the two?
Which is the best source for pyDECnet?
If you visit the page at
http://akdesign.dyndns.org:8080/resources/public/index.html
it says the source for pyDECnet (now at V1.1.0) is now maintained on GitHub
at
https://github.com/pkoning2/pydecnet
This is where I git clone’d it from when I recently upgraded my Raspberry
Pi from buster to bookworm (and it involved some juggling with python in a
virtual environment as described in the doc/install.txt document).
I recall Paul posting an announcement to the HECnet list about this last
year.
My configuration is rather simple though - as I’ve just got a single
Multinet link to Wiz’s area router (I’ve redacted the IPv4 address a.b.c.d
on port #), essentially just -
circuit eth-0 Ethernet pcap:eth0 --random-address
circuit dmc-35 Multinet a.b.c.d:#:connect --cost 5
routing 35.699 --type l2router
node @/home/pi/HECnet/nodenames.dat
system --ident "PyDECnet on TNRTR (35.699)"
http --https-port 0 --http-port 8000 -4
api
where the nodenames.dat file is the HECnet node list I fetch from
MIM::HECNET:nodenames.dat periodically.
