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?
Also, does anyone have any configuration samples they might care to share. I have a
working one but I think I am lacking in creativity to make the most out of pyDECnet.
And while I'm at it, is Supratim's pyDECnet monitor page custom? Because it sure
doesn't look a lot like mine. But I wouldn't be surprised that his is or that I
messed something up on mine.

Thanks!

Hi John - good to hear from you. While others will surely also respond, (a) I use the
svn:// repository to grab pydecnet releases from Paul, and (b) I will send you a PYRTR
config example directly.
The webpage you see is not custom - it is a mirror of PYRTR’s actual html interface (I
avoid exposing PYRTR’s built-in web server to the internet directly, hence the cron-driven
15-minute mirror). Personally, I use the Routing Layer -> Internals report to keep a
watch on PYRTR from anywhere:
http://impvax.duckdns.org/pyrtr/routing/internals%3Fsystem=PYRTR.html
Best regards,
Supratim

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.

Re configuration: there are sample configs in the "samples" subdirectory on the
repository, and documentation in the "doc" subdirectory. In particular,
"config.txt" shows the configuration file information. You can also access the
documentation via the webpage.

That's yours, right? What you have is the standard version and it looks fine. The
one at akdesign.dyndns.org:8080 <http://akdesign.dyndns.org:8080/> is another
example of the standard version, except with the addition of a HECnet map generator.
The webpages use CSS so it should be easy to change the look of it if you want to play
with that.

That's Supratim's pyDECnet node PYRTR. Mine is not exposed to the internet as of
yet.
