%description 
gpsd is a service daemon that mediates access to a GPS sensor
connected to the host computer by serial or USB interface, making its
data on the location/course/velocity of the sensor available to be
queried on TCP port 2947 of the host computer.  With gpsd, multiple
GPS client applications (such as navigational and wardriving software)
can share access to a GPS without contention or loss of data.  Also,
gpsd responds to queries with a format that is substantially easier to
parse than NMEA 0183.  The daemon will be quiescent when there are no
clients asking for location information, and copes gracefully when the
GPS is unplugged and replugged.

After installing this RPM, gpsd will automatically connect to USB
GPSes when they are plugged in and requires no configuration.  For
serial GPSes, you will need to make a symlink from the serial device
you wish to use to /dev/gps, or start gpsd by hand.  Once connected,
the daemon automatically discovers the correct baudrate, stop bits,
and protocol.

%changelog
* Wed Mar 30 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.20-1
- Rob Janssen's patches to fix timezone issues and improve cooperation
  with NTP.  License changed to BSD so linking to libgps won't make people 
  nervous.  gpsprobe and gpsd.py are obsolete and have been removed, the 
  autoprobe and profiling capabilities in the daemon more than replace 
  them.  gpsprof now ships self-contained GNUPLOT scripts to stdout,
  so they can be saved and redisplayed.

* Sat Mar 26 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.19-1
- Fix brown-paper-bag bug with NMEA parsing. Set SiRF GPSes to use
  SBAS.  sirfmon now displays SBAS parameters, and is included in the
  installed programs.  Add to FAQ a fix for spurious high speeds reported
  in XTrac mode.  We now interpret GPZDA.  We no longer fudge a missing 
  ddmmyy in NMEA timestamps from the system clock, so replay will work better.

* Wed Mar 23 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.18-1
- First cut at cooperating with NTP.  Major library restructuring; 
  a fix is now a data structure of its own, and per-field timestamps 
  are gone. Use new 'o' command for watcher mode.  Compute some estimated 
  error bounds.

* Wed Mar 16 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.17
- Fix packet-engine problem that made disconnect/reconnect unreliable
  (important!).  Fix bonehead error in interpretation of PGRME.  We 
  don't use O_SYNC (it turned out not to be reliable) so remove it to make 
  life easier under Mac OS X.  Allow gpsfake to accept subsecond cycle times.
  Add a FAQ to the HTML documentation.  gps_poll() now handles multi-line
  responses.  Add N command for switching driver modes.

* Fri Mar 11 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.16-1
- New F command allows changing the GPS device after startup time.
  Hotplug scripts to go with it are now installed by the RPM.  The
  Garmin probe is working.  The -T and -s options are gone.  We have 
  achieved zero configuration!

* Wed Mar 02 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.15-1
- A new packet engine autobauds much more quickly, and now iterates
  over both 1 and 2 stopbits. Explicit support for FV18 (the -T f
  option) is gone; instead, gpsd syncs with any 7N2 device and always
  ships a suitable init string.  New E command, supporting the Garmin
  position-error sentence or computing these numbers from DOP and an
  error model. New U command reports climb/sink from GPSes that report
  vertical velocity.  There is a prototype driver for SiRF-binary GPses,
  invoked automatically when SiRF packets present themselves on the
  wire after device open.

* Fri Feb 25 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.14-1
- Pass zero magnetic variation in generated NMEA from binary GPSes
  correctly.  Use O_SYNC rather than timeouts to guarantee that 
  baud-rate change strings get to the GPS before changing the line
  parameters.  Introduced I command.  Spatial scattergram plotting
  moved from gpsprobe to gpsprof.

* Mon Feb 21 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.13-1
- Correct a bug in binary-protocol dumping (applies to Zodiac and
  Garmin only).  Gary Miller's patch to deal gracefully with GPSes
  like the Magellan EC10X that send only GPRMC and never GPGGA or
  GPGSA, and thus never set mode or status fields.  Fixed buggy
  handling of units options in xgps and xgpsspeed.  Bumped library
  major version, since seen_sentences is now exposed and drivers have
  more capabilities.  Stricter NMEA buffer validation.  Withdrew the
  change that always passed up a timestamp; on SiRF-IIs, the year part
  is garbage when the PVT fields are garbage.  Can now recognize
  SiRF-II GPSes.  Experimental baud-switching support for Zodiac.

* Tue Feb 15 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.12-1
- Fixed core-dump bug in processing of the GLL variant that does not
  include an FAA Mode Indicator. When using the NMEA driver, gpsd now
  hunts for a baud rate rather than requiring a fixed one to be set.
  A new 'B' command returns the RS232 parameters, and a new 'C'
  command returns the update cycle time.  Added gpsfake test harness.
  Alpha driver for Garmin binary protocol added, requires Linux
  garmin_usb kernel driver.  The daemon now always passes up a
  timestamp for every sentence that has one, even if the PVT fields
  aren't valid.

* Thu Feb 10 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.11-1
- Added gpsprof and the capability to generate GPS latency profiles.
  gpsprobe now hunts through plausible baud rates when looking for NMEA
  data from a GPS. The -b (baudrate) option fixes a speed, disabling
  the baud-matching logic.  Also, gpsprobe can now recognize SiRF 
  protocol, though not speak it.  Fixed a math domain error in 
  gps.EarthDistance due to numeric blowup on points very close together,
  and another in gps.MeterOffset() that was screwing up gpsprobe plots.

* Tue Feb  1 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.10
- Add -N option to explicitly foreground the daemon.  Fixed a bug
  that was causing gpsd to keep reopening the GPS device after
  leaving raw or watcher mode.  Fixed Gary Miller's core-dump bug.

* Thu Jan 27 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.9-1
- Python files restored to RPM.

* Thu Jan 27 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.8-1
- Embarrassing typo fix in gps.py. Avoid buffer overrun in xgps.c.
  Plug Debian security bug 292347, CVE number CAN-2004-1388.  
  This version issued on an emergency basis without Python libraries, 
  which have packaging problems due to the 2.3/2.4 transition.

* Fri Jan  14 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.7-1
- More compiler-warning cleanups.  gps client name changed to xgps.
  Added --speedunits option to xgpsspeed, --speedunits and --altunits
  options to xgps.  Improved GPGSV parsing so it copes gracefully if
  we start in the middle of a sequence.  Merged Petter Reinholdtsen's
  fix for GPGSA lists with holes.  In xgps, satellites used in the
  last fix are now dotted in the middle.  New -P option to create
  pidfile.  Audited for potential buffer overruns, found and fixed
  two.

* Sat Jan 01 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.6-1
- Petter Reinholdtsen's fix for gps.py buffering.  Fix syntax errors
  in udev scriptlets.  Clean up after GCC warning messages.  Drop use of 
  vsprintf, so we get a link-time error on systems that might produce 
  buffer overruns (all modern Unixes support vsnsprintf which is safe).

* Thu Dec 23 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.5.1
- Use gmtime instead of localtime when guessing the day or year of a date;
  this avoids jitter in the day after 19:00 GMT.  Added -v option to dump 
  version and exit.  Commented out a crash-causing debug line in gps.py.

* Thu Dec  9 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.4-1
- Minor bugs in gpsd.py fixed.  M now returns 0 status if GPGSA not yet
  seen; this change also fixes a bug where gpsd claimed it was confused
  if GPGSA had not been seen and status was set.  RPM will now install 
  a udevd rule if the host system uses it.  Don't set the online flag
  on activate.  HP port changes and -Wall cleanup.  James Cameron's 
  fixes to clean up gps.c and use X timeouts rather than alarms.

* Mon Oct 25 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.3-1
- Documentation and comment fixes.  Last two globals removed from 
  low-level interface; library should now be fully re-entrant. Mac OS X
  port fixes. Q command fix from Robin L Darroch <robin@spade-men.com>.

* Mon Oct 18 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.2-1
- Documentation improvements.  BSD port fixes.  Bug fix: speed timestamp
  wasn't initialized properly in libgps. Device is now an optional 
  command-line argument of gpsprobe, in line with the clients.  gpsd.py
  now should handle fvwm devices correctly.  Values in gps data
  panel are now labeled with units.  Attempted fix for 2.1 bug of DTR
  not being pulled low on exit.

* Thu Sep 30 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.1-1
- Various internal cleanups, including fossil removal in the
  configuration machinery.  FV-18, Tripmate, Earthmate and are now
  enabled but can be disable with --disable-$NAME at configure time.
  When you call configure with --disable-shared, libgps is linked
  statically to the binaries (native libs are still linked
  shared). Fixed buggy handling of -p option in gps.c and xgpsspeed.c;
  it's now an optional command-line argument.

* Thu Sep 16 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.0-1
- Packaging fixes for 2.0 release.

* Wed Sep  8 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 1.98-1
- Only do one getdtablesize() call, otherwise we do several
  getrlimits() each poll cycle.  TripMate is working.  gpsprobe now
  deduces NMEA version.  Zodiac Earthmate seems to work.

* Wed Sep 08 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 1.97-1
- Removed PRWIZCH support (it still passes through in raw mode).
  Build Motif-dependent programs conditionally.  Added gpsprobe.
  Fixed a brown-paper-bag-bug in 1.96 RPM packaging.

* Tue Aug 31 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 1.96-1
- Implemented non-blocking writes to clients, so a stalled client
  cannot stall gpsd.  Fixed a nasty array-overrun bug.  Timestamps
  are now in ISO8601 format, with sub-second precision if the GPS
  delivers that.  First cuts at Python interfaces included.  libgps.a
  interface now bundles session fd into an allocated session block.
  Automake-based build machinery from Jens Oberender; RPM now
  installs shared libraries.  FV18 driver added. Offline timer in GPS.

* Wed Aug 25 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 1.95-1
- Fixed broken 'make dist', missing display.c and Tachometer.c 
  are in there now.

* Tue Aug 24 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 1.94-1
- Fix embarrassing bug -- watcher mode did not work for more than one
  client at a time.  Y command now carries information about which 
  satellites were used in the last fix.  New timeout mechanism, no
  longer dependent on FIONREAD.

* Mon Aug 23 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 1.93-1
- Fourth prerelease. Daemon-side timeouts are gone, they complicated
  the interface without adding anything.  Command responses now 
  contain ? to tag invalid data. -D2 feature of 1.92 backed out.

* Sun Aug 22 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 1.92-1
- Third prerelease.  Clients in watcher mode now get notified when
  the GPS goes online or offline.  Major name changes -- old libgps
  is new libgpsd and vice-versa (so the high-level interface is more
  prominent).  Specfile now includes code to install gpsd so it will
  be started at boot time.  -D2 now causes command error messages
  to be echoed to the client.

* Sat Aug 21 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 1.91-1
- Second pre-2.0 release.  Features a linkable C library that hides the 
  details of communicating with the daemon.  The daemon now recovers
  gracefully from having the GPS unplugged and plugged in at any time;
  one of the bits of status it can report is whether the GPS is online.
  The gps and xgpsspeed clients now query the daemon; their code 
  for direct access to the serial port has been deliberately removed.

* Sun Aug 15 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 1.90
- Creation of specfile.

* Sun Mar 21 2004 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - ?
- Without PRWIZCH sentence: sat. colors in gps according to ss, grey==lt20, 
  yellow==lt40 else green. 
- Added L Q and I to the protocol. Removed G and T.
  Changed the timeout mechanism. Try to not return Lat/Lon/Alt if
  validity is in doubt.

* Thu Jan 29 2004 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - ?
- Make applications null-terminate their resource lists.

* Sat Dec 20 2003 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - ?
- Removed <varargs.h> from netlib. Not needed, and new gcc does not support
  it any more.

* Wed Aug 20 2003 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 1.10
- Add install target. Fix clean target. Make GPS timeout configurable.
- Make xgpsspeed build with Apple's X11.
- Make sure that we don't segfault if the NMEA is badly formed.

* Mon Aug 18 2003 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - ?
- Use cfset[io]speed() to set speed in serial.h. Glibc is quite insane
  and I am tired to chase it, so I give up. Hope this works for BSD.
  Set status and mode 0 after GPS timeout (5 sec) - Cougar <cougar@random.ee>

* Sun Feb 16 2003 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 1.09
- Include sys/time.h in gpsd.c for struct timeval.

* Sun Nov 03 2002 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - ?
- G or g command returns six-digit Maidenhead grid square (like FN12fx)

* Thu Oct 03 2002 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 1.08
- Added sockopt SO_REUSEADDR to netlib.c passive_sock.

* Tue Feb 05 2002 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 1.07
- em.c uses <time.h> (as it should). Removed some <sys/time.h>
- where they were not needed.
- Russ Nelson: Improved Earthmate support: added state machine for
  EARTHA recognizer, removed alignment problems seen on ARM architecture.  
  Added setsockopt to add SO_REUSEADDR, so that
  gpsd can stop and immediately restart.  Added support for bitrates
  higher than 38400, needed for the SIRF chipset.
- Derrick: my patch causes longitude when under 100 degrees to be printed 
  zero-padded as needed, the latitude same deal under 10, fixes the GGA
  sentence to not erroneously print fix type (2/3) instead of fix quality,
  and calculates fix type correctly.

* Fri Aug 11 2000 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 1.06
- Change from C++ (/) to C comments (/* */)for compatibility.
- Added -n (need init) flag.
- Don't init unless lat/lon specified.
- Remove gps.mayko.com as the default hostname.

* Fri May 12 2000 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 1.05
- (even though version.h says 1.04)
- Added some includes to xgpsspeed.c for portability.
- Fix problem with flags being overwritten, and using the wrong port
- variable also in xgpsspeed.c
- Add a note about Y2K compatibility fix.
- Pass latitude and longitude into em_init().

* Fri Mar 17 2000 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 1.02
- (even though version.h says 1.01)

* Sun Mar 05 2000 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 1.01
- Updated to IANA port.
- Fixes to DGPS support.

* Sun Jan 02 2000 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 1.0
- Added DGPS fixes from Curt Mills. (See README for contact info.)

* Mon Dec 13 1999 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 0.99dgps
- Added minimal DGPS support by Derrick J Brashear

* Sat Jul 17 1999 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 0.99
- Rockwell binary is now translated to NMEA format, so that
  clients like gps will work with an EarthMate.
- Added speedometer application. Thanks to Derrick J Brashear
  for his work (see README for contact info).

* Thu Mar 04 1999 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 0.96
- Changed EarthMate support. Rockwell binary is now almost properly
  supported. Only the minimum required information is extracted.

* Sat Feb 06 1999 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 0.95
- Added support for EarthMate receivers. Since I do not have one, this is 
  untested.
- If it works, it does the following: You start gpsd with a baudrate of 9600
  and give it the -Te option. If gpsd gets the EartMate it will enable the 
  receiver and then attempt to switch it into NMEA mode. If the EarthMate id 
  is not received, but a binary data header is received, then we will try to 
  switch NMEA too.

* Sun Jan 24 1999 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 0.94
- Y2K compliant ;-)  (... is NOT. Look for "FIXME:" in nmea_parse.c)

* Tue Jan 27 1998 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 0.93
- using GNU autoconf now.
- combined gpsd + gpsclient. No more init files, command line only.

* Tue May 13 1997 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 0.9
- some cleanups in the ini code. version 0.9 ...

* Fri Apr 25 1997 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 0.8
- version 0.8, some bug fixes. New MODE member, STATUS member changed.

* Mon Apr 21 1997 Remco Treffkorn <remco@rvt.com> - 0.7
- released version 0.7
