Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : kplex Version : 1.3.4 Upstream Author : Keith Young <stripyd...@gmail.com> * URL : http://www.stripydog.com/kplex/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : NMEA-0183 (GPS data) multiplexer
kplex reads GPS information from a UDP or TCP port or a serial device and then (depending on the configuration) can write the information into files, broadcast again to UDP addresses, serve again on a TCP port, etc. It also allows to filter strings or add the timestamp. Why is this package useful/relevant? I used kplex in the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition 2016-2017 (ACE 2016) during 4 months for saving the GPS from the bridge into text files and serve again to other software. It's mature, worked perfectly well, it's feature complete. If Debian had kplex it would have been a bit easier for us to install, manage, etc. I didn't find any other package with the same functionality (not in Debian or outside Debian).
