aprsc 2.1.15: Debian 12, listener fixes

[Heikki Hannikainen]

aprsc 2.1.15 is now available.

Upgrading on Debian / Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo systemctl disable aprsc
sudo systemctl enable aprsc
sudo reboot (to test that it works, if upgrading from pre-2.1.7)

Upgrading on CentOS:

sudo yum upgrade
sudo /etc/init.d/aprsc liveupgrade

Mac OS X & FreeBSD:

Changes in 2.1.15:

* Add builds for Debian 12 "bookworm" amd64 (assuming no i686 will be
needed on current hardware)

* Dropped Debian 9 "stretch" builds, as it is no longer supported by the
Debian project

* listeners: Treat binding errors as critical failures. If an IP address
configured for a listener or peergroup is not available when aprsc starts,
this is now a critical failure and aprsc refuses to start up. Systemd will
then restart the process after a while. This helps in some cases where IPs
are brought up a bit later in the boot-up process and aprsc no longer
comes up half-functional.

* listeners: Clamp per-listener maxclients with global MaxClients. Some
operators have increased the per-listener maxclients without growing the
global MaxClients from the default of 500 accordingly. Now the status
page will show the clamped limit. Log a warning, too.

* web: Updated jquery to version 3.7.1


Changes in 2.1.14:

* Do not transmit packets to TX igates running the CG Antenna GW-1000
igate device. They do not implement the proper TX igate algorithm and
cause congestion & messaging loops, which have affected messaging
worldwide. Full story:

Hello, good afternoon. To install an aprsc server, what are the steps? Since I want to install an additional server to mexico.aprs2.net so that it works at the same time in case of failure, the services to the RADIO AMATEURS can continue working worldwide. Thanks for the support.

Hello,

Installation instructions are at: http://he.fi/aprsc/INSTALLING.html
Debian & Ubuntu preferred.

We currently have enough servers, there is no need for additional
redundancy. I'd rather see less servers than more, because it's more work
to get all those servers updates.

But on the other hand, the current T2MEXICO server seems to be abandoned
and not upgraded for many years, so it could perhaps be replaced. If you
have a proper datacenter location to run the server in, and it's actually
in Mexico, please email ad...@aprs2.net with a proposal describing the
location. Thanks!

Hi,

@Heikki the installation instructions still include "apt-key add" command which is deprectated as of bookworm and will cause a warning on "apt update"

Can you update the instructions as per my previous message? https://groups.google.com/g/aprsc/c/NkXPKpixJ1k
