I support a git repository for Scott KI4LKF's g2_ircddb software. I originally received the code from Ken N1DOT and have repackaged it into an easy-to-install git software repository that uses "make" to compile and install the services necessary to run a g2_ircddb gateway.
The g2_ircddb is a light-weight alternative to Jonathan G4KLX's ircDDBGateway software. g2_ircddb has no graphical user interface and runs as three LINUX services. It is ideally suited to run in a "headless" environment and is extremely stable. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Jonathan's ircddbgateway (like voice timeservers) and is more like a traditional DStar gateway (e.g., you have to unlink before you can link to a different reflector or gateway).
This repository has been tuned to install g2_ircddb on a Raspbian (Debian Wheezy) distribution for a Raspberry Pi or a Debian for a BeagleBone Black. For the BBB, I recommend the Debian image on armhf.com, but it will also work on the new Debian image from BeagleBone.org.?
An RPi or BBB DStar hotspot is easy to set up using this git repository and supports both the DVAP dongle or the DVRPTR_V1 GMSK modem.?The repository includes "HX" and "RX" URCALL scripts to either halt or reboot your computer from your radio. You can also build scripts to do many other tasks.
I have included a script to download the latest gateway list from Ramesh VA3UV, filter out all gateways except REF***, XRF*** and DCS*** reflector and at the same time, move XRF reflectors from port 30001 to 20001. This allows connecting to X-reflectors without using port-forwarding rules on you local network. (Of course you can use the VA3UV data as is, if you want. You can also add back in a few select gateways back into the filtered list.)
The repository is at?, The README.md file will get you started and the BUILDING and CONFIGURING files discuss all the details of compiling, configuring and installing g2_ircddb.
