Dear Maintainer, ubxtool relies on the subdir gps in the folder where ubxtool is located, with the following files
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I executed ubxtool an got the following error message "ubxtool:
failed to import gps, check PYTHONPATH"
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Execute "ubxtool --help"
* What was the outcome of this action?
See error described above
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Tool shows the help message
The package "gpsd" must depend on package "pathon3-gps".
Hi, Making gpsd depend on python3-gps, will void all reasons for python3-gps to exist as a separate package. I'd rather separate ubxtool in gpsd-ubxtool, which in turn will depend on python3-gps and gpsd will recommend gpsd-ubxtool. What do you think?
Would be nice!
I use it to switch gps satellites with ublox7 e.g.
glonass() {
ubxtool -w 0.1 -P 14.00 -c 06,16,00,03,03,00,00,00,00,00
ubxtool -w 0.1 -P 14.00 -c 06,3e,00,16,16,04,00,04,FF,00,00,00,00,01,01,01,03,00,00,00,00,01,05,00,03,00,00,00,00,01,06,08,ff,00,01,00,00,01
}
anyway adding the files to the package as it was original would solve it also... in the short term wether solution is chosen in the long term
it does get solved, right? :-)
Au contraire, adding the missing dependency from the gpsd package would JUSTIFY python3-gps as a separate package. That's WHY you have library packages, isn't it? Because they're needed by more than one other package. Useful, unless any other internal dependencies of ubxtool get overlooked along the way. And on that note, NB: ubxtool ALSO depends on python3-serial for accessing the GPS without gpsd (eg, -f /dev/ttyS4) which is kind of useful if you have to configure the GPS device before gpsd can use it.
