I don't use it, and I thought ircddbgateway no longer supported G2 linking, so I don't think it's a bug.

ircDDBGateway supports the following to make sure you have them all working just make sure your host-files are up to date. This can be done multiple ways and will not be covered here specifically.

This should work on any G4KLX (linux) installations (with hostfiles located in the usr/local/etc directory). Updated December 18th, 2016 11:00 . It will work on any installations I did for others The Newer Pi-Star configurations have an automatic scenero for the host files. I've switched all of my devices to This uses wget to download the XLX host file. Not best solution, but at least more universal. This should solve #119 until better solution is found This also adds the ability for XLX to override the content of local hosts file or not. new in config file xlxOverrideLocal Default is to override local files. Even thought the DExtra and XLX Hosts files in the document folder has the correct IP addresses. which was to download and use the XLX dmr database list on every ircddbgateway cmds are sent in urcall.

I assume you are somehow familiar with command line and editing files through nano. DISCLAIMER : I have no idea of possible side-effects or if it’ll break pi-star update mechanism, you do all this at your own risks. Latest ircddbgateway supports direct XLX linking. Could the configured /tmp XLX XLX host file load on startup be added to the admin dstar dropdown list select please ? This will allow dashboard select for all XLX reflectors.
The Newer Pi-Star configurations have an automatic scenero for the host files. Good luck! and have fun using the new XLX reflectors using either the DPlus

In addition some local over ride files are now placed in /root for both Update code for the hosts files has been improved to reduce the chance G2 Multi-Linking Gateway Software by VK4TUX. Current Discussions. Current Discussions. Many club policies and host repeater site agreements only allow a minimum set of pre-approved club members to have access to the repeater site and gateway PC. Providing account information to third parties, such as D-Star gateway PC login name and Xlx_host.txt is the host file used for driving DMR connections.

XLX reflectors. CCS7 routing. D-RATS data transfers. Now you should edit the configuration in the file /etc/ircddbgateway to match your needs. As a matter of fact it appears that most sysops do not update their hosts file. If they do there are dozens of different sources which do not match together. This situation leaves the repeater users unable to connect to wherever they want to (I am a true defender of the "repeaters-shall-be-able-to-connect-everywhere" principle). Thus this pull request. Agree completely with @ct1dvm. The way this has been implemented in ircddbgateway is the way that I would expect it to work. Link requests using XLX should be based upon the file as compiled through the autoregistration of the various XLX reflectors, not by filling in the blanks in the existing hosts files. 73 So what we actually need is to add the various XLX hosts to the correct D-Plus/DExtra/DCS host files (now done). What does all of this mean, well I didn't update ircDDBGateway yet, I will at some point, on Pi-Star v4.x, its not possible to update it for Pi-Star v3.x really due to the requirements for WX 3.0 and the space that requires on the Snapshot of what the DCS_Hosts.txt looks like. Snapshot of XLX - DCS Reflectors, it's a much longer list than this, but you get the idea. Now you need to copy and paste the XLX - DCS Reflectors list to the DCS_Hosts.txt file I suggest some rem statements , that's anything on a line that starts with a # is ignored. What is a XLX file? Every day thousands of users submit information to us about which programs they use to open specific types of files. While we do not yet have a description of the XLX file format and what it is normally used for, we do know which programs are known to open these files. See the list of programs recommended by our users below.
ircDDBGateway D-Star What is IRC? One of the networks is defined as being an XLX reflector, while the other three may be one each of DMR+, BrandMeister, or a local HBLink system. Try disabling DExtra reflectors which seem to have the most un-resolvable addresses in the default host files – it reduced startup time from 6 minutes to 2
