Changes

With advice of and some help from Jim, I was able to successfully get app_rpt working within Asterisk 1.8 with some notable issues including: channel drivers were still in a bad state and were prone to crashing or didn't work at all.

The code then sat for a few months on my laptop's hard drive as other things became a priority.  Since I didn't want to see the work I'd done go to waste, I opened up a GitHub Repo and made an announcement to the app_rpt-users mailing list about the code's availability.  You can see this announcement here: http://lists.keekles.org/pipermail/app_rpt-users/2016-April/014958.html.

The code then sat for a few months on my laptop's hard drive as other things became a priority.  Since I didn't want to see the work I'd done go to waste, I opened up a GitHub Repo and made an announcement to the app_rpt-users mailing list about the port and availability of the source code.  You can see this announcement here: http://lists.keekles.org/pipermail/app_rpt-users/2016-April/014958.html.

Since then I've done some updates to the app_rpt code and associated modules, mainly porting the changes between the version of app_rpt that I based the port off of and what the current version is/was.  This code does work but it is very much alpha quality.  I also added some extra tidbits to the code to aid with debugging that will need to be removed at some point.  These are in the form of some additional C macros for printing debug information that were/are used to determine flow control as the code was being ported.

I am excited that this version of app_rpt is continuing to mature and become a viable client for use by the amateur radio community.
