debian package request #6

Open olerem opened 5 years ago

olerem commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I noticed there is no debian package for socketcand. Is it correct? If there is no package, @ukleinek, may be you can help here?

Adding @gerasiov to the discussion.

hartkopp commented 5 years ago

After moving the repository to https://github.com/linux-can/socketcand and marking the source repos from @dschanoeh and @hartkopp to be obsolete three weeks ago we only have 7 stars and 3 forks.

@olerem Do you really think the socketcand is that cool and widely used, that it makes sense to make it a Debian package right now?

olerem commented 5 years ago

@hartkopp , i discovered it for me just this week. It helps me with j1939 tests on remote system. No idea if any one else is using it.

yegorich commented 5 years ago

@olerem have you also tried https://github.com/mguentner/cannelloni?

olerem commented 5 years ago

@yegorich, no. looks like there is no debian package as well. So, which one is better and why?

yegorich commented 5 years ago

@olerem I haven't compared the two but I can remeber having problems with sending a stream of CAN frames over socketcand. So it is still not suitable for a high bandwidth communcation. But sniffing with Kayak was not a problem.

Up to 76 stars and 27 forks. Does that make a difference?

I think releasing this as a debian package could increase the userbase quickly. I know it lowers my threshold to test new projects.

Looking at @ukleinek :smile:

marckleinebudde commented 2 years ago

Hey @gerasiov,

do you have interest in adding this tool to debian? Otherwise @ukleinek can take over.

Please with the "--with-config=yes" option.

Would you recommend this tool for production systems?

ngehrsitz commented 1 year ago

Is this something that is already included somewhere? The can-utils package already includes socketcand in the description but does not actually ship it?

As is - probably would not generally promote for production. It's a useful (and in some cases necessary) development tool. Production systems will require handling the CAN interfaces going up and down, etc.. Perhaps socketcand, in addition to some other higher level monitoring application could be production-worthy. It all comes down to your requirements :). Also, it has not been designed for security or a potential adversarial/uncontrolled environment.

Thought I would reply to this in case anyone else has the same question.
