List of things to check/fix for liblocation

MerlijnWajer commented 3 years ago

Make location-status and location-control work together (fix it crashing in some cases)
~~Run valgrind on location-daemon for a while, ensure there are no memory leaks~~
Make sure gpsd only runs when it should, and see if we can figure out when gpsd would run and openrc would not know about it
Look into unused libraries in location-status
Make sure all packages use -Wall -Wextra -Werror
On the Droid 4, using GPS for a while eventually results in no new gps data coming in. Not clear if it is kernel or gpsd, but cgps gives: "cgps: GPS timeout", so it's not in location-daemon at least. (Confirmed to be a modem reset at least in one case, which requires kernel work)
Update https://leste.maemo.org/Status/GPS and create a Location wiki page as well
Show "Coarse" (and the other one) accuracy string in location applet
location-daemon doesn't quit when gpsd hangs it seems

Have a look at problematic unicode in https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/gpsrecorder/blob/master/src/WndSat.cpp#L135 (https://parazyd.org/pub/tmp/screenshots/screenshot00245.png)
Dig a bit into maep to investigate lag

Perhaps look at controlling the rate_ms parameter (at least on the droid 4) to set just how often gps needs to report -- could help with soc pm. Walking/bicycling might be fine with a rate of 5 seconds or more.

implement https://github.com/tmlind/droid4-agps somehow

MerlijnWajer commented 3 years ago

I've left liblocation running for a while, and also with and without fix, and it looks like there is no memory being leaked during normal operation. So crossing that one off. Nice.
