Yea.  Those two lines will get you going.  Just change "modulename"
to "xastir".  Those instructions are generic for all SourceForge
projects.

Only if you've already checked it out via CVS.  For instance, I
might go to ~/src and then type in the two lines above.  I believe
that will get you an "xastir" directory at ~/src/xastir in that
case.

I then "cd xastir", and I can then type further cvs commands, like
"cvs update", and I don't need to specify anything further to get
the latest Xastir code.

After that, it's the usual:

    ./bootstrap.sh
    ./configure
    make
    su
    make install
    chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/xastir
    exit (from root)

The only X11 APRS applications I know of are X-APRS (still in beta
as far as I know, from the WinAPRS/MacAPRS guys), and Xastir.  There
are Java APRS clients out there too.

You'll need to configure/install Xastir, then kill/restart in order
to have the latest version running.

Enough about Xastir on this list I suppose, since it's not really an
SuSE ham application anymore...

Subscribe to the Xastir mailing list at www.xastir.org (links are on
the left) for further questions/discussion about Xastir.

Thanks for the interest!
