-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2019-9a6906a128 2019-03-06 06:57:11.061143 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : gpsd Product : Fedora 29 Version : 3.17 Release : 6.fc29 URL : http://catb.org/gpsd/ Summary : Service daemon for mediating access to a GPS Description : gpsd is a service daemon that mediates access to a GPS sensor connected to the host computer by serial or USB interface, making its data on the location/course/velocity of the sensor available to be queried on TCP port 2947 of the host computer. With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications (such as navigational and war-driving software) can share access to a GPS without contention or loss of data. Also, gpsd responds to queries with a format that is substantially easier to parse than NMEA 0183.
