[pkg-fso-maint] zavai updates

[Enrico Zini]

Hello,

if anyone else is using zavai, I pushed a few wacky new features:

 * Talks to gpsd

The GPS icon now shows when gpsd has a fix. The clock showing time from
GPS when the GPS has a fix is also finally back.


 * Alarms now notify

Alarms are notified by vibrating, turning on backlight, showing a big
ACK button, flashing the AUX button. No sound yet.

Alarms can be acknowledged with AUX or the big ACK button.


 * Logging

New fancy logging infrastructure to log all sorts of event. Lots are
timestamped and georeferenced. Every log is a file in GPX format. If the
event being logged happens over a span of time and there is a GPS fix,
the GPX file will include the GPX trace of movements during the event.

Yes, wacky, but the hell, why not?

Logging is currently only used by... alarms. You can see where you were
when the alarm started ringing, where you were when it timed out or you
aked it, and where you went inbetween :)

This is a rather intriguing way to log all sorts of things (audio notes,
phone calls, missed calls, SMSes...)


 * Start/stop for wifi and bluetooth

Simple start/stop buttons in the misc menu, calling 
~/.zavai/wifi {start|stop} or ~/.zavai/bluetooth {start|stop}

Default hooks are provided that just call om {wifi|bt} power {1|0}

I don't particularly use them, but I hear people use o-p-p a lot for
that, so now should they want to try zavai, there's two more features
they won't miss.


Ciao,

Enrico
