DMRIds.dat override file

Greetings,

The DMR network (non-Brandmeister, but with some limited interaction with BM) I am a part of maintains some DMR talkgroups that are not kept in the master list. Since they don't live in the DMRIds.dat file that gets pulled down every night, they show up in the dashboard as TG XXXXX instead of their display name.

A couple of the other users and I have worked out a small patch to the /usr/local/sbin/HostFilesUpdate.sh file to provide a /root/DMRIds.dat override the same way you have for several other files. I'm currently running Pi-Star 3.4.17 so this is against HostFilesUpdate.sh version 2.5, and I've inserted the following at line 123:

Code: Select all

# If a DMR ID override file exists add its contents to DMRIds.dat
if [ -f "/root/DMRIds.dat" ]; then
        cat /root/DMRIds.dat >> ${DMRIDFILE}
fi

I'm hoping you will consider adding this in.

Thanks in advance and 73s,
