New stock versions of MMDVMHost with DMRGateway has bugs

With the upgrade to Pi-Star 4.1.5 Andy included new versions of
MMDVMHost and DMRGateway. I was getting sporadic premature
apparent EOT frames with TGIF, and RF queue overflows on TGIF
and DMR Plus. I reverted to Pi-Star 4.1.4 from February and
everything was back to normal. I had this happen with multiple
hotspots, DVMega and HS-Hat boards and I had reflashed the
firmware to rule that out. I then compiled the latest source of
MMDVMHost and DMRGateway and got the same errors. I then
compiled versions from December and though better, I eventually
got an RF queue overflow with DMR Plus after 24 hours. So I
looked at what versions Andy was using with the February Pi-Star
4.1.4.
pi-star@pi-star(rw):cron.daily$ MMDVMHost --version
MMDVMHost version 20200615_Pi-Star_v4 git #3313fe8
pi-star@pi-star(rw):cron.daily$ DMRGateway --version
DMRGateway version 20200615_Pi-Star_v4 git #8e75b24
If you use those versions from Jonathan's Github the dates are a
little different.
pi-star@pi-star(rw):MMDVMHost$ MMDVMHost --version
MMDVMHost version 20200608 git #3313fe8
pi-star@pi-star(rw):MMDVMHost$ DMRGateway --version
DMRGateway version 20200421 git #8e75b24
Pi-Star 4.1.5 with new MMDVMHost and DMRGateway code should have
been a beta. I don't consider them usable together at present.
Andy is on Jonathan's Github active in the issues section of
MMDVMHost, so he's trying to work with the contributors there.
But other than a similar issue with D-Star it didn't seem anyone
had reported on the DMR issues. So if you experience the above
issues and like the stock DMRGateway with all networks active,
you can manually compile the older versions above and copy them
to /usr/local/bin. To stop the nightly update from changing the
version I commented out the following two git statements in
/usr/local/sbin/pistar-daily.cron.
# Update the Binaries
# git --work-tree=/usr/local/bin --git-dir=/usr/local/bin/.git
pull origin master
# Update the Binaries (sbin)
# git --work-tree=/usr/local/sbin --git-dir=/usr/local/sbin/.git
pull origin master
Or just fallback to Pi-Star 4.1.4. From a perusing the comments
on the MMDVMHost issues section, it might be a while before the
new version gets fixed.
