  • Hatching Issue

    From Ross Cassell@1:123/456 to All on Sun Jul 5 17:00:20 2009
    Hello All!

    I think I found the issue with the backbone file hatches..

    Last weekend I had obtained and recompiled the Husky software I use to run the mailhub under, in doing so, I was able to hardcode into the binaries where I wanted to place the configuration files, ex: /fidonet/config

    When I had setup the mailhub under Ubuntu Linux, I had simply taken some precompiled binaries from some DEB packages and installed them, but they came hard coded to look for the config files underneath the /VAR directory, I did not want to have to sudo everytime I wanted to edit a config file, so I merely used a environmental variable to override the default location.

    The scripts I use to hatch out the backbone files still had this environmental variable in them, which was pointing to /fidonet/husky/config and not /fidonet/config.

    It is for this reason why my hatch out last night had failed..

    I have hatched out a file called testhatch.na, which appears to be successful, but I would like for someone to report that it is not a zerobyte file and even to quote back to me what it has inside, it is just a text file.

    Upon such a confirmation, I shall rehatch the backbone files.

    Hi Ross,

    but I would like for someone to report that it is not a zerobyte file and even
    to quote back to me what it has inside, it is just a text file.

    The backbone files have been rehatched, and I have seen file receipt announcements from downstream systems, the issue has been resolved.

    Your test may have been successful, Ross, but with all due respect, many systems cannot deal with filenames that are not 8.3 format.

    With all the pedants in Fidonet, I'm not too sure that wouldn't be the case.
