• Agoranet Infopack

    From ACCESS DENIED@46:1/701 to ALL on Thu Jan 31 19:20:34 2019
    Hello All,

    Just an FYI, I've rehatched the Agoranet infopack due to a sysop request. This hatch includes the "replace" option, so it should replace your old one, and not

    cause any issues. It was said that a .tic file didn't come with the last one. I've made sure that this time it did. Sorry about that folks. Sometimes these automated process don't do what you tell them to! :(

    Also, I'm trying something new in the hatching of the Agoranet nodelist and nodediff this upcoming Friday as well. I've added a "replace agoranet.*" for the nodelist, and a "replace agn_diff.*" for the nodediff. If it works as expected, it would be nice to see only one (the current) nodelist and nodediff in those directories. Otherwise there is a clusterfuck of filenames in there and anyone browsing your file areas for those, will be confused as hell as to what the latest one is.

    We'll see if it works. Any issues, let me know!

    Regards,
    Nick

    please reconsider this and specify only the matching name of the file you are sending out... to kill all the others means that historical archives are lost immediately instead of over time...

    I'll do that for now, I suppose. But now that Agoranet is just about 2 years old (I think? Maybe 3? ugh.. lol), that directory is just as full as my Fidonet

    nodelist directory. It's kind of annoying. I suppose I could script something to add the date of the nodelist file into the description to make it easier for

    people to find the latest one.

    # Update: Changed them both to replace the exact filename (which it would have anyways, but adding the 'replace' option will probably help other systems as well.
