  • PINETPCK has multiple nodelists

    evnt TICKIT Multiple files matching 'PINET.*' in archive '/sbbs/fido/inbsecure/P
    INETPCK.zip' (/sbbs/tmp/event/nodelist_handler/PINET.058, /sbbs/tmp/event/nodeli
    st_handler/PINET.065, /sbbs/tmp/event/nodelist_handler/PINET.072, /sbbs/tmp/even
    t/nodelist_handler/PINET.z72)

    and Synchronet isn't liking it. I suppose I could change it to using the zipped version since it seems there's only one of those. This may cause issues with others who are using a tic handler. Any chance to get the old nodelists removed from the zip please?

    Thanks

    I just double check all nodelists. There is currently just 1 nodelist in each. These can be downloaded now at www.rofbbs.com and they will also be hatch this Friday.

    This issue is still present. Just to be clear, the problem is that the *INFOPACK* ZIP file has multiple week's worth of nodelists in it. This breaks the Synchronet nodelist handler, and probably other software as well. I am seeing this on PiNet, RetroNet, and ArakNet.

    I think the solution is to have a script that REMOVES the previous week's nodelist from the zip archive prior to adding the new week's nodelist. Can you try to configure that? Thank you.

    The script is supposed to do just that, I will double check it as soon as I can before the next Friday's gets hatched.

    OK, thanks. The script is not currently doing that properly, for at
    least three networks.
