Did a recent pull (10-26) and sbbs will not build, was this taken out or am I missing something??
Compiling ansi_cio.c

Just need to do another git pull I think. Deuce has been working on SyncTERM stuff and committed some code that didn't compile for all targets/tools. That's all.

It's good to hang out on #synchronet or maybe #synchronet-devel and you will see git messages like...
Win32Console
I use to.. seems you choose not to remeber select stuff, whatever the case, I'm not even going there anymore..
These also are posted in dovenet, I saw it updated after the build, it's all good now I only have time to routinely check messages. anymore so dovenet works fine with me.
Yeah, I forgot they are posted there too.
One last way to quickly check is to have a look at the pipelines in gitlab
https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/pipelines
Yeah, I've definatly been looking over gitlab site, most of it is still fairly new to me, when I got back into synchronet last year I automatically from memory tried pulling the code in via CVS, then of course very quicly realized it had moved.
Lots of changes in 3.20, but still was fairly easy to install mainly from repetitive muscle memory.
I am not a big fan of how Synchronet works with git but I have created my own update scripts to mitigate some of the main issues that it was causing me without having to do this git stash crap every time I did changes and whatnot. It's not perfect but it suits my needs. Git itself does provide some useful tools for the developers and I like their bug reporting and it's easy to view the code history.
3.20 has come a long way to help sysops get up and running quickly from when I and a lot of other sysops started. There was no binkit integration, tickit lacked some features, there was no automatic setting up of fido and FTN networks with the init script or installation of doors and dosemu was hit and miss. That said, there is still quite a learning curve and it's not just plug and play, you have to understand all the terminology that goes with it, and can be daunting task for many new sysops.
That said, again, there have been a bunch of new boards popup since I started so there's people still out there interested in grinding at it. I don't want it to sound like people have it easier these days...which I guess they do in a way, no need to find separate mailers and tossers and get them working with the bbs, but the need for knowledge is still there because you need to know how they work together and interact with the bbs...sorry, I'm rambling...

I have too many of the JS files modified and don't want to accidently
screw anything up so just copy JS files that have changed/new etc.. manually I'm sure there are much easier ways to do it, but this is the
way I do it. works for me :) and theres really not much I have to put
into it.
For my use it really doesnt present any issues really less for me to have to do than what i did with CVS, once the initial pull is done, I do mine kinda a little different though because I keep my working bbs file tree and the source tree seperate, eg

I've always thought for the most part that putting a BBS up should'nt be too "Plug N' Play" or easy. There should be a degree of difficulty there that the sysop should go through. I might be alone in that thought, But I really would'nt want to see what a bbs scene would look like if ANYONE could install the software and have it runing very quickly and easily.. we still enjoy a certain degree of, well I wouldnt say privacy, but were able to set ourselves apart a bit from the intenet and social media as a whole.
