• bad QWK packets

    From Alterego@VERT/ALTERANT to Digital Man on Friday, December 20, 2019 09:13:18
    Hey DM,

    Can you help me understand these bad packets.

    I recall in a previous conversation that SBBS would only keep "10" - I'm now up to 18 from VERT, and 1 from another QWK host. Is this a setting somewhere (that maybe I've clobbered)?

    No, the keep-10 *.bad files is hard-coded in sbbs (since Aug-14-2019). Now, that's 10 of each *.q??.bad, so if you have *.qwk.bad files, it'll keep last 10 of those. If you have *.qw0.bad files, it'll keep the last 10 of those too.

    I'm confused, your regex examples above dont match the names I have. So, this list should be shorter - ie: only 10 VERT.qwk.*.bad?

    [deon@d-1-1 data]$ ls -1 *bad
    DIGDIST.qwk.5d675aac.bad
    VERT.qwk.5d675a70.bad
    VERT.qwk.5d681a1f.bad

    It was a file mask, not exactly a regexp, but yeah, *.qwk.*.bad is correct.

    So,
    this list should be shorter - ie: only 10 VERT.qwk.*.bad?

    Yes, if you're running the current code from CVS and you received at least one VERT.qwk.*.bad file since you upgraded to the latest.

    I rebuild SBBS (in full) 8 days ago, and I got a bad packet 5 days ago.

    [deon@d-1-2 data]$ ls -tald *bad|head -1
    -rw------- 1 root root 8461 Dec 15 09:12 VERT.qwk.5dfbf58b.bad

    So by that definition - 8 packets should have been deleted, but they werent. How do I find out why?

    Looks like it was just a bug. I just committed a fix. Try it.
