    I've always figured it's probably best to let Digital Man fix the C/C++ code for Synchronet, as Digital Man is the maintaner of Synchronet. Although the source code for Synchronet is available, any modifications you do on your own system would have to be merged into all the official Synchronet releases..

    and a few lines above and some lines below the end of those lines say "to be" for the deposit and convert options... "be" needs to be removed from them as well ;)
    those are lines 556 and 581...

    nah... you can maintain local patches quite easily... i have several here that are applied automatically when needed... mainly switching a yesno prompt for a noyes one but still ;)

    Some of that kind of thing can be done in JS by placing your version of a .js module in your 'mods' directory - Synchronet will use that one before the stock .js. But are you saying you have patches to the C/C++ code that are applied automatically for new releases? What if there's a big complicated code change, where your patch might not fit so easily?

    yep, this is true...

    they're applied any time i update from cvs...

    What if there's a big complicated code change, where your patch might not fit
    so easily?

    then i have to work out the conflict... just another part of maintaining the system and being a modder/coder ;)

    If there's a feature you've added to your own local copy and you use it regularly, I'd think it might be easier to ask DM if it's something he can add to the official version of Synchronet.

    I'm saying, if it bothered him that much, it could fix it in his own source. The change would just be merged at the next update. I didn't suggest he try
    to submit an update to CVS.

    yep... when that happens, i generally send him either a patch file or the complete updated file(s)... the same way i did for my fixes/updates to TickIT ;)

    Wow, you are becoming very important, some might say an *INTEGRAL*
    part of Synchronet! Not only can you spot bugs, but I'd say you
    can now add the title of "developer" to your repertoire. Bravo!

    When I ran GT Power, the original author lamented that "while it's the author's responsibility for the instructions, I write terrible
    documentation". :P

    My favorite part of the docs was a file called TRASHCAN.BBS -- where
    you put all the dirty words and wild cards, so if someone tries to logon
    with one of those, they get dumped.

    The introduction to that file in the docs was "This file will test
    your creativity" <GRIN!>. :P
