Hi Benny,

I just wanted to give you a heads up, I was going to take a look at the fidonet overlay, and ran into my first issue.

While running 'emerge -av binkd' I received this:

('Filesize does not match recorded size', 506625L, 506236)
!!! Fetched file: binkd-1.0.tar.gz VERIFY FAILED!
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size
!!! Got: 506625
!!! Expected: 506236
Refetching... File renamed to '/usr/portage/distfiles/binkd-1.0.tar.gz._checksum_failure_.FryPaq'

!!! Couldn't download 'binkd-1.0.tar.gz'. Aborting.

I already have binkd compiled manually, but I figured I'd check out your version, as maybe it came with an init script or anything like that.

Thanks,
Nick

this means that the tarball is not the same tarball i created the ebuild to, its being updated since :)

will make the init script in r3

in r2 it will just be in overlay, not installed

i will after this issue a new ebuild that works again, thanks for reporting

I knew what it meant. I just figured I'd let you know. :)

Of course. Anything I can do to help. And thank you for providing the overlay!

suggestions on /etc/conf.d/binkd and /etc/init.d/binkd why not just use /etc/xinet.d/binkp ?

this will simplify it more, and makes ipv6 posible without any c code change in
binkd :=)

more complete ./configure control from ebuild ?

i think about USE flags to enable disable things in configure, but also to not make it bloated with to much possilibies in not working config

Frankly, I've never looked into it. I don't run xinetd over here. Though I did make a successful /etc/init.d/binkd using start-stop-daemon. It works, and I'm not thoroughly informed on ivp6 yet, so I really have no reason to have that enabled. Honestly, I don't really know what it does or how it works yet. But someday. :)_

You could. But then again, I don't even use a "USE" variable in /etc/make.conf right now. I used to have one that was 1000 characters long with a desktop environment. I'm not really into that anymore. The BBS machine is a nice new Gentoo install with syslog-ng, logrotate, vixie-cron, and a dhcp client. That's about it besides my prerequisites for my BBS software, the software itself, and binkd. I'm trying to keep it minimal this time around. I have an i5 with multiple VMs for toying around with whatever I want.

Either way, the original binkd tarball compiles fine with no requirements, USE flags, or anything else for that matter. And I'm totally fine with that. :)

try testing updated binkd now, hope its more perfect now then before, bugs tell
me :=)

i made this now

he its helping not to have selected a desktop profile on a server :)

and not use a server profile for desktopping

I'm not really into that anymore.

good :)

okay that was also bit of my plan with fidonet overlay, to keep it simple to have a gentoo install with fidonet

the software itself, and binkd. I'm trying to keep it minimal this time around. I have an i5 with multiple VMs for toying around with whatever I want.

please do and report any fault i have made in latest binkd

Either way, the original binkd tarball compiles fine with no requirements,

if it did not its a upstream bug

USE flags, or anything else for that matter. And I'm totally fine with that. :)
