Have you considered trying the current development version (3.16),
as an experiment, to see if it resolves the issue?

I have been wanting to try 3.16. I like to update from CVS and I have
not seen any instructions on how to upgrade to 3.16 using that method. I've been told there are instructions on the Sync Wiki, but I went all over the Wiki and ended up going in circles looking for it. I gave up looking for the instructions after spending hours doing so. What's
more, I had a stroke and and no longer type very well so I don't want
to waste anyone's time in the IRC channels. That damned stroke has
also made it difficult for me to communicate my thoughts and ideas.. somehow they get lost between my brain and the keyboard and I often
come across like I'm an ass when that was not my intention at all..

I can not find any upgrade instructions elsewhere either other than
some stuff in the DoveNet echo's but most of it directed towards the
Win version.

http://wiki.synchro.net/install:nix

Scroll down the page quite a bit (almost to the bottom) and the last section is "Upgrading". As long as you don't have any custom stuff done in your exec directory, you should be fine. Follow those 10 steps line for line and you should be good to go.

If you do have any custom stuff in your exec directory, you should move them to your mods directory so that they will still be loaded (even before something that would reside in the exec dir) and won't be overwritten when you grab a CVS update.

Good luck, and if you have any questions you can ask here or email/netmail me if you wish.

Regards,
Nick

I have been updating from CVS for several years now. So are you saything
that when the update to 3.16 is released that it will update from CVS?

upgrading on linux is easy. backup, compile from cvs, drop in your scripts and data files.

I would certainly think so. I'm guessing the "release" will only be for Win32 users. The Linux crowd have the Synchronet CVS, which is basically almost like a rolling distrobution in it's own way.

The hope is to fix that by having releases closer together. It's entirely possible to run a release on Linux, but there's currently not much point. With
a but of luck, we'll have everyone who isn't using experimental features back on a release build in the not too distance future.

This will also allow packaging with distros and such, as well as getting better
support from upstream sources and Linux distros.

Thanks but I had asked about upgrading to 3.16. I keep current..
here's the script I run at least weekly:

cd /sbbs
tar -czf exec.tgz exec
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.synchro.net:/cvsroot/sbbs
cvs update -d exec
cvs update src 3rdp
cd /sbbs/src/sbbs3
make RELEASE=1
cd /sbbs/src/sbbs3/scfg
make RELEASE=1
cd /sbbs/exec
make
/sbbs/exec/jsexec update.js

And your DOS doors still work? Usually you need to include the USE_DOSEMU=1 make option.. That's odd.

Yes they work fine. When I first installed I would have used that option.
But this script isn't my invention, it is based on the instructions as
listed at wiki.synchro.net/install:nix. I've been running it for nearly 2 years and it works well.
