Hi, Nodelist!

06 фев 22 17:19, Nodelist Police Commissioner -> Stas Mishchenkov:

 SM>> Well, why immediately "like spayware"? The code is open and there are
 SM>> several ways to disable this action? On the other hand, if the user
 SM>> does
 SM>> not have the latest version, it seems reasonable to me to warn him
 SM>> about
 SM>> this at the first start. Am I right?

 NPC> It seems reasonable. And now the user has the option to put 'update
 NPC> no'
 NPC> or use the -u=n option, so it's ok...

Well, thanks the God, we agreed. ;)

 NPC>>> I don't consider it necessary. But you could leave it up to the
 NPC>>> user of the script, to send this information or not?

 SM>> I'll think about this option. Although, I don't want some
 SM>> particularly
 SM>> irritable sysops to accuse me of making anonymous calls. ;)

 NPC> You are not responsible for what the users of the script do with it!
 NPC> They could even change the script if they wanted to, to not send
 NPC> these...

Some sysops believe that it is not the one who is naughty who is to blame, but the one who gave him such an opportunity. ;)

 NPC>>> Requests:

 NPC>>> I would like to specify something like below in the config file:

 NPC>>> nodelist /home/fido/nodelist/NODELIST.*
 NPC>>> So I don't have to change the config file every time there is a
 NPC>>> nodelist update.

 SM>> Yes. This is a useful and convenient feature. I will definitely
 SM>> implement
 SM>> this.

 NPC> Great!

I hope I got it right.

Have nice nights.
       Stas Mishchenkov.
