Hello Mindsurfer,

 Mi> seems the husky project moved over to github this year. at least if i
 Mi> understand that right. the main project page is still on sourceforge.
 Mi> but i dont know if there is an active bugfixing or even development
 Mi> going on currently.

I'm not sure there is development going on but they do maintain husky. The version I run is from early 2020, only a small fix for txt2pkt from earlier versions but they do have eyes on it and could go into development mode if they wanted or needed to.

I'm not sure if these Jam problems have been looked at or not but if we brought it up we could find out if they can or will be solved.

 Mi> i git clone'd all tools around hpt from github and compiled it on my
 Mi> raspberry pi.

Yes, I have done this too but I usually wait for a new release being available at download.huskyproject.org.

 Mi> As Al mentioned, i want to have one netmail area only with husky and
 Mi> clone to other ones that i have in MagickaBBS from there. htick,
 Mi> another husky tool, is taking care about tossing files and areafix.
 Mi> nltools seems to read in nodelists.

I don't mind a netmail area per net but I prefer a single netmail area but it would require the untangling of AKA matching. Apam may get to that, I'm not sure.

It would solve a problem I had with filefix but I think there are other solutions for that also that could be explored.

 Mi> As said, there are some more husky tools beside hpt that should take
 Mi> care of that. i could still use the file tosser that comes with
 Mi> MagickaBBS, but i think its better to switch that to husky too.

I had a MagickaBBS running in a linode. It was a great setup but it's gone away for the time being for lack of funds.

I was talking to Apam about all that and I think with input from sysops running those tools, in time it could all be made to work. The development of these things does take time though.

 Mi> Magimail did do both, Echo and Netmail on Scan. With hpt that are two
 Mi> different commands. one is 'scan', one is 'pack'. i will just call
 Mi> both successive when mail.out is touched.

hpt will toss both echomail and netmail when you toss if netmail areas are listed in your export.log or echotoss.log (not sure which now) if you configure it so but I always scan and pack.

 Mi> And if i did not say it yet, thanks for all the work you have put into
 Mi> MagickaBBS, Magimail and everything connected to BBSs!

I concure, absolutely, thank you Apam. :)

 Ttyl :-),
