I've spent a further 3 hours today trying to get various versions of soupgate
for linux to work correctly and also soup.

What I found was

oli soup - will compile and seems to happily pass login/pass to NNTP and then
pull down / create soup packets for newsgroups.

oli soupgate import failed with errors, saying it couldn't read the files it
was trying to import

I then used the static compiled soupgate.static from the website to run
import and that worked to created FTN packets the HUB could import

Testing the otherway from HUB to gate to NNTP has been the real issue.

oli soupgate export worked but oli spoon failed to post to NNTP reporting
issues in the files it was trying to post

* Posting article to nz.test
NNTP host returned error: 441 Can't parse Date: header
! NNTP server did not accept message
free(): double free detected in tcache 2
Aborted

I reset the export test and used soupgate.static export but it failed to see
the FTN packet in the outbound directory despite it being present :(

On a hunch I changed the .clo file in the outbound to .CLO and then the
soupgate.static found the packet and exported it.

Then I tried using oli soup to send to NNTP and while it posted it still also
fully failed to run correctly borking with this error

* Posting article to nz.test
free(): double free detected in tcache 2
Aborted

The REPLIES file in my Soup folder was still left behind, I think related to
this abort.

In sum,

3 hours I can't get back :)
Seems problematic to get two linux versions of files working.
No idea why the static soupgate seems so picky about exporting files and only
happy to look for upper case BSO files.. sigh.

I may well soon turn attention to researching and trying to get another
option working for linux.

I want to get gateway stuff sorted before putting the Fido HUB with HPT
online.
