Since I'm brand new to Synchronet, I was wondering what people'sexperience is with releases for Linux. Right now the latest release is 3.18c.
Does he typically bundle those into releases periodicly? Or are we justexpected to do a GIT update on our own? I asked him this question and he either didn't understand or I didn't understand his response. He basically said if I want the changes
pull them down. Which I get.... but I kinda wanna wait until he'scomfortable with it, at which point I assume he makes a "release".
From my experience, DM releases about every 12 months (more or less). But daily he is tweaking, fixing or trying new things out.

Yea so... yer right the current 'stable' release is 3.18a - but even that is an alpha so I guess I'm wrong in stating that its STABLE. Usually tho, the releases are pretty solid. As a normal user/sysOp, I don't pull down every night or week - but if something important is found while on an alpha, like some feature that is actually BROKEN or.... then I'll do a pull of the daily code for a particular fix.
It seems like the versions are just snapshots in time, but the software is changing literally every day so if you pull master periodically you'll always the latest fixes, etc. even if its in between versions
Makes sense. I need to get over my fears and try to do a GIT update. Ifit fails I can just switch to Mystic right? :-P
So if you want to bypass the compile and everything, then you are
welcome touse my docker container image.
I rebuild the image often (every few weeks or so), so after the initial setup(which might be a new learning curve), thereafter, all you need to
do is"docker pull" and restart the container - takes about a minute or
so.

Deon, what is YOUR BBS? I gotta jump on and checkout what you're rocking;seems like everyone is digging on your Docker joint.. do
you have one for Mystic, too?

My main BBS is synchronet, and if you connect on port 23, its pretty
much astandard Synchronet BBS.
What I am building (depending on moments of enthusiasm), is an ANSI version ofVideotex, which is available on port 24. There isnt much
content on port 24 (yet) I really should get something interesting going withit.
