Hello, Nicholas!

Friday March 15 2024 17:21, from Nicholas Boel -> Nil Alexandrov:

 NA>> Unless I am missing something, there have been a couple of
 NA>> patches to jamnntpd/smapinntpd announced in this echo conference
 NA>> but none of them have landed on GitHub.

 NA>> Where do you guys commit your changes?
 NA>> Maybe https://github.com/ftnapps/jamnntpd - ame committed 8 years
 NA>> ago Maybe https://github.com/ftnapps/smapinntpd/ - ame committed
 NA>> 11 years ago

 NB> Thanks for getting the ball rolling. You made me get off my ass and
 NB> figure out github. I had only known 'clone' and 'pull' until recently.

It is never late to learn new things, especially if you are coming from CVS or SVN or whatever world. Cause the whole world is now on git as an industry standard.

 NB> I have forked them both, and they are currently matching each other
 NB> with patches and features. Please check the CHANGELOG to see what's
 NB> been done:
 NB> https://github.com/axxisd/jamnntpd
 NB> https://github.com/axxisd/smapinntpd

Ah, it is not about repo anymore, it is more about a commitment to be a maintainer for both projects. :-)

Though, it would be more fun if you can merge them in a way that there is a #ifdef use SMAPI or jamlib, cause the rest should be exactly the same.
As a sanity check, if you process NNTP requests differently, then you are basically failed. This is the same code which had forked worked at some point and later continued in a separate directions.

Best Regards,
Nil
