It's been a while since I built this software and looking back at my notes I used to do this with success

d /hub/temp/huskyproject/
ls
cd hpt
git pull
cd ..
cd htick
git pull
cd ..
cd huskylib/
git pull
cd ..
cd fidoconf/
git pull
cd ..
cd areafix/
git pull
cd ..
cd huskybse/
git pull
cd ..
cd smapi/
git pull
cd ..
cd hptzip/
git pull
cd ..
cd htick/
git pull
cd ..
make
cd huskylib/
make
sudo make install
cd ..
cd smapi/
make
sudo make install
cd ..
cd fidoconf/
make
sudo make install
cd ..
cd areafix/
make
sudo make install
cd ..
cd hptzip/
make
sudo make install
cd ..
cd hpt
make
sudo make install
cd ..
cd htick/
make
sudo make install
cd ..
cd huskybse/
make
sudo make install
cd ..


but now I get the following

avon@orac:/hub/temp/huskyproject/hpt$ git pull

when I look at the install.asciidocs it talks about updating?? a csvdate.h file date for each directory? I can see the date in the file in the  HPT directory but how to know what to change it to?

git log -1 --date=short --format=format:"%cd" h/*.h src/*.c
2021-04-19

what am I missing?

I don't want to break my system
