Hello, Oli!

Friday September 30 2022 19:49, from Oli -> Nil Alexandrov:

 Ol> JamNTTPd still uses jamlib. There is a fork called SmapiNNTPd, but it
 Ol> has been abandoned.

Correct. Both JamNTTPd and SmapiNNTPd work fine with 32-bit Linux distro, though JamNTTPd out of the git HEAD repo will corrupt your JAM database when run in 64-bit environment, try it out yourself. In this sense, I would say that SmapiNNTPd is sort of less abandoned than the original one.

 NA>> you that jamlib has also broken support for endianness, it
 NA>> basically will not work correctly on big-endian platforms.
 Ol> Are you sure? From https://github.com/larsks/jamlib/ :
 Ol>  * JAMLIB been rewritten so that it no longer reads or writes structs
 Ol>    directly from or to disk. This makes JAMLIB more portable and
 Ol> ensures
 Ol>    that the Intel byte-order is used on all platforms.

Ah yeah, my bad. The endianness has been fixed a long time ago. I just happened to look at some really old jamlib source.

Best Regards, Nil
