binkd starts via init.d script for the "production" node that is setup awaiting
a number...

The "testing" node has had the latest package corrected to install and then a
little updates and it will run on 14.04 basically  update-rc should do it, but
since I did that and changed the user for the init.d script at the same time it
may need that too... when I reboot this one it starts just like the normal
installed repo version does.

I am going to write up a little FAQ and offer the DEB up as soon as I get
things settled. I'll figure out what the depends that I removed is doing later
to hopefuly fix the manual fix that is needed to get it to start up... It
appears from glancing at it based on the fix that the commands to update-rc
changed between 14.04 and 15+ due to the systemd plaque ... which on 14.04 you
don't need but it seems to effec the upstart stuff.. I'll look at it later to
try to fix it so you don't need the "manual" fix.

BUT

doing binkd -qpP1:135/0 just makes it mad... and does nothing.

 rc>> binkd -nP1:135/0 ~/fido/binkd/binkd.cfg

That is the only way that "works" as *I* expect it to. And keeps binkd from
going nuts.

For the majority since at least in Z1 its net based and most binkp... Although
I am going to play with something to see if that works to do something still
net based.. but in a more familar way for me. Its more of project to see what
might happen in regards to this....



 AI> Yep, just make and install what you need and your done.. :)

Sorry, but you and others keep repeating that, and from that movie..

"I don't think that means what you think it does!" :) ;)

There appears to be very SPECIFIC rules which are hidden away in some crevice I
am not finding, or in some other language..

And that certainly was not the case...

 AI> It's important what order you install things.. areafix before hpt etc.

URRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Where are all these "RULES!!!???"!!!!!!!!!!! ???????????????? That is NOT in
the install text, and the other message I have just lists to make this stuff
AFTER doing something else huskylib, huskybase, xsmpai fidoconf then do the
other stuff like hpt etc...

That means pretty much what did compile when I did, is worthless then, as I
didn't go in that order...

URRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I think that VM is trashed anyway since syncterm just barfed all over it....
who knows..

So SPECIFICALLY what order is this stuff supposed to be done in????

sudo apt-get build-essential (+20 suggests) packages
then

get husky source

tar -xvf husysource
cd huskysource

cd huskylib
....
cd huskybse
....
cd xsmapi
....
cd fidoconf
.....

I'll look them over for the production node once node number and echos are
flowing there... THANKS!
