To process mail, files and test new uploads you need archivers to process those
|
|
files. For each (un)archiver you must setup the full path and filename and
|
|
commandline switches. Archivers and unarchivers may be different programs such
|
|
as <strong>zip</strong> and <strong>unzip</strong>.<p>
|
|
There is a little
|
|
difference in processing mail and files, mail will always work on the same
|
|
directory, while for ticfile processing the archives can contain subdirectories.
|
|
So it is obvious that for rearchiving a file you need the recursive
|
|
switches to keep the directory structure within an archive as it was.<P>
|
|
There is also a special command to replace a banner in an archive. This is when
|
|
you receive files with the banner of your uplink in it and you want to replace
|
|
it with the add of your own bbs and you don't want to mess with the files in
|
|
the archive. <P>
|
|
The last option is to extract the file FILE_ID.DIZ from the
|
|
archive, this can be used for file description when the file is imported in
|
|
your bbs. To make life a little more easy, during the first bbs setup the most
|
|
common archivers already configured. You only need to make sure that they are
|
|
really present on your system.
|
|
<p>
|
|
When you configured the sources and build mbse, the configure script searched
|
|
for excisting archivers. When mbsetup was run the first time, when mbtask was
|
|
started, the archivers found on your system are already configured with the
|
|
right paths and enabled.
|
|
If you want the refresh the archivers configuration again after you added new
|
|
archiver programs, then remove /opt/mbse/etc/archiver.data. Compile the whole
|
|
bbs again, start with <code>make clean</code> and <code>./configure</code>.
|
|
After you reinstalled the binaries, run <b>mbsetup</b> and the new archivers are
|
|
automagic added to the setup. Of course, you can also add new archivers
|
|
manually. Archivers that were not originally found but are known, are present in
|
|
the setup but are disabled.
