Exactly. I don't know that it still _requires_ them but in order to be able to run a test system, I figured it's easy to provide them just in case.

and i need to provide more gentoo stable ebuilds for husky, work in slow progress here, current is done from cvs, where all fails :)

I've been wanting to update the husky debian packages but all I've had a chance to do is make them available at the package repo at ftn.rocasa.net/debian/. They all show as i386 and source pkg builds being available but I've not really had a chance to test any of them very much. Really need to try rebuilding them as amd64, although I don't really know if such old versions will run or even build properly.

Wasn't somebody doing a .deb? Wonder how they handled it? Have to look.

I was and have been but have not had a chance to work on it for awhile.
(see https://github.com/ftnapps/mbsebbs for instance.) What I do recall is that using /opt/mbse is hardcoded in quite a few places and that should really be fixed.

I also have had (and have been testing) a separately named test project that has that all changed (mostly<g>, since it's not working properly) but haven't been able to work on that recently either.

I'll be interested to see that.

That's at https://github.com/ftnapps/FTNd. The debian packaging is in the 'debian' branch. I have it installing to /usr/lib/ftnd & still use symlinks because I don't know that I have all of the '/opt/mbse' hard codeing fixed.
I only have it running on my laptop... (It's a test system, after all...)

With the changes I made I haven't had any problems that I've noticed, and virtualmin works as expected as well. I'm like you, though, and haven't had a chance yet to do any more extensive testing or submit changes. I have a lot on my plate right now,
including refurbishing, moving into, and setting up a new facility, and
a road
trip coming up. Hopefully I will get to it soon, as well as some other projects
on the back burner.
