• Clean rebuild question (Linux)

    From Charlie@1:103/705 to All on Thursday, April 05, 2018 15:56:10
    The Unix Installation page in the wiki says "Occasionally, you may need to perform a clean rebuild. A clean build can generally be achieved by first executing ”make RELEASE=1 clean“ in the src/sbbs3 and src/sbbs3/scfg directories before performing your normal make command-lines (step 4 above), but sometimes (rarely) the clean command will need to be executed in one or all of the following directories first (e.g. when dependent files are deprecated and removed from CVS)" Does doing this reset sbbs.ini and services.ini back to their defaults? Does doing this affect any custom website templates/themes you may have made, any door games you may have installed, etc.? In other words, does it reset your BBS back to defaults, or are your changes, configurations and customizations preserved?

    Never mind, I answered my own question. I backed up my sbbs directory and tested it. A clean rebuild didn't affect the configuration settings or web themes. I should have thought of trying that before posting. :)
