       Hello Niklas!              08 Sep 17 11:05, you wrote to me:               IJ>> I still hope that Mirko Viviani (GMS-Mailer) and Pino Aliberti        IJ>> (MailManager) will release their source code and someone ports it        IJ>> to Linux and/or AmigaOS4.1 and give it some updates. ;)        NL> That's a lot of things to hope for. :-)              Well, not that much! I guess many original authors would be willing to release       their 10-20 year old source code of their little tool or program as GPL or       public domain.       The problem is to find them under their current mailaddress and approach them       in a polite and convincing way. There seems to be some other guy(s) that are       doing exactly this: @Amigasourcecodepress on Twitter.               NL> The source to CrashMail is        NL> available on GitHub even though it's not actively developed. The        NL> author is alive though and accepted a pull request for a bug I fixed a        NL> while ago.              Having the crashmail source on github is excellent. OTOH, crashmail is already       packaged in Debian, so being an Open Source project is a requirement to get       released with Debian. ;)       Nevertheless a good decision anyways :)               NL> I run CrashMail and Binkp on Linux on the same machine as I run the        NL> Amiga Emulator where NiKom (the BBS and Fido reader) runs. So the        NL> Amiga can access the Fido message database on the same filesystem as        NL> everything else.              Well, I considered using crashmail as well and yes, the background of being       originally an Amiga program was one of my main considerations about it.       Unfortunately I would have needed other tools that are currently not packaged       for Debian. Husky OTOH is packaged for Debian by Philipp Giebel, so I went       that road.              Ingo                     --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5--b20170303        * Origin: AmigaXess - back in FidoNet after 17 years (2:2452/413)    |
