Eggdrop: Quick and dirty upgrade to 1.6.19
Filed under: Eggdrop
True to neglected-category form, I’ve just recently upgraded my eggdrops from 1.6.18 to… wow… 1.6.19, a little less than seven months after the latest incremental version was released last April 18. YAWN.
A one-liner was enough for the upgrade; platform is OpenBSD, running a vanilla GENERIC kernel off 4.3-release:
[mish@shell ~]$ wget geteggdrop.com && tar xvzf eggdrop1.6.19.tar.gz && cd eggdrop1.6.19 && ./configure && make config && make && make install && cd ~/eggdrop && ll
The only odd thing I noticed was an additional symlink:
rwxr-xr-x 1 mish wheel 14 Nov 15 10:39 modules -> modules-1.6.19
drwxr-xr-x 2 mish wheel 512 Nov 15 10:39 modules-1.6.19
Up until 1.6.18, the install only put one symlink in the eggdrop directory; a symlink to the eggdrop binary itself:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 mish wheel 14 Nov 15 10:39 eggdrop -> eggdrop-1.6.18
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mish wheel 1824307 Nov 15 10:39 eggdrop-1.6.18
What the change is about, I’ve no idea. I can’t find any file that explains the changes, either, so… YAWN. I’ll tool around in the docs directory maybe some other time. I’ve near-totally lost interest in eggdrop and IRC, but there’s still that remaining curiosity-pull.
