1 A list of things to add or finish working on for the UUCPbb package. These
|
|
|
2 are listed in no particular order. If you wish to work on something or
|
|
|
3 contribute to the package, contact me.

8 1. UUSTAT -- The code is mostly done, but still has a few bugs to nail.
|
|
|
9
|
|
|
10 2. MAILX needs continue moving in the direction of more like UNIX's mailx.
|
|
|
11
|
|
|
12 3. FILSERV need to make it smarter. :-) Right now it will attempt to
|
|
|
13 send any size file in a single message. This is "Not A Good Thing" (tm)
|
|
|
14 to do. Most systems bounce mail greater than 100K. FileServ needs to
|
|
|
15 split large files into smaller pieces for mail.
|
|
|
16
|
|
|
17 The begins of the code to allow submitting files is there, but this
|
|
|
18 feature is not yet implement.
|
|
|
19
|
|
|
20 Allow mailing list to be run by FileServ.
|
|
|
21
|
|
|
22 4. UUCLEAN expand it so will scan the days uulog file and keep statistics
|
|
|
23 on UUCP calls. Be nice to know how many minutes you actually spent
|
|
|
24 for a day's/week's/month's phone calls.
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
26 5. RMAIL allow regular expression parsing of addresses. This would allow
|
|
|
27 something along the lines of UNIX sendmail (though hopefully easier
|
|
|
28 to comprehend :-) ). Brad Spencer <brad@anduin.eldar.org> had some
|
|
|
29 ideas. If you want to try working something like this, contact Brad.

31 6. POSTNEWS needs to be fixed. It still doesn't allow cross-posting
|
|
|
32 a follow-up article to more than one newsgroup. If the original
|
|
|
33 article was posted to multiple newsgroups, your follow-up only goes to
|
|
|
34 the group you are reading the article no. Not good.
|
|
|
35 articles
|
|
|
36
|
|
|
37 7. READNEWS can't think of specific things, but I'm sure y'all will. :-)
|
|
|
38
|
|
|
39 8. Feed news- UUCPbb do allow you to provide a news feed to anyone right
|
|
|
40 now. We are limited to only receiving news. I would like to able to
|
|
|
41 provide news feeds to someone "downstream" from us.
|
|
|
42
|
|
|
43 9. Protocols. Currently only the 'g' protocol is supported. I would like
|
|
|
44 to try implementing the bi-directional 'i' protocol which Taylor (GNU)
|
|
|
45 UUCP uses. This should help cut down phone time. :-)
|
|
|
46
|
|
|
47 gproto.c could use a little more robustness. Boisy, Brad and I have it
|
|
|
48 talking to different versions of UUCICOs we had access to. When talking
|
|
|
49 to DEC Ultrix on the CoCo, gproto.c sometimes gets lost when it drops
|
|
|
50 some bits. UUCICO eventually times out. The code needs a little more
|
|
|
51 tweaking so dropped bits don't always leave the CoCo twiddling its
|
|
|
52 registers. :-)
|
|
|
53
|
|
|
54 10. Working with BBSs. I have not have any opportunity to getting UUCPbb
|
|
|
55 and the various OS-9 BBSs programs to work together. No reason why it
|
|
|
56 can't be done. If you do it, send along your work!
|
|
|
57
|
|
|
58 11. Other ideas?
