<H1>The DXSpider CVS Changes addendum </H1>

-<P><HR>
+<H2>Ian Maude, G0VGS, (ianmaude@btinternet.com)</H2>Version 1.50 July 2002
+<HR>
<EM>A reference for CVS users of the DXSpider DXCluster program.</EM>
<HR>
<P>If you have any problems with a new CVS version please mail the support
-list or come and report on WW Convers channel 9000 or from a 44 host to
-sys2.pa4ab.ampr.org (44.137.44.16) port 6667 (IRC) and join #9000.
-<P>
-<P>The latest CVS is version 1.47. There are major changes going on currently
-as the code is altered to allow DXSpider to be run under Microsoft Windows.
-<P>There is a separate file for the Windows installation in the /spider/html
-and /spider/txt directories so I will not include that here.
-<P>For Linux users, there are several steps to complete to update from
-version 1.46.
-<P>PLEASE READ ALL THE FOLLOWING BEFORE STARTING
-<P>
-<UL>
-<LI>tar up your existing perl and cmd directories and put them somewhere
-safe so you can revert to the old version if necessary.</LI>
-<LI>Do a CVS update in the normal way (cvs update -d)</LI>
-<LI>cp /spider/perl/Listeners.pm to /spider/local and edit it as below</LI>
-<LI>comment out the spdlogin line in inetd.conf and 'killall -HUP inetd'</LI>
-<LI>"make" the client in /spider/src (just in case it has changed)</LI>
-<LI>restart the cluster and pray :-)</LI>
-</UL>
-<P>The Listeners.pm file looks something like this ...
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-#
-# Copy this file to /spider/local and modify it to your requirements
-#
-#
-# This file specifies which local interfaces and ports you will be
-# listening on
-#
-# You can add as many as you like
-#
+list.</P>
-package main;
+<P>The latest CVS is version 1.50 build 57.002. There are major changes going on currently
+as the code is being prepared for New Protocol.</P>
-use vars qw(@listen);
+<P>There are currently no addenda, please look to the /spider/Changes file for any
+small alterations.</P>
-@listen = (
-# ["localhost", 7300],
-# ["foo.dxcluster.net", 7300],
- );

-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>Alter the hostnames and ports to reflect you setup. This file is only
-used for incoming telnet requests. You do not have to use hostnames, it
-is quite ok to use IP addresses and it is also a matter of choice whether
-or not you add the domain.
-<P>Here is an example of a working Listeners.pm file ..
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-@listen = (
- ["localhost", 8000],
- ["sys2", 8000],
- ["apu", 8000],
- );
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>Now all this is well and good if you have a static IP address. If your IP
-address is dynamic then one line will do, like this ...
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-@listen = (
- ["0.0.0.0", 8000],
- );
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>From this version, the file client.pl has ceased to be needed. In fact it
-has been removed. If you are still using client.pl in your ax25d.conf then
-replace it with /spider/src/client.
-<P>
