suggestion for netupdate

[NaZguL]

.netupdate -everything

will update everything including *.conf
for every bots, its a nice feature but it requiers all confs to be in eggdrop root

could u make a netbots/conf dir for confs in the next rls ?

having 40-50 confs in the main dir will make it all so "messy"

i'm sure its "easy" to edit the tcl to have a own dir for confs but i'm no tcl coder so thats why i'm requesting this ,tnx

It doesn't require all confs to be in the root dir, just that the bot sending have the file in the same relative location as the bot requesting.

For example, if WimpBot's conf is netbots/confs/wimp.conf and you do a .netupdate from ToughBot, then WimpBot will ask ToughBot for netbots/confs/wimp.conf, and that's where ToughBot will look.

yea ok but, the leaf bot have its conf in /home/user/eggdrop/ it will request it from /home/user/eggdrop/ on the hub bot and it make distro bot have all the the conf's for the whole botnet in eggdrop/ dir.

i want to be able to edit the conf of a leaf bot on the hub shell, then use netupdate and nethash to update all bots

without cluttering the main dir of the hub bot

hub netbots/conf/*.conf ---> leaf /home/user/eggdrop/*.conf

There is no support for having the files in a different relative directory on the distribution bot.

Alternatives are to use a 'conf' dir on your leaf bots, or name the confs in such a way that they don't clutter things in the root (e.g. conf.bot rather than bot.conf, so they're bunched together alphabetically).

yes i know know there is no support for it

thats why i put "suggestion" in the topic of the post

Okay. I understand the logic of the suggestion but for practical reasons I don't think it will make it in the next release.
