In which I build a reliable (with automated retransmit) #asynchronous network out of #USB drives using #NNCP. https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10421-dead-usb-drives-are-fine-building-a-reliable-sneakernet
@jgoerzen I'm really glad you wrote this because it was the sneakernet capabilities of NNCP that interest me. I updated the pkgsrc-wip package for NNCP to 8.7.2 about 2 ½ weeks ago, by the way.
@ND3JR Glad to help! And thanks for uploading the newer NNCP also.
@jgoerzen You're welcome. But "upload" is definitely not the term I'd use. pkgsrc is a source-based packaging system, akin to FreeBSD ports (in fact that's where it came from) or Gentoo's portage. Basically I had to update the URL to download the source tarball in the Makefile, and the distinfo (which contains the checksums for any files downloaded). I would have had to update the PLIST file if anything new had been added. But it was easier than I thought it would be.
