  • src/sbbs3/upgrade_to_v319.c

    From Rob Swindell (on Debian Linux)@VERT to Git commit to main/sbbs/master on Wed May 27 22:35:57 2026
    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/46e06da739b2b3cb36eb403a
    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/upgrade_to_v319.c
    Log Message:
    upgrade_to_v319: refuse to clobber already-upgraded file bases

    After smb_open(), check smb.status.total_msgs and skip any dir with
    existing files; require -f on the command line to force overwrite.
    Previously the tool unconditionally re-ran smb_create() on every dir, destroying populated SMB file bases when re-run on an upgraded system.

    Also remove the unused overwrite() helper and add -h/-? usage.
