Nope, just install it.

Nothing more is necessary, that I recall.

The script does it for you automatically.

well i think i'll wait for a while with 3.20.
i copied files off git, got the sbbs_dev files copied over.
i also ran update.js

i also have the sbbsctrl env variable and sbbsnode variable set
the thing is, this guy is running his bbs in :
/synchronet instead of sbbs

maybe that's the issue, but i run scfg and it thinks it's a new bbs and runs the wizard and his door settings, bbs settings, etc are gone.

sbbsctrl says it's pulling config from the right directory.
dunno, his funny install is acting weird with 3.20.

SCFG->Servers section (stuff you can set in sbbs.ini) was added in v3.20 (the development version).

do i have to build from source?

No, there are prebuilt binaries of current v3.20 dev builds available. https://wiki.synchro.net/install:dev

The dates shown on that web page were the file dates (from the file system) rather than the file-added dates, so I see how that could be confusing. The sorting is based on the date-added date, so that should be the date shown. I'll be fixing that.

That said, the sbbs_dev.* files aren't re-added daily, just the file on the file system is updated, so it wouldn't show at the top of the list (when sorting by date) anyway.

It's important that the update.js you run *is* the latest.

i also have the sbbsctrl env variable and sbbsnode variable set

That doesn't matter.

maybe that's the issue, but i run scfg and it thinks it's a new bbs and runs the wizard and his door settings, bbs settings, etc are gone.

RTFW.
