Modified Files:
src/sbbs3/pack_qwk.cpp un_qwk.cpp
Log Message:
pack_qwk: no NEWFILES.DAT in off-line packets; unpack_qwk: reuse <hub>.in
Since bfab7b8c2b (buses-11-jade, 2026-10-25), a QWK packet packed off-line (FTP, web, scripts, the event thread) is built by sbbs_t::init_job(), which loads the user's file directories (getusrdirs()) for REP import. The old event-thread pre-pack never loaded them, so create_filelist() found no directories and no off-line packet ever carried a NEWFILES.DAT. Now every
user with QWK_FILES set got one, and QWK_FILES is in QWK_DEFAULT, so on VERT
76 QWKnet node accounts started receiving it the day the new build ran.
Nothing saves the user's advanced new-file scan time after an off-line pack,
so each packet repeated the same list (142 KB per packet for one node whose scan time was from 2017). pack_qwk() now builds NEWFILES.DAT only for an interactive download, as before.
That exposed a bug in unpack_qwk() on the hub side: it called MKDIR on data/qnet/<HUBID>.in for every file a hub packet carried and logged
"!ERROR 17 (File exists)" whenever the directory was already there. It now creates the directory only when it doesn't exist.
