Now that AlcoBot is useable, I think the pretime module can replace the pre time functionality in nxTools.

AlcoBotâs pretime module features:

nxToolsâ pre-time features:

Rationality behind removing the pre-time functionality from nxTools.

The pre-time module in AlcoBot maintains a persistent connection, so queries take less time. Whereas nxTools must connect and disconnect for each database operation, since there is no guarantee that ioFTPD will reuse the Tcl interpreter.
AlcoBot has all of the pre-time functionality that nxTools does, and more.
The IRC commands are a lot more convenient than the FTP SITE commands.
Removing the MySQL libraries from nxTools reduces the distribution size by 1MB.
No need to worry about possible licensing issues (MySQL libraries are GPL'd).

Opinions?

Now that AlcoBot is useable, I think the pretime module can replace the pre time functionality in nxTools. AlcoBotâs pretime module features: Add releases to the database on SITE PRE. Display the pre time of a new directory. The NEWDIR and pre time announcement are combined into one, reduces spam. Search the pre database using the !pre IRC command. Per-section time limits to dictate âlateâ releases. nxToolsâ pre-time features: Add releases to the database on SITE PRE. Display the pre time of a new directory, as separate announcement. Search the pre database using the SITE PRETIME FTP command. Per-section time limits to dictate âlateâ releases. Rationality behind removing the pre-time functionality from nxTools.
