Friends Disconnect When Zoning

Today, I'm working on finishing it all up now. Doing a few conversions and additional testing

Also, PEQ and EZ run on Debian FWIW

Awesome. From first hand experience, EQEmu Linux runs equally as well on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Fedora 30. Ubuntu 18.10 changed something with quests though because quests/hails do not work properly on Ubuntu 18.10 or 19.04.

I haven't tried Debian proper, but I might... Once I get everything working I'm going to pick a version of Linux to stick with.

So once you change this, if I do another clean install, I'll get the new loginserver with that, right? Probably going to change Linux distros again anyway.

Debian 10 and latest Ubuntu have the same issue, they share a similar package release stream since Ubuntu streams from Debian

So I assume then that the big EQEmu servers must roll with an older version of Debian.

You said before that new distro releases often times break EQEmu and have problems. Is the changelog what will eventually announce support for updated distros? (I assume eventually Ubuntu 19.04 and Debian 10 will be supported?)

Guess the moral of the story is not to jump on board with the lastest Linux distro releases. Lol

I think the issue is not necessarily with Perl but with GCC and how are opcodes are being compiled and ultimately coming down differently down the wire causing garbled issues

I've not investigated the issue myself yet as I've been working on other things but yes, the consensus is to not typically race to the latest and that goes for many things beyond EQEmu because it may not necessarily be stable

I'm still working through some last touches with loginserver work doing a bunch of testing, found a few things I needed to take care of yet. Everything should be published and ready to go by tonight

I started thinking Perl wasn't the problem too, just simply because Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and 19.04 both seemed to run the same version of Perl and performed differently with quests/hails.

As long as part of your testing is connecting from an outside connection and you're able to zone without getting kicked, I'm sure you'll iron everything out. lol.

Just FYI I ended up having to spend some extra time taking care of a handful of other things LS related before preparing for release, needless to say there's been a ton of work that's gone into this

I'll update when things are pushed out
