cd /sbbs/repo/exec
cp *.js /sbbs/exec
That's a mistake: the copy must be recursive, as pointed out on the Step 4 of https://wiki.synchro.net/install:dev
Start with the recusive update of your exec directory, per the instructions.
As always, I misinterpreted the docs. This fixed the issue and I'm writing to you from the newer version compiled and installed and upgraded the proper way! ;)
Thank you for the good news!
You're the best!
Upon review, the upgrade wiki page was a little vague/misleading (e.g. the difference between the "SYMLINK=1" install option versus the "symlinks" make target), so your struggles with the instructions are understood and hopefully my recent edits have made them a little clearer for the next upgrading SyncOp. :-)
