Hi Mark,

what's the latest version of makenl-ng available for linux?

This is the latest for linux, with a binary _in_ the archive:

http://www.filegate.net/coordutl/MN346LNX.ZIP

But - I usually grab the source and compile it on my linux box rather than use the binary in MN346LNX.ZIP.

You can grab the source file here if you like,
http://www.filegate.net/coordutl/MN346SRC.ZIP (source archive!)

do i need to download the latest repository version and build it for x86_64? what problems might i face? (eg: problem detecting newest DOY file)

It's pretty easy to build the binary from the source, I do it everytime a new version comes out.
First I make a clean directory where I can work:

mkdir newnmsource
cd newnmsource
unzip /home/ftp/pub/coordutl/MN346SRC.ZIP

make -f makefile.linux

=== results you'll see:
bbs@filegate:~/newnmsource/makenl-3.4.6/src$ make -f makefile.linux gcc -Wall -W -c config.c
gcc -Wall -W -c crc16.c
gcc -Wall -W -c fileutil.c
gcc -Wall -W -c fts5.c
gcc -Wall -W -c lsttool.c
gcc -Wall -W -c makenl.c

=== cut here.

ls -ltrh

Let me know if you run into any problems...

Take care,

For the latest and the greatest,

I run this as a cron job once a week. It all but replaces the the version
on the default search path.

The DOY still uses the 7 day interval. So you need some external
handling for dailies.

For daily net segments consider

publish Today
make network xx net-xx ; "master data file", No input data.

For regions you will have to be more creative,
