qtp-newmodel is a script in QT-Plus that downloads the newest QMT packages
I thought that was in the qtp-plus menu if I recall. I don't have it in front
of me but will post it once I take another look. Something or some things in
there didn't work. Updating never worked, it never finds updates and there
were a couple of other things that didn't work.
I was sure I saw someone else post about that.
Updating right now will not work (as of about a week ago - Erik changed
the links to the location of the files, so those do not work).
The new version (in a couple days) will have the new links.
And FYI: plesk uses Postfix if I remember right from the last time I
looked at it - so all you're paying for is the pretty interface.
None of us here are paid for this. For example, I designed the
QMT-ISO-1.0 for myself, to make an installation I was working on easier.
I released it to the community as a way of contributing. I only did it
for myself, to make MY job easier. To be honest, I don't care about your
job. It's (your job) not making MY job any easier, nor is it paying me
anything, so I have no reason keep making new versions to make YOUR job
easier. I do anyway. Same with the rest of us here that contribute. I
think I can speak for most when I say we release something because we,
each individual, needed it and we thought that others may benefit from
it. Do I need an interface to administer my domains? Nope. So I see no
need to write one, or even fix the broken one. I imagine most of the
other contributers are the same.
Now if you (being the community collective - not any individual) paid us
the $250 a year Plesk does for support (even with simple numbers - I've
got 1910 downloads of my ISO: that would be $477,500.00 in revenue) then
I'm sure I could wrangle together 4 or 6 guys to write a REALLY nice
interface. But that's not the way it works. I've made less than a penny
per download of the ISO (from the donations).
Now if you like QMT, why not help contribute back like the rest of us
do. Document your installation and update the wiki. Programmers by
stereo-type are horrible documentation people. But not too many seem to
step back up to the plate when they're running their ENTIRE companies
off of the software/contributions we put out to even document
something. Or even take that $250 paid to Plesk and go to rent-a-coder
and got the vqadmin package fixed and released it back to the
community. Then you would have what you wanted, and be able to
contribute back to the rest of us (us being the community) who have
hundreds, if not thousands, of hours wrapped up in this type of thing
who all work on "thank you"s.
That's my 2-cents. I'll get off my soap-box now.
