I have just tried to re-build C-News on my system incorporating the latest patch (16Mar91) and find that I can't. It seems this patch has now caused the code to be broken on my system. The problem is the SIG_IGN statements in ../relay/relaynews.c, they need a typedef for sigarg_t. Prior to this patch, this was included in ../h/libc.h Adding the two lines: typedef VOID (*sigret_t)(); typedef VOID (*sigarg_t)(): back in where they used to be solves the problem. Where they taken out on purpose or by accident?

Are you afraid of overloading the net? No, actually, the point of it is that preparation of a patch is a significant amount of work and I'm very busy right now. (Building the patch itself is entirely mechanized, but checking it over is not.) The patches of the 16th and 17th actually got built only a couple of hours apart, but I didn't have time to proofread the second one then. Another reason for a small delay in the 17th and subsequent patches was to give some of the final mods a few days of operation on utzoo before posting them; we take this seriously as a final checkout. >AHA! I figured it out! Your patch identification scheme doesn't >allow you to send out more than one a day! ... Not usually a problem. I can always backdate or forward-date them if really necessary. -- "[Some people] positively *wish* to | Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology believe ill of the modern world."-R.Peto| henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
