[news.software.b] Patchlevel for B2.11?

mrapple@quack.UUCP (Nick Sayer) (12/11/89)

As I speak I am installing patch #8 to B2.11 news. (of
course I have already installed 0-7). This is the highest
patch file I could find in the comp.sources.unix archives at
osu-cis. Is this the highest patch? Should I be deathly
afraid that I don't have patches 9 and above?

Deathly afraid, no.  Looking in a better place, yes.  I hadn't even
realized there were patches hiding there.  Ask for
osu-cis!~/news/PatchXX.Z instead, for XX between 01 and 19.

Those chunks of the archives are only sporadically maintained,
particularly since Paul Placeway left.  Check osu-cis!~/GNU.how-to-get
to find patches up through #19 in osu-cis!~/news/Patch??.Z.

Not all patches to c.s.unix programs get posted to that group.
In addition to the osu-cis place,
	~/news/bnews-2.11/patches
on uunet.
