[news.software.b] C News Bulletin #2 - three fixes to expire subsystem

henry@utzoo.UUCP (Henry Spencer) (11/18/87)

The following are fixes for things in the expire directory:

1. In upact, "umask NEWSUMASK" should be "umask $NEWSUMASK".

2. In expire.c, in the function control(), if you put "if (ctl[0] != '#')"
	in front of "ctlline(ctl);", you will be able to put #-comment lines
	into the expiry control file, which is a Good Thing if you have
	complex expiry policies.

3. In expire.c, in the function printstuff(), "field[1]" should be "field[0]".
	You will notice a difference only if you use the -p option.
