rrn@lib.tmc.edu (Stan Barber) (01/06/91)
Description:
This is an official patch for rn 4.3. This is patch 54.
If you need the other patches, you can get them via the Archive Server
by sending mail to "archive-server@bcm.tmc.edu" with the subject line
of the form "send public rn.XX.patch". Note that only patches 41 and
later are available from this resource at this time. Once rn 4.4 is
released, the patches to rn 4.3 will be removed.
The fully patched rn kit is also available via anonymous ftp from
lib.tmc.edu and gazette.bcm.tmc.edu. Look in public/rn.
Special note: rn 4.4 will be released in February, 1991. Other patches
to rn 4.3 may be released before the rn 4.4 release, but there
will be no patch upgrading rn 4.3 to rn 4.4. Please plan to get
to fresh copy of the rn kit when 4.4 is released. It will be
available via the archive-server@bcm.tmc.edu at that time.
This patch fixes the following problems or adds the following new
features:
[From eggert@twinsun.com]
GNU grep 1.5 (the latest version) objects to Pnews's regular expression
'^[A-Z][A-Za-z\-]*: *$', saying: ``grep: Unbalanced [''. As a result,
Pnews posts nothing. The regular expression itself is slightly wrong:
'\' is not a special character inside [...], so [...\...] is merely a
character set that includes '\'; the '\' should be deleted. However,
GNU grep 1.5 has a bug: '[X-]' is not handled correctly. Although this
bug will be fixed in a later version of GNU grep, 1.5 is in widespread
use, so it's best to avoid this bug.
Lines that look like empty header lines are filtered from the message
body as well as the message header. This mangles the body of legal
messages.
[From whales@cs.ucla.edu]
The "fast skip patch" when using NNTP does not work.
To reproduce the bug, go into a newsgroup and use the "M" command to
mark a series of three or more expired article numbers to return. Then
use "q" to leave the newsgroup, "-" to return to it, and "=" to display
the subject lines. Now, read the last article in the newsgroup, and
type a ^N to search by subject for the next article. RN will indicate
it is "skipping" articles, and before long will mark the entire news-
group as read.
[From edward@twg.com]
The News Administrator can't cancel articles that aren't
his but are from his site.
This happens because "newsuid" is not getting initialized.
Fix:
cd to your rn source directory and patch away
