I've installed CNEWS and NNTP on an A/UX machine and I'm busy writing
a technical note for future installers to ease their task. This outlines
the various stunts you have to pull to get the programs to compile under
A/UX, where to get sources and updates, how to apply patches, and how to
maintain everything once its running.
So some questions:
What site would be the best to get nntp and cnews from? I currently list
uunet.uu.net, but I've noticed the cnews file on there has moved recently.
I want to be able to say "A reasonably current copy of cnews is at xx.yy in
the /pub/cnews directory" and have the statement remain true.
How do you apply patches obtained off this newsgroup?
Maintenance: my history.pag file grows quickly to 8 Megs of data. Why?
Should I just use cron to blow it away occasionally?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can lend.
