I'm not really sure if Matt incorporated the spate of patches he
released shortly after the original release of Gnews 2.0, but just in
case...
I have made a compressed tar of Gnews 2.0 available for ftp on
paris.ics.uci.edu [128.195.1.50]. The only difference between this
release and the one at ucbvax is that the one on paris has the file
gnews-site.el which contains all the patches that were released. Site
specific modifications should also go into this file, as mentioned in
a previous article.

Site Actually there are lots of differences between this release of Gnews 2.0 and the one at ucbvax because Matthew Wiener recreated the tar file on ucbvax in order to incorporate some last-minute changes *after* he had already announced Gnews 2.0's release. I already had to point this out to someone who could not find index-show-p in their copy of Gnews 2.0. Many sites got the old version instead of the new version; for example, the ftp archive maintainer for labrea.stanford.edu updated labrea's copy from ucbvax only today. If you cannot find index-show-p in your copy of Gnews, cd /usr/stanford/lib/gnuemacs/lisp/local/gnews-2.0/ grep -n index-show-p =* *.el /dev/null =MANUAL:3370:@item @code{index-show-p}@ @ @ [@code{t}] =MANUAL:3371:@vindex index-show-p =MANUAL:6050: index-show-p (not slow-baud-rate) NNTP.el:345: (if (and index-show-p (string-match "....0" d)) NNTP.el:362: (if index-show-p nil Spool.el:443: (if (and index-show-p (string-match "....0" d)) index.el:56:(defvar index-show-p t index.el:239: (if index-show-p index.el:245: (if index-show-p (sit-for 0)) then you have the old version of Gnews 2.0 and you should update your copy from ucbvax.berkeley.edu or labrea.stanford.edu. In particular, paris.ics.uci.edu still has the old version. Some of the patches in its gnews-site.el file are probably unnecessary now (although they certainly couldn't hurt).

Oh great, I've been running an old 2.0 for all this time? Oh well. I just grabbed the proper 2.0 from ucbvax and am in the process of installing it. I threw that plus that collection of patches I had in pub/gnews on paris.ics.uci.edu. I don't know which if any of those patches apply to the real 2.0 version. I'll do a diff and try to figure that out.
