- Patch #: 31
- Priority: LOW
- Subject: Number of new articles arriving is miscalculated
- From: tonyb@tektools.UUCP (Tony Birnseth) [sort of]
-
- Description:
- When new articles arrive, rn prints a message telling the user how
- many new articles have arrived. ("nn new articles have arrived!")
- The count is incorrect.
-
- Repeat by:
- Wait till this event occurs and the number of new articles reported
- will be the sum of the old number of articles + the new ones that
- have arrived instead of the difference between the new count and
- the last know high numbered article.
-
- Fix: First of all, if you applied the patch Tony sent out, unapply it.
- patch -R should do what you want. Then apply the following patch.
-
- From rn, say "| patch -d DIR", where DIR is your rn source directory.
- Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch <thisarticle". If you don't have
- the patch program, apply the following by hand, or get patch.
-
- If patch indicates that patchlevel is the wrong version, you may need
- to apply one or more previous patches, or the patch may already
- have been applied. See the patchlevel file to find out what has or
- has not been applied. In any event, don't continue with the patch.
