- System: rn version 4.3
- Patch #: 17
- Priority: REALLY LOW
- Subject: articles which are subdirectories should really be ignored
- >From: lwall@sdcrdcf (Larry Wall)
-
- Description:
- In a newsgroup like net.micro, there is a subdirectory named 432
- for storing articles in net.micro.432. Unfortunately this looks like
- an article number to rn, so it tries to display it. No big deal,
- but it could be confusing. The following patch causes rn to ignore
- "articles" that aren't regular files.
-
- Fix: 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.
