- System: rn version 4.3
- Patch #: 19
- Priority: LOW
- Subject: on some systems rn can miss new newsgroups
- >From: stephen@dcl-cs.UUCP (Stephen J. Muir)
-
- Description:
- Some versions of inews don't create the spool directory immediately
- for newly created newsgroups. The routine in rn that determines the
- age of a newsgroup incorrectly assumes that a spool directory will
- be there before the first article arrives. This can cause newly
- created newsgroups to be skipped over in the scan for new newsgroups.
-
- 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.
