Bug #: 17
Subject: null junk files and checkgroups that want to remove everything
Index: inews.c (version 2.10.2)
Description:
Due to differences between 2.10.1 and 2.10.2, the DOXREFS patch
sent out with the rn kit for inews 2.10.2 can cause inews to do
certain strange things. All your files in the junk newsgroup will
end up empty, and the checkgroups control message will ask you to
remove all non-local newsgroups.
Repeat-By:
If you installed inews.c.2.pat, you've got the problem, and are
already repeating it.
Fix: Install inews.c.17-c on a 2.10.2 inews that already has the DOXREFS
patch. This new patch merely changes some LINKART's into DOXREFS's
(the code was already there, I just short-circuited), and moves the
call to control() to after the article file is copied. Someone
suggested changing the code in control() regarding checkgroups, but
changing inews.c is more general, and besides, I'm lazy and don't
want to patch two files when I could patch one.
