OK.

Well, how do you do this when you provide .tar.bz2 AND .tar.gz? Either
one will break.

leafnode 1.9.23.rc1 "bug shootdown" edition now available

(Bcc'd to Debian and SuSE leafnode maintainers.)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

ANNOUNCEMENT: Leafnode release candidate

The first release *candidate* of leafnode 1.9.23 is now availble. This
release is to fix important bugs and small annoyances, some of which
have been present in every leafnode version released so far.

leafnode-1.9.23.rc1 should be considered production quality, but watch
the INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES sections of the NEWS file as well as the
UPGRADING sections in the README file for upgrade instructions.

A special thank you goes to Ralf Wildenhues for his important bug
reports, code validation and fixes. Without him, leafnode 1.9 would not
be as good as it is now.

My apologies go to those who are struck by the incompatible changes, but
these have been unavoidable in some cases to fix bugs.

DOWNLOAD: http://mandree.home.pages.de/leafnode/

leafnode 1.9.23.rc1 is available for HTTP download in .tar.gz and
tar.bz2 formats from http://mandree.home.pages.de/leafnode/

At that site, you will also find the full ChangeLog and cryptographic
GnuPG signatures for the tarballs.

SHA1 checksums: (If you don't have sha1sum, get GNU textutils.)

Ambigous Message-ID

Hallo out there,

by checking some of my last postings I saw that my system produces
Message-ID's like:

Message-ID: <nqc2fa.3pa.ln <at> localhost>

I think  <at> localhost is not that what it should be, right? I'm not sure
which software produces that Message-ID, but because of the *.ln <at> *
I think it's leafnode. What to do to correct this behaviour?

Here are some information about my system:

andreas <at> home:~ > uname -a
Linux home 2.4.16-4GB #1 Tue Dec 18 15:10:30 GMT 2001 i686 unknown
andreas <at> home:~ > rpm -q leafnode
leafnode-1.9.22.rel-1
andreas <at> home:~ > rpm -q tin
tin-1.5.12-2
andreas <at> home:~ > cat /etc/hosts | grep '127.0.0.1'
127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       home.apo-im-plauen-park.de      home
andreas <at> home:~ > cat /etc/nntpserver
home.apo-im-plauen-park.de

Thanks for your effort!

Andreas

You are right.

That's correct.

> What to do to correct this behaviour?

Read http://www.leafnode.org/faq.html#17 and
http://www.qad.org/faq/faq-messageid.html (which is in German but from
your email address I guess this will not be a problem for you; if
anyone knows of a similar document in English please email me the URL).

You're correct. There's a bug in nntpd which is fixed in leafnode
1.9.23.rc2 that cannot easily be worked around on your configuration.

Thanks for the bug report.

As 1.9.23.rc2 is not yet in the wild, here's a quick fix for leafnode
1.9.22 users. To apply:

1. save the body of this mail
2. unpack the leafnode-1.9.22.rel tarball
3. cd to the leafnode-1.9.22.rel directory
4. patch -p1 </where/you/saved/this/mail/in/step/1
5. configure, compile and install as usual

Index: leafnode-1/nntpd.c
diff -u leafnode-1/nntpd.c:1.28 leafnode-1/nntpd.c:1.28.2.1
--- leafnode-1/nntpd.c:1.28	Wed Apr 17 21:41:43 2002

Re: Ambigous Message-ID

Sorry, I hosed the first patch. Please try this one instead.

(If you need to back out the first patch, use "patch -p1 -R </old/patch"
then "patch -p1 </new/patch" to apply the new one.)

successfully compile --with-ipv6 on Solaris 8/Sparc, FreeBSD 4.6/i386,
SuSE Linux 7.3/i386.

bug in validate_messageid


In leafnode-2.0b8_ma10pre3.3, a gotcha in validate_messageid().

After carefully calculating the number of chars between  <at>  and >, it then
uses that number of chars from the beginning of the message rather than at
 <at>  +1.

patch -p1 << \EOF
