Great! I'm glad to hear this. 2.0 was frighteningly buggy, and I haven't been bold enough to try 2.1 : I don't want package 2.1 yet, because it still has bugs : and is not too fast (the overview implementation is a lot slower). : I've only tested the storage-enabled version sofar, I'm going to : run the normal version on one news server tomorrow. We'll see how that : goes. You're speaking of CNFS here, right? : Then I have to find out a migration path from 1.7.2 to 2.x, unfortunately : some configuration files have changed format and worse the history : file format is different too (dbz 6 instead of dbz 3). And the inn-dev : stuff (libs) have changed a lot too .. : : Also I have to ask the perl maintainer to package the perl shared : library seperate, so that a perl upgrade won't hose your INN system : unexpectedly (and force me to release INN in sync with perl). Is this also the case if I recompile INN 1.7.2 and enable perl support? I'm interested in recompiling 1.7.2 for a few reasons, namely cleanfeed and the insync patches. How you managed to do such an excellent job packaging INN in the forst place is beyond me - it's a complete cluster from what I can see. I'm not a developer and I don't have a good handle on the contents of the ./debian directory, so it's pretty unclear to me how I will be able to recompile this and end up with a deb (I'm pretty sure that won't happen the way I have it now). My main concern is actived (from the insync patches) - I need to tell dpkg about that somewhere and add install rules, right? Having just read that last paragraph, I sound like an idiot :) I guess it's time to knuckel down and RTFM, perhaps install a helper package ... If anyone else gets bold and beats me to an INN-1.7.2.insync package, let me know :) -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
