FWIW, I just fetched and rebuilt pan after about 10 days off (during which I switched to ssd storage and btrfs, reorganized partitioning, learned a bit more about initramfs and created and started using one to boot my dual-device raid1-mode btrfs root filesystem on the new ssds... busy time!)... And all sorts of pan stuff seems to have broken in the mean time, including the build-time detection of gnutls, so pan built without it as it couldn't detect it to build with it. Meaning I experienced first-hand the "broken pan" effect this thread was all about. Since I only have my text instance up and running ATM, and it's only connected to gmane these days, at first I thought gmane must be down. But after several hours, I got to wondering. Luckily I remembered this thread, and went to server settings to check. Sure enough, missing ssl settings. Sure enough, set it back to the standard clear-text nntp port 119, and I connected right back up! So then I went to go find this thread and do a followup, and that's when I noticed the OTHER breakage! But that really belongs in a new thread. Meanwhile, I still have to dig into the gnutls detection and figure out why pan quit detecting it... maybe it's a pan change, more likely pan can't see the latest gnutls due to changes there... and patch/hack/ downgrade/change-build-time-settings as appropriate to fix it. ... And I have to figure out the other breakage and fix it too. Seems a whole submenu went missing somewhere along the line, with a function I had a hotkey assigned to, that's now broken! -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
