whether to install 2.0 news ...
I came back from my vacation to find a pile of bug reports on the 2.0
distribution. Most of them are quite minor, a few are easy to fix but
potentially dangerous. I'm going to create a new distribution which
will incorporate all the fixes, and post a diff -e script to go from
the vanilla 2.0 release to this fixed version. I hope to have this
posted before this weekend.
I advise you to (1) keep your vanilla sources around - if you've already
clobbered them you can get them from net.sources, but beware that they
will probably expire this weekend. (2) unless you've already installed
2.0, I'd advise waiting until next week.
If there is significant demand, or if the diff file turns out to be
huge (unlikely), I'll repost the whole thing. But I'd rather not
do that - posting anything that big tends to bring out all the
unreliable pieces of uux - there are at least two big chunks of USENET
(the part on the ARPANET and the part below menlo70) that are missing
several files, and if I can figure out where they got dropped I'll
attempt to get them resent.
Please keep sending me any bug reports, preferably with fixes, as I'll
attempt to get them into the update.
Mark
P.S. Would all sites who have already installed 2.0 please drop me a
note? I'd like to know who is running it already.
