Heh, I'd had a poke around and ended up looking at
http://inn.eyrie.org/viewcvs/trunk/TODO?view=log
and was wondering why I was finding it cryptic. Oops, again. Thanks.
I've merged from backupfeed what I can see is missing in pullnews:
- pull only a proportion (factor) of articles ( -f )
- sleeps between articles/groups ( -z / -Z )
- Path: fake hop insert ( -F )
- NNTP connection timeout ( -N )
- overall session timeout ( -S ).
Does anyone here use backupfeed and is able to check functionality?
> frontends/nntpget also does the same thing and should also be included.
Will have a look at that another time. :-)
I've also:
- fixed more warnings;
- reordered the option testing (alphabetically, to be consistent);
- fixed what I may be a long-standing bug in the section with the
comment 'we connected OK', where we reset the high watermark
(now that -w exists, if the server resets article numbers, I
think it best we reset to the low value not the high - comments?);
- improved the 'quiet' logging
My third public version now available.
To save this list more minor traffic, I'm on IRC (Freenode and OFTC) as Gedge,
if you care to join #irc-workers there.
