Hi all, and especially users of CURRENT,
I've just removed backends/filechan; it will no longer be present in
tomorrow's snapshot.
innupgrade will change calls to filechan in newsfeeds to "buffchan -u"
(unbuffered mode). If you use filechan in local scripts, you'll have to
update the calls.
I've also added in the newsfeeds sample file an example of use:
# Example of an exploder feed. See buffchan(8) for more details.
foo:news.*:Ap,Tm:buffchan!
uunet:*:Ap,Tm:buffchan!
buffchan!:*:Tx,WGm*:@bindir@/buffchan -f 2
It will generate files named "foo" and "uunet" in <pathoutgoing>,
containing lines like:
news.software.nntp <1643 at munnari.oz.au>
comp.sources.unix <999 at news.foo.com>
The contents of the files are defined with the "W" flag in the newsfeeds
line.
