I uploaded my build.def from C-news to tsx-11 about a week or two ago, but
it doesn't appear to be there at all now. Same goes for the other person
who uploaded 'all' of c-news and 'all' of rn4.4 to tsx-11. I sure can't
find any evidence of my stuff or either in tsx's index files or on the system.
Is there some hidden criteria where stuff that gets uploaded gets quietly
nuked on tsx (etc.) or did stuff just disappear in the ongoing reorganization?
[...can the person who uploaded 'rn' and the person who got 'nn' to work please
drop me a line ? I'd like to put together a 'newspak' with news and a few
newsreaders to complement Ed's 'mailpak'...]
Once again, here's a 'build.def' that works for the 12/22/91 version of C-news,
which means it's the current patchlevel *without* the optional 5/92 speedups.
==================================== cut below ============================
this is the 'build.def' file for C-news 12/21/91 patchlevel
under linux 096c or above. Use this as your build.def
and re-run 'build' and you'll have default answers that
will work with linux.
be aware that I put stuff in 'non-standard' places, so
you'll have to change the paths to suit your likes and
dislikes as part of running build...other than that,
you shouldn't have to mess with the C-news sources.
this is *NOT* a build.def for the 'current' C-news
with the May-92 performance increase interim patches.
It's plenty fast enough under Linux with the 'official'
patches that this build.def *DOES* handle.
