Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Wikipedia's article on INN <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterNetNews>
states that the project homepage is <https://www.isc.org/software/inn/>.
This redirects to <https://www.isc.org/downloads/other/>, which no longer
has any INN-related content or links. The nearest thing to an INN page
on www.isc.org is <https://www.isc.org/downloads/projects/>, which mentions
INN and a few other projects. Should the Wikipedia article be edited
to point to this, or maybe to some page on inn.eyrie.org?
The stale <https://www.isc.org/downloads/other/> link also appears on
<https://inn.eyrie.org/trac/>, <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/>,
and possibly other pages on *.eyrie.org. These ought to be fixed too.

I believe the article should mention these two addresses:
- https://www.isc.org/downloads/projects/
- http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/
Though the page on www.isc.org does not contain much content, the main
copyright for INN is held by them so their web site should be kept in
Wikipedia's links.
It is amusing to see that the official homepage
<https://www.isc.org/downloads/projects/> now states that "INN Homepage"
is <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/>!
> The stale <https://www.isc.org/downloads/other/> link
Then it means that the ISC folks recently changed the link, because it
was properly working last week.

In our configure script too.
Thanks for the report!
