I think you know more about autoconf than me, I suggested the renaming because configure.ac seems to be the prefered filename: | Previous versions of Autoconf promoted the name `configure.in', | which is somewhat ambiguous (the tool needed to produce this | file is not described by its extension), and introduces a slight | confusion with `config.h.in' and so on (for which `.in' means | "to be processed by `configure'").

Hi Egil, Thank you for the updates. 1.6 pre is working fine on Mac OS X, including updating article number on error. I found something I might suggest. I think the configure script seems to miss /usr/local/news/bin/rnews and /usr/local/news/bin/inews. It takes /usr/bin/rnews and /usr/bin/inews unless these are not there.

Version 1.6 preview
I've put a version 1.6 preview release under: http://home.powertech.no/egilkv/newsx-1.6pre.tar.gz To avoid the pre-version becoming permanent, I've put it in a temporary location. I will release a proper 1.6 by the end of the week if things go well. So please, try it out soon and give feedback here or to bugzilla. (It may in some cases be relevant to use bugzilla, and CC the list) Egil The news is: V1.6pre - 21 jan 2003 Aborted fecthes now updates state more consistently. Configure now insists that libinn and libstorage be present for recent versions of INN. Configure attempts to do more in terms of finding libraries for INN 2.x, so that so --with-newslib should no longer be required except in unusal cases. When we have libstorage, we now insist that we have a storage.h from INN. There is no longer a default storage.h in the distribution. Currently, we look for storage.h in /usr/include and /usr/include/inn and NEWSHOME/include. For other locations, please report to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or to bugzilla. The configure option --with-newsinclude may be used for specifying which directory to look in. The dostribution contains a suggested patch for INN 2.3.4 that installs storage.h under $NEWSHOME/include. Configure is now updated to latest and greatest autoconf/automake. Names of various internal symbols have changed. The mktemp() vz. mkstemp() issue has been looked into. The bug(s) introduced by use of mkstemp() should now be corrected, and a new internal function newstemp() has been added to replace the mk(s)temp. STORAGEAPI and EXTENDEDDBZ no longer relevant for modern INN. -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice/videophone: +47 22523641 Voice: +47 92022780 Fax: +47 22525899 Mail: Egil Kvaleberg, Husebybakken 14A, 0379 Oslo, Norway Home: http://www.kvaleberg.com/ --- This message has been sent to you because you are subcribed to the mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from this lists, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing "unsubscribe newsx " in the message body.
