Re: default components file

2003-07-01 Thread Glenn Burkhardt
Ok, I've committed changes to components, forwcomps, distcomps, replcomps, replgroupcomps, based on the discussion. Only repl.man needed to be changed; the other man pages dynamically pull in the current default template file when the man page is built by 'make'.

pick argument order

2003-06-30 Thread Glenn Burkhardt
While trolling for patches, I was pointed to a problem reported by Robert Elz last October. The order of the arguments -list and -seq matters, as mentioned in the man page. In other words, pick -list -seq x and pick -seq x -list do not do the same thing. -seq implicitly means

patches for Solaris 8 and Mandrake 9.1

Attached is a patch for the problems I found with Solaris 8 and Mandrake 9.1 I've been trying to get a GNU Savannah login, but it looks like they are down tonight. It turns out that there are two database packages available with the Mandrake distribution that support 'ndbm' calls: db1 (derived

Are you still sheparding this project? I remembered to look at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/nmh I noticed that there are outstanding bugs - I haven't had a chance to look at the reports. Do you need help with them?

Solaris 8 build

2003-06-03 Thread Glenn Burkhardt
The makefile in the 'man' directory works with GNU make, but not Sun make (/usr/ccs/bin/make). What's the preferred solution here? Require GNU make? If so, shouldn't the configure script check for its presence, and set execution paths accordingly?

Solaris 'vim' configure bug

2003-06-03 Thread Glenn Burkhardt
If vim 6.0 is installed on a Solaris system, the 'ex' program included with vim 6.0 goes into an infinite loop when this statement in 'configure' is executed: if echo 'r /nonexist-file q' | ex /dev/null 21 It seems wrong to me to include a newline in the string this way. It could be

Re: Solaris 'vim' configure bug

2003-06-03 Thread Glenn Burkhardt
Sorry, spoke too soon. The real problem has to do with output redirection. if echo 'r /nonexist-file q' | ex works but if echo 'r /nonexist-file q' | ex /dev/null 21 hangs. Redirecting just standard output cause no problem. But there doesn't seem any output to redirect anyway...

I can help get a next release out. At the very least, I can help with testing, since I use nmh with my mail client.

Please could we have nmh 1.0.5??

Re: nmh 1.0.4 doesn't work as POP client on LInux systems

2000-04-24 Thread Glenn Burkhardt
My solution was to completely take out any dependency on system ruserpass, and use the version packaged with nmh. If you want to take advantage of this, I recommend you get the latext CVS version. I think that this is the best solution - it gets my vote!

nmh 1.0.4 doesn't work as POP client on LInux systems

2000-04-22 Thread Glenn Burkhardt
Last November, I submitted a bug report with patches for nmh - it didn't work as a POP client properly on Linux systems. But unfortunately, the patches didn't get into the 1.0.4 release, so here goes again: The Symptom: Unless .netrc is used, on systems using glibc 2.1.1, 'inc' fails to work
