The actualy posting often hangs and I have to abort and choose Repost at the prompt. It is then processed quickly, without hanging. I get the feeling that there is some network connection that has timed out (while I was writing the article?), and which isn't properly renewed until the repost (retry) is done. That's a wild guess. I have never used slrn before, or with another news server.

(I do know about Gmane. Unfortunately, it's not the answer to everything, e.g. closed company-internal emails. ;) The basic structure (one file per message) is similar to the one used by slrnpull, so I thought it shouldn't be too far out of reach. So I copied a maildir into my `spool_root`, and while it shows up in the group listing (as three groups, due to the cur, new, and tmp subfolders, but never mind that for now), I cannot enter the group , since slrn tells me "No unread articles" (even when I give a prefix argument). It turns out, the filenames used by the MTA are the reason (they look like this: "1238693874_1.1813.elzar,U=15,FMD5=e42be6580d0096a1aff2feecb8227077:2,S"). When I rename them to be just numbers (by cutting off everything after the first dot and removing the _), slrn enters the group without issue for the first time, but hangs (with 100% CPU</pre> Wolfgang Schnerring 2013-02-13T18:29:14 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.slrn.user/2889 <pre>Hello, while packaging slrn-1.0.1 for Fedora, I discovered various files quotas postal Free Software Foundation address which is not valid any more.

Detailed information about the newsreader is available from &lt;http://www.slrn.org&gt;. The slrn source code may be obtained from &lt;http://www.jedsoft.org/slrn/download/&gt; &lt;http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7768&gt; While not as big of an event as the ending of the Mayan calendar or the Winter solstice, today marks a major event for the slrn project. As many of you know, this release is long overdue. But the main reason that I wanted to put out 1.0 is that I still see a number of people using older, less reliable versions of the newsreader. As such I encourage all slrn users to upgrade to the new version so that we can be on the same page. The newsreader would not have become what it has without the support of those that have helped in one way or another with the project. While some them may no longer be active on Usenet, I would like to take the opportunity to publically acknowledge a small fraction of them</pre> John E. Davis 2012-12-21T23:16:00 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.slrn.user/2884 <pre>Hi everybody, first of all a big thank you to John Davis for all his work on slrn. It's really wonderful. When I sort messages by thread, there is a number which is the number of messages in the thread if that is 2 or more (otherwise the number is suppressed). Is there a way to change that to (number of messages) minus 1 ? I'd like the number to represent the number of followups, so the number displayed would be 1 for 1 followup instead of 2. Not a big deal, but thanks for any advice. best, Robert Dodier ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.

Rather, the issue is network latency and slrn's consuming the response to each XOVER command before sending out the next one. RFC 3977 explicitly allows command pipelining in NNTP so I was wondering if that could help speed things up. And indeed it does. I hacked up a little proof-of-concept patch and found that slrn can now open all my groups within less than a second, which is at least a 10-fold improvement. The basic idea is initially to prepare a buffer containing all the desired XOVER commands and extend the select() loop in wait_for_input() so it will asynchronously send out the buffer's contents along with the processing of the replies. The patch is just a quick hack, it has basically no error handling and it breaks a lot of things (including SSL), but it should help illustrate the basic idea. I hope I'll h</pre> Jan Andres 2012-07-29T20:59:19 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.slrn.user/2873 <pre>Hi folks.

By scoring the references line of the threads original post, I can make sure that article bodies of all new posts to the thread are downloaded. So far so good, all the threads' article bodies are present in a tree view. But there is no way to set apart the ones I've already read from the newer ones unless I mark them read and then have to enter the group showing all the groups' read articles, not just  the ones from the thread I'm interested in.

(http://sourceforge.net/projects/slrn/#) Mouse over "Code" on the list of items (Summary, Files, Reviews, etc) shows CVS and SVN, and the links work. However it appears that those are out of date, and that Git has the up-to-date stuff. Can you please somehow hide, disable, or remove the links to CVS and SVN, since they can only cause trouble. Thank you for your attention to this issue, I appreciate it.
