#37811: news/slrn 0.9.9p1 exhibits connection drops to servers ----------------------------+-------------------- Reporter: clint.olsen@… | Owner: olaf@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: slrn | ----------------------------+-------------------- Comment (by olaf@…): Replying to [ticket:37811 clint.olsen@…]:
I was having difficulty maintaining connections to news.supernews.com with this version of slrn. I noticed there's a new version of slrn (1.0.1) that was released 12/2012. I tried that, and it seems to work fine. I think just refreshing the port might do the trick.
Example:
Run slrn and try to subscribe to comp.text.tex. Try to download all the current articles. It works for awhile and then:
{{{ slrn fatal error: Server connection to news.supernews.com lost. Cannot recover. }}}
I've added a changed portfile for the new version. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37811#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
