>It seems to be something about being online ... for example:
This happens if noffle is online and no article or pseudo
exists. It's a SNAFU:
The group will be auto-subscribed after the first article have been
read. But no pseudo will be generated in online mode.
Patching server.c seems to fix it:
static Bool
needsPseudoGenInfo( const char *grp )
{
return ! ( Grp_local( grp )
- || Fetchlist_contains( grp, NULL )
- || Online_true() );
+ || Fetchlist_contains( grp, NULL ) );
}
But I suppose generating pseudo-articles in online mode is a BAD thing.
There's always the possibility of loops of chained servers.
I think there's something wrong with content.c:setupEmpty().

Mirko

But no pseudo will be generated in online mode. If you're in online mode, then the group won't be auto-subscribed. See noteInterest() in server.c. This is also what the docs claim. So Noffle just becomes a caching server a la Newscache. Hence there is no need for a pseudo-message either. The real problem (I think) is with the instructions in INSTALL that tell you to add 'noffle --online' to ip-up and 'noffle --offline' to ip-down. They don't tell you what this does. Furthermore, entering online mode while dialled in isn't necessary and furthermore changes the behaviour of Noffle in a potentially confusing way. I suggest I modify the INSTALL instructions to remove the online mode stuff and redo the README to move the references to online mode into its own section to emphasise the changed behaviour.

That's great. > Comments? Please add a note about another issue: Even in online mode, you can't refetch articles that have been expired or that were posted to newsgroups both unknown and unsubscribed. ARTICLE <msgid> won't be passed to an upstream server if the msgid isn't available at the local site (neither the full article nor just the overview). I can't decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Reconstruction of a thread ( eg via slrn keyboard shortcut 'ESC 1 ESP p') would be much slower if noffle passed a lot of single requests to upstream servers. Friendly regards, Mirko |
