Great! I'm glad to hear this. 2.0 was frighteningly buggy, and I
haven't been bold enough to try 2.1

You're speaking of CNFS here, right?

: file format is different too (dbz 6 instead of dbz 3). And the inn-dev

Is this also the case if I recompile INN 1.7.2 and enable perl support?
I'm interested in recompiling 1.7.2 for a few reasons, namely cleanfeed
and the insync patches. How you managed to do such an excellent job
packaging INN in the forst place is beyond me - it's a complete cluster
from what I can see.
I'm not a developer and I don't have a good handle on the contents of
the ./debian directory, so it's pretty unclear to me how I will be able
to recompile this and end up with a deb (I'm pretty sure that won't
happen the way I have it now). My main concern is actived (from the
insync patches) - I need to tell dpkg about that somewhere and add
install rules, right?
Having just read that last paragraph, I sound like an idiot :) I guess
it's time to knuckel down and RTFM, perhaps install a helper package ...
If anyone else gets bold and beats me to an INN-1.7.2.insync package,
let me know :)
