Summary: wine mailing-list <-> usenet gateway non-functional? Product: WineHQ.com Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: misc-web AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: hoehle@users.sourceforge.net
Hi,
I believe the gateway between usenet:comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine <-> wine-users mailing list is subtly broken.
http://www.winehq.com/site/forums says: "This newsgroup is connected to the Wine-Users mailing list". Yet messages appear in one or the other.
An example: the thread "suse 10.1 amd64 wine 9.19 dont create .wine" appears in Google (5 messages) http://groups.google.com/group/comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine/browse_thread/... as well as my local newsserver (4 messages), but there's nothing like this in the archives: http://www.winehq.com/pipermail/wine-users/2006-August/thread.html
OTOH, the thread "bug 4794: Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds & Wine 0.9.19" is in the August archives, but nothing in Google nor at my site.
The message "PTgui.exe runs fine on one Kubuntu 6.0.6 pc but not on another" appears once in the September archives, but there's a thread with 5 messages in Usenet. Actually, it looks like the initial message was posted independently to the list (by Harry vad der Wolf) and to usenet (surfer63 pseudonym, but same content).
There are many other cases like these. I just choose them randomly.
I'd very much appreciate a functional gateway. I tend to prefer newsgroups for asking help here and there because they don't require me going to a subscribe / confirm (+ unsubscribe some time later) cycle.
