This patch from Andrew Gierth adds the capability to feed articles accepted and filed in junk (due to wanttrash) to peers based on their feed patterns (applied to the Newsgroups header as if the article were accepted and all those groups were carried). This is required if you want to run INN with a minimal active file and propagate all posts.

In getopts.pl, we can read:

# This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.

Moreover, it causes problems like:

% innmail -h

• Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/getopts.pl line 26.

getopts.pl:

    if($pos >= $[) {
        if($args[$pos+1] eq ':') {   ### <--- Line 26
            shift(@ARGV);

% innmail -s "test" mail-address

• Use of uninitialized value in string eq at (eval 139) line 3.

We should use Getopt::Std instead of getopts.pl.

auth_krb5 needs to be ported to the modern function calls to get the Kerberos error instead of using com_err, which will eliminate the need for including com_err.h or et/com_err.h which are no longer part of the official Kerberos API. This requires a replacement for krb5_{get,free}_error_message on older systems. rra-c-util does this in portable/krb5.h and portable/krb5-extra.c (along with a ton of other Kerberos portability stuff). It would be possible to add a subset of that logic, although it will require some surgery to fit into the INN compilation framework.

INN's configure will then no longer have to clear KRB5_LIBS if neither et/com_err.h nor com_err.h could be found and --with-krb5 was not given.
