WNPP pages are now over one month out of date.
Hey everyone, I just remembered that the WNPP www pages [1] have been stale for one month and one day now. Their last update was on November 9, and no one has yet looked into bug #171393: WNPP pages are severely out of date. Update mechanism broken? which I also filed. Anyone know what the current situation is?

Anyone know what the current situation is? I had a quick look at wml_run.log, and there were a few complaints about very badly formatted wnpp bug titles. I've fixed those, so maybe that will improve matters. Looking at the code, wnpp.pl is supposed to avoid printing those messages to stderr when the host is klecker.debian.org, but this fails for some reason. Assuming my fix solves it, somebody needs to look into that to stop it happening in future. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Because $host is not initialized. I wonder where it should come from. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It must have gone down the drain when I removed another chunk of code that relied on the hostname without any need. I don't recall the particular reason why those messages weren't printed when ran on klecker, though. Probably for exactly this purpose, to avoid breaking the build. I don't recall seeing that code, which is odd... I wouldn't have removed the hostname stuff if I had noticed that it was used elsewhere. -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.
