System: rn version 4.3
Patch #: 29
Priority: HIGH, if you're running 2.10.3, LOW otherwise
Subject: Xrefs don't work in 2.10.3
From: wan@gatech.UUCP (Peter N. Wan)

Description:
        This patch has already been posted to the net, but I thought I'd
        go ahead and make it official.

        The problem is that rn is ignoring Xref lines because it thinks
        the Xref lines were generated on a different system, due to the
        absence of the Relay-Version header line in news 2.10.3, which
        rn checks against the Xref line to see if it matches.  Got that?

Fix:    Uses the leading component of the Path: line instead to derive the
        system name on which rnews was run.

        From rn, say "| patch -d DIR", where DIR is your rn source directory.
        Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch <thisarticle".  If you don't have
        the patch program, apply the following by hand, or get patch.

        If patch indicates that patchlevel is the wrong version, you may need
        to apply one or more previous patches, or the patch may already
        have been applied.  See the patchlevel file to find out what has or
        has not been applied.  In any event, don't continue with the patch.

        After installing this patch, you'll need to rerun Configure or edit
        config.h (and compile) before Xrefs will work under 2.10.3.
