Sorry, I did email you about this. Two SCO XENIX people, Steph Marr and Keith
Reynolds, are now semi-officially working on the XENIX port; I figured I'd
send you a version known to work under it. They're busy right now pre-USENIX,
but have said they do (what should be) the final test cycle after.

>  How about a status report?

I just posted a short one, but here goes again.

I think I'm ready for release, and am just polishing at this point (things
like adding multi-user interlocking and shareable format to the history
database handling routines, and improving the organization of the library
code a bit).

But I'm waiting on the NNTP and NFS support changes Erik Fair and Mel Pleasant
have been promising. I'm not going to wait much longer, this thing has slipped
too long as it is. Time for another round of trying to get people to move
faster.

I guess I have to set myself a deadline. I'll ship what I have August 1st.
If that's missing NNTP/NFS code, that'll just have to do; it can be a patch.

I've talked with Eric about this, but maybe it's time to get the net
involved.  IT'S SUICIDE TO RELEASE A MAJOR NETNEWS RELEASE WITHOUT SERIOUS
TESTING!

Last I talked with him, News 3.0 was running on about 5 machines, TOTAL.
It's only running in production on ONE -- snark, Eric's machine.

It needs to go through alpha and a beta tests with say 10 sites using it
in production in alpha, and 50 in beta.  I'd recommend having a couple
of backbone sites in the alpha test, and upgrading most of the rest
of the backbone toward the end of the beta test.  After it has burned-in
for a month or so, and it really works and really ports and has true blue
easy to read installation instructions, THEN is the time to post it.
Not August first.  But when it works.

The time to start the alpha testing is now, not when NNTP and NFS code
shows up.  There are plenty of bugs waiting to be found on non-ethernetted
sites.

We could use a serious volunteer as alpha and beta test coordinator.
This will burn a couple months of your time.  The job is a smooth transition
on 8000 sites to a major new network software release.  Any takers?

If John's numbers are even close to correct, then I am in 100%
agreement with his recommendations.  I will not install (or even
recommend) any software that hasn't gone through some kind of shakedown
testing, no matter who (or what!) writes it.

The machines on the net represent dozens of Unix variants and dozens of
machine types.  The release needs to be tested and confirmed on a large
subset of those combinations.  If the software is released without test
and contains flaws, then after it breaks enough time it will get such a
bad reputation no one will ever want to try it again.

Do some proper testing, Eric.  Find at least one each Alpha test
involving: a BSD site, a System V.3 site, a System III site (?), a
SunOS site, an Ultrix site, a Xenix site, an HP-UX site, a Vax site, a
Pyramid site, a Sun 4 site, a 3B2 site, and a Sequent site.  Then go
into Beta test with at least 20 or 30 sites, perhaps an open Beta
test.

Gene Spafford recently posted an article urging me to coordinate an open
beta test of News 3.0 before release. I am quite willing to do this; the
software has already run successfully on enough different systems (including
680x0, Pyramid, and VAX processors under System V and 4.[23]BSD and under
XENIX and Microport UNIX on [23]86 boxes) that I feel very confident of its
stability and portability (it doesn't hurt that the *entire* suite lints
clean).

Volunteers for this round so far include:

hoptoad	68020	SunOS 3.2	John Gilmore (gnu)

u1100a	68010	SVr2		Eric Krohn (krohn)
csccat	HP9000	HP-UX 5.22	Jack Hudler (jack)

As you can see, we're short of BSD sites (could it be that *gasp* AT&T really
*is* the standard ;-)?). Somebody with a VAX running good old crufty 4.2 wanna
volunteer? The SCO people are going to test on a 286; I'd also love to recruit
NS32032, SPARC and a couple of RISC sites.

The following is a list of old beta sites that I haven't heard from in a while.

Are you guys still alive? Do you want to get active again?

CAVEAT: I am *still* missing vetted NNTP/NFS support. If your site depends
on this, best sit this round out.

To play, you must establish a login at my machine and be willing to poll me.
I will queue full sources for uucp on request and issue periodic bulletins
and patches to everyone who's formally on the beta list.

I can be reached most of the time at my home phone (given below). Feel free
to e-mail or call me with any questions.

What is good and new in news 3.0? Do we need it?
There is already a new news program: C-news that can be used
to replace news 2.11 with.
We have used the alpha-release of C-news for half a year and it works ok.
Is there anything in news 3.0 that is better than C-news?
Are we going to have two versions of news in the world after news 2.11?

We've had multiple versions of news in the world for a long time.  The

43 sites are now participating in the beta. We have lots of Suns, 80386
boxes and VAXen, a sufficiency of 3B1s and other random 680xx machines,
enough 80286es, and a couple of WE320xx machines. Conventional UNIX boxen
are, at this point, quite well represented.

Then we come to the oddballs. An Amdahl, a couple of Pyramids, a MIPS machine,
an HP9000 and even a UNIVAC (excuuuse me, that's `UniSys') 1100. For beta-ing
purposes, I love those weird machines -- and I'd like to see more of them.

So bring on your ones-complement machines, your multiprocessor boxes, your
vectorizing supercomputers, and your crufty ancient mainframes. The more
bizarre your machine is the better I'll like it (you still need to be a UNIX
site, though; I'd like to port to VMS and OS/2 but those could take a while).

So far, things have gone pretty smoothly. The most serious problems reported
have been glitches in the Configure script due to nonportable shell constructs
introduced during alpha test (not by me, I might add!). Several sites have
reported complete configuration and compilation of the software and have
started on the port validation procedure, a series of tests designed to show
that the various layers and pieces of the news software function up to spec.

Fixes for reported problems with beta level 0 have just been sent out as beta 
patch 1. Said patch also includes some optimizations that cut news processing
costs significantly for sites that are leaf or twig nodes.

Returns from live testing, with real feeds from 2.11 and older sites, should
start coming in by early next week.
