    I can't ever recall patches being announced here. Certainly not
    recently.

    Me neither.
    But it appears that the cronjob that posts announcements to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce has fallen over again.

    Oops. I misspoke. You're right: it was (cubf).announce,
    not (cubf).misc, where I didn't see the announcements we
    usually get.

    Oops.

    Looks like it broke a while ago. Since folks are apparently still
    interested, I'll go pick up the pieces again. Sorry about that.

    Usenet is not very high on the list of things I actively monitor
    these days... Kind of nice that people still care though. :)

    Should be fixed. Feel free to prod me if it breaks again.

    Yay: the security and errata announcements, and the quarterly summary,
    have now appeared in .announce on the news server I use. Thanks!

    Glad to hear it's working. The script itself has been fairly reliable
    over the years. I just need to remember that it exists when I move some
    email things around. :)
