230 reasonable automation across the upgrade from pre-2.3.0 to 2.3.0, and some
231 manual actions will likely be required.
232 * as of 2.3.0, innshellvars now codes 'compress' as the path for the compress
233 program instead of an ugly token reporting that compress wasn't found if
234 there is no compress available at build time. This will work if the
235 non-free 'ncompress' package is installed. Since some news sites still
236 don't use gzip for uucp batches, this is probably the right default. Note
237 added to the README.Debian file.

460 good alternative, the fact that INN is slow while renumbering is
461 a basic design flaw. (Though the abp-scheduler patch might help)
