sage-* lists on news.gmane.org?

[Simon King]

Hi!

Since quite some time I prefer to read the sage mailing lists (-devel, -support, -release etc) using slrn, but since a couple of days I get a Run-Time Error stating that the server news.gmane.org couldn't be resolved.

Is that a permanent problem?

Best regards,
Simon

From here on the left coast of the USA, I can resolve the name and get “ping” responses. Using it in a browser works well enough to get a “page not found” response from gmane.org.

Thanks for testing. Apparently it has been a temporary problem:
news.gmane.org is up again, and I am writing these lines with slrn.
