news/slrn 0.9.9p1 exhibits connection drops to servers — at Version 2

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

I was having difficulty maintaining connections to news.supernews.com with this version of slrn. I noticed there's a new version of slrn (1.0.1) that was released 12/2012. I tried that, and it seems to work fine. I think just refreshing the port might do the trick.

Example:

Run slrn and try to subscribe to comp.text.tex. Try to download all the current articles. It works for awhile and then:

slrn fatal error:
Server connection to news.supernews.com lost.  Cannot recover.

Hm, the livecheck for this port seems to be broken:

port livecheck slrn
slrn seems to have been updated (port version: 0.9.9p1, new version: 0.9.8.1)

(It should be reporting 1.0.1 for the new version, not 0.9.8.1)
