Description

The 2.16.1 version contains a bug where the backticked shell-commands are evaluated *even in comments*. Since the example configuration contains multiple backticked values in it's comments (including several instances of `yes`, which will evaluate to infinite string), the newsboat crashes/hangs while trying to evaluate them. See the linked PR for upstream bug report; once it is accepted, I will backport it to the Fedora package (or update to patched upstream version, whichever will be faster). In the mean time, you can work around the issue by removing any non-intentional backticked values from the newsboat configuration. Thanks for the report! Well that explains why I was seeing "yes" in the process list. Good find, thanks so much! The newsboat-2.16.1-2 package is now built for Rawhide, and the module build is in progress. FEDORA-MODULAR-2019-4639a4ce6e has been submitted as an update to Fedora 30 Modular. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-MODULAR-2019-4639a4ce6e newsboat-latest-3020190722112326.a23e773d has been pushed to the Fedora 30 Modular testing repository.
