LEAFNODE_DATA_DIR, LEAFNODE_USER and LEAFNODE_GROUP, to be used by leafnode
to specify the data dir, the user and the group, defaulting to 'news'.
Note: the default is the same as for inn.

* nntpd will now disable ln_log()'s sending its logging to the
console (stderr usually), to prevent them from being seen by the
newsreader, which then gets confused.
* Usage fixes and usage info update
* Fix memory leaks
* Other bug fixes
For a full listing, please see the ChangeLog supplied with the source
code.
the RCD_SCRIPTS rc.d script(s) to the PLIST.
This GENERATE_PLIST idea is part of Greg A. Woods'
PR #22954.
This helps when the RC_SCRIPTS are installed to
a different ${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}. (Later,
the default RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR will be changed
to be more clear that they are the examples.)
These patches also remove the etc/rc.d/ scripts from PLISTs
(of packages that use RCD_SCRIPTS). (This also removes
now unused references from openssh* makefiles. Note that
qmail package has not been changed yet.)
I have been doing automatic PLIST registration for RC_SCRIPTS
for over a year. Not all of these packages have been tested,
but many have been tested and used.
Somethings maybe to do:
- a few packages still manually install the rc.d scripts to
hard-coded etc/rc.d. These need to be fixed.
- maybe remove from mk/${OPSYS}.pkg.dist mtree specifications too.
doesn't crash on common configuration. Fixes PR 24982 by Gary Duzan.
Also, silently try to delete the configuration directory not to wipe the
user's configuration when updating the package.
Finally, mark this package as NetBSD and SunOS only, since it will fail
on other platforms by lack of default configuration.
Bump PKGREVISION.
Patch newsx's configure so that history method auto-detection can be
bypassed, which allows build on system with unconfigured inn (such as
for bulk-builds).
Bump PKGREVISION because now newsx always use indexed method.
* Adding conf-parameter NiceServer, NiceClient, NiceClean
with the setpriority function
* Adding conf-parameter ListenTo for multihomed hosts
* Performance for big NewsCache Spools: change NewsCacheClean
from chain to table
and lots of bugfixes.
Pkgsrc changes since previous version:
* Add the news user if necessary (and be compatible with the INN package).
* Use bsd.pkg.install.mk.
Vendor changes since previous version:
(see the Changelog for more details)
* Security fix. Do not lock up when the news header ends prematurely.
* Revise some memory handling and catch out-of-memory conditions.
* Fixes to syslog handling.
* Support XOVER without argument.
* Fix SEGV in fetchnews.c.
Newsx is an NNTP client for Unix. It will connect to a remote NNTP server and
post outgoing articles batched by the news system, as well as fetch incoming
articles.
It provides the NNTP capabilities required for small local news spools on
installations with NNTP access only through limited ISP accounts. It works well
via a dialup SLIP/PPP connection.
Newsx is also well suited for large spools with normal feeds, being used for
pulling newsgroups from specific NNTP servers that are not distributed in the
usual manner. Since newsx obeys the normal news spool configuration file and
requires little or no specific configuration, the administrative burden should
be minimized.
