ignore the "bindaddress" keyword in "inn.conf". Fix based on a patch
supplied by Bob in PR pkg/26164.

not to work. This was correct in INN 2.3.x but changed for some reason
in INN 2.4.x which broke "rnews".
|
|
- builtin IPv6 support
- new configuration parser
- completely rewriten "send-uucp" which replaces "sendbatch"

Install header files for other packages (in particular, newsx).

- Clients using POST are no longer permitted to provide an Injector-Info
header.
- Fixed a bug causing posts with Followup-To set to a moderated group to
be rejected if the posting user didn't have permission to approve
postings.
- Fixed bugs in inncheck with setuid rnews or setgid inews, in
innconfval with inn.conf parameters containing shell metacharacters
but no spaces, and in parsedate.y with some versions of yacc. Fixed a
variety of size-related printf format warnings (e.g., %d vs. %ld)
thanks to the work of Winfried Szukalski.
While INN 2.3.5 is not the latest officially released version it is the
latest one for which an IPv6 patch is available.

- pgpverify now supports using GnuPG to check signatures (rather than
PGP) without the pgpgpg wrapper. GnuPG can check both old-style RSA
signatures and new OpenPGP signatures and is recommended over PGP 2.6.
If you have GnuPG installed, pgpverify will use it rather than PGP,
which means that you may have to create a new key ring for GnuPG to
use to verify signatures if you were previously using PGP.
- An item that was noted in NEWS below but was inadvertently left out of
nnrpd has actually been added this time: users can no longer post
articles containing Approved: headers to moderated groups by default;
they must be specifically given that permission with the access:
parameter in readers.conf. See the man page for more details.
- Two bugs in repacking overview index files and a reliability bug with
writing overview data were all fixed in the tradindexed overview
method, hopefully making it somewhat more reliable, particularly for
makehistory.
- If rc.news.local exists in the INN binary directory, it will be run
with the start or stop argument whenever rc.news is run. This is
available as a hook for local startup and shutdown code.
- The default history table hash sizes were increased because a
too-small value can cause serious performance problems (whereas a
too-large hash just wastes a bit of disk space).
- The sample control.ctl file has been extensively updated.
- Wildmat exclusions (@ and !) should now work properly in storage.conf
newsgroup patterns.
- The implementation of the -w flag for expireover was fixed;
previously, the value given to -w to change expireover's notion of the
current time was scaled by too much.
- Various other more minor bug fixes, standards compliance fixes, and
documentation improvements.

- innxmit can again handle regular filenames as input as well as storage
API tokens (allowing it to be used to import an old traditional
spool).
- Several problems with tagged-hash history files have been fixed thanks
to the debugging efforts of Andrew Gierth and Sang-yong Suh.
- A very long-standing (since INN 1.0!) NNTP protocol bug in nnrpd was
fixed. The response to an ARTICLE command retrieving a message by
message ID should have the message ID as the third word of the
response, not the fourth. Fixing this is reported to *possibly* cause
problems with some Netscape browsers, but other news servers correctly
follow the protocol.
- Some serious performance problems with expiration of tradspool should
now be at least somewhat alleviated. tradspool and timehash now know
how to output file names for removal rather than tokens, and fastrm's
ability to remove regular files has been restored. This should bring
expiration times for tradspool back to within a factor of two of
pre-storage-API expiration times.
- An item that was actually changed in 2.3.0 but wasn't noted in NEWS
when it should have been: Users can no longer post articles
containing Approved: headers to moderated groups by default; they must
be specifically given that permission with the access: parameter in
readers.conf. See the man page for more details.
- Added a sample subscriptions file and documentation for it and
innmail.
The changes required for this update were contributed by Bernd Ernesti
in PR pkg/13299.

INN 2.3.0 represents a significant architectural change to INN, with a
completely new internal overview interface, three new overview mechanisms,
two new article storage mechanisms, and the elimination of quite a few old
interfaces and old code.
The NetBSD package furthermore includes IPv6 support and a new style
startup script with backwards compatibility.

Changes:
- INN no longer installs inews setgid news or rnews setuid root by
default. If you need the old behavior, --enable-uucp-rnews or
--enable-setgid-inews must be given to configure. See INSTALL
for more information.
- A security hole when verifycancels is turned on in inn.conf (not
the default) was fixed.
- Message IDs are now limited to 250 octets to prevent
interoperability problems with other servers.
- Various other security paranoia fixes have been made.
- Embedded Perl filters fixed to work with Perl 5.6.0.
- Lots of bug fixes.

Added hack to post-build since the package's libtool recognizes more
switches for the install program than the default libtool.
|
|
|
|
- Various minor bug fixes and a y2k bug fix. The y2k bug is in version
version 2.2.1 only and will show up after Jan 1st when a news reader
issues a NEWNEWS command for a date prior to the year 2000.
- Various bug fixes. Most importantly, bug fixes to potential
security holes (buffer overflow type).

can be convinced to use NetBSD's "yacc" instead. Patch supplied by
David Rankin in PR pkg/8516.

"${PREFIX}/bin" it gets installed to "${PREFIX}/inn" now. Only the
manual pages and the configuration file examples remain at the old
location.

linked to "${LOCALBASE}/bin". Fixes PR pkg/8110 by Wolfgang Rupprecht.

"pkg_add" worked fine.

possible security problem while execute permission for "rnews" for
everyone is not. So install "rnews" with mode 4555 instead of 4550.
