| Summary: Sends Usenet articles to a local news server for distribution. | |
The inews program is used by some news programs (for example, inn and trn) to post Usenet news articles to local news servers. Inews reads an article from a file or standard input, adds headers, performs some consistency checks and then sends the article to the local news server specified in the inn.conf file. Install inews if you need a program for posting Usenet articles to local news servers.

* Mon Mar 10 1997 Christian 'Dr. Disk' Hechelmann <drdisk@ds9.au.s.shuttle.de>
- changed devel package description to include tin.
- the devel package missed libinn.h
- moved libinn.3 man-page to the devel package
- moved changelog up
- in %post some echo statements were messed up. if we put the redirection
staements in a different line than the echo command we really should use
a backslash to thell the shell :-)
- in %install a chmod line referenced the same directory twice.
- changed inn-1.5.1-redhat.patch: The patch for news.daily had a side effect.
as EXPIREOVERFLAGS was set to '-a', expireover would break if there were
articles to be removed, as '-a' can't be used if '-z' is specified...
Now there is a separate 'eval expireover -a' after the first eval. Dirty
but works.

complained about.

some paths and restored the cron jobs which disappeared in the 1.5.1
