Port Added: unknown
Also Listed In: ipv6


InterNetNews is a complete Usenet system.  The cornerstone of the package
is innd, an NNTP server that multiplexes all I/O. Newsreading is handled
by a separate server, nnrpd, that is spawned for each client.  Both innd
and nnrpd have some slight variances from the NNTP protocol.

Notes from UPDATING
These upgrade notes are taken from /usr/ports/UPDATING
  • 2006-05-28
    Affects: users of news/inn
    Author: shaun@inerd.com
    Reason: 
      The 2.4.3 port of inn has an unfortunate bug which causes inn's database files
      to be erased during an uninstall or upgrade. Earlier versions are also
      affected. The latest port revision fixes this, but before upgrading, users are
      advised to move their ${PREFIX}/news/db directory out of the way, in order to
      save the history, active and newsgroups databases from destruction.

Set USE_PERL5/WANT_PERL as appropriate, for ports that either depend on
perl unconditonally, or conditionally.  To be able to conditionalize the
inclusion of bsd.perl.mk, they now need to be defined before the inclusion
of bsd.port.pre.mk.

- Set --mandir and --infodir in CONFIGURE_ARGS if the configure script
  supports them.  This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
  do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
  which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
  Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
  PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
  subdirectory detection.

Overhaul for the inn ports:

- Turn inn-stable and inn-current into slaves, as they are pretty much
  clones of news/inn.
- Update the above ports to recent snapshots.
- Allow inn's database and spool directories to be placed outside
  PREFIX (e.g. under /var).
- Add OPTIONS knobs.
