>Description:
This is a package for INN version 1.7.2 with Insync 1.1d
patches. While INN 2.x is the latest and greatest, it has
added considerable bloat that is either unnecessary for a
small (leaf) site, or even gets in the way, and overall
appears to be less stable.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install INN 2.3, fight with it, then sit back and remember how
in ancient times things were simpler.
>Fix:
Get package from
ftp://la.causeuse.org/pub/macbsd/inn-1.7.2.insync-1.1d-pkg.tar.gz
and install.
From 2.x the package adds the rc.news script to make 1.7.2
stoppable in a proper way, and the 'mailpost' script (slightly
patched) for setting up a mail2news gateway.
This is my first package submission. ;)
