Hi,
in order to improve the leafnode package (see pkg/13830),
I have some questions:
- Remembering some emails on tech-pkg, I will undo the patch
which modifies /etc/leafnode to ${PREFIX}/etc/leafnode.
Is /etc/leafnode the desired location for the configuration
files?
- How can I put /etc/leafnode/config.example into the PLIST?
(I think that this file should be uninstalled. The "real"
config file shouldn't.)
- The package will not delete the spool directory during
pkg_delete but instead display a message indicating that
the contents of /var/spool/news can be removed manually.
Is this acceptable?
- With which uid/gid should the news server run? At the
moment, it runs as news:news. Should it be uucp:daemon,
news:daemon, or something like that?
Regards
Ingolf
