NNTPSwitch is a NNTP content router. It's aimed at high-performance
news servers for ISPs and Usenet resellers. NNTPSwitch forwards client
connections to multiple backend servers to get its actual articles.
Depending on the backend server type, all NNTP commands and extensions
are supported, including (remote) authorization. Accounting is supported
in a user-friendly matter for data limited NNTP connections.

Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".
For ports-in-waiting:
USE_LIBTOOL=YES -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=YES -> USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=YES -> USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14
Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.
sn a small news system for small sites serving perhaps a few
dozen newsgroups, and with a slow connection to the internet.
It is similar to Leafnode. The target user is a home or SOHO
with a single modem connection to the Internet, maybe running
IP masq or similar, and serving a few workstations.

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.
This ports is the developpement version, DON'T USE IT OR TRY TO USE IT
ON A PRODUCTION SERVER.
- make the port ${PREFIX}-safe
- use ${DATADIR}
- instead of installing docs to ${DATADIR}, respect NOPORTDOCS and intall
to ${DOCSDIR}
- take maintainership
### SECURITY BUGFIX ###
- Fetchnews: when a. minlines=0 (default) and b. delaybody=0 (default) and
either c. no filterfile is configured (default) or a. and b. and d.
article_despite_filter=1 are configured, an article with missing mandatory
headers and without body can hang fetchnews and/or prevent the fetch of
further articles from the current group or server.
Reported by Toni Viemerö, SourceForge bug 873149.
This was a denial-of-service bug, not one that could lead to local or remote
privilege escalation.

- Drop IPv6 category since only some parts are IPv6 capable, not
the entire package. This is to prevent any false hopes of full

instead.

- Update to 1.9.45, lots of bugfixes, too many to list here,
see http://mandree.home.pages.de/leafnode/NEWS
- Install German manual pages into standard location so that man(1) can find
them. (MANLANG and all that, along the lines used in security/nmap)
- Fix up NOPORTDOCS mode so it actually works
- Fix pkg-message to not contain the same text twice
While I'm here [2]:
- simplify/shorten post-install target a bit by using few new variables
and unrolling loops
- rename ${PREFIX}/share/doc/leafnode/doc_german to just .../german.
I think extra "doc_" there is unnecessary
- s/ECHO/ECHO_MSG/
- whitespace changes to shorten line lengths in Makefile
