-Some random notes about the Debian INN 2.X package.
-
-If you are upgrading from a previous version, please review the information
-near the top of the NEWS file to learn what has changed, and what you may
-need to do to update your system.
-
-If you plan to use INN at home you should really consider running INN 1.x,
-which you can find in the inn package.
-
-INN 2.X is substantially different in terms of configuration file contents
-and filesystem layout than previous versions. The Debian INN package installs
-a minimal but functional local-only server configuration. Configuring feeds
-to/from other servers, and many other details, is up to you.
-
-You will want to review the information in /usr/share/doc/inn2 to get started
-on configuring the installation for your needs. All of the configuration files
-in /etc/news are flagged as 'conffiles' in the packaging system, so your work
-should not be overwritten without your permission if/when you upgrade the inn
-package in the future. In particular, make sure to update /etc/news/inn.conf
-to put in your organization name and related information before you establish
-any network connections if you don't want to be embarrassed.
-
-Also, if you are moving over from INN 1.X, please note that the directory
-structure under /var/spool/news has changed. At a minimum, you will need to
-move the article database subdirectories from /var/spool/news to
-/var/spool/news/articles. The set of directories that belong in
-/var/spool/news for 2.2.2 and later are:
-
- archive articles incoming innfeed outgoing overview
-
-Anything else is left over from a previous version, and probably should be
-moved or removed.
-
-It has been pointed out that inn2's use of /etc/cron.d/inn2 instead of
-separate files in /etc/cron.daily and so forth poses a problem for users of
-anacron on boxes that are not run continuously. Since the primary target
-for an INN installation is a fully-connected system that might easily need
-a variety of cron entries with different intervals, I don't intend to change
-this default. However, if you're bothered by this, feel free to change the
-cron configuration to suite your needs.
-
-If you want to use pgpverify (and you do if you're getting a real feed!),
-you can use the /usr/lib/news/bin/buildinnkeyring program to download the
-keys for some hierarchies from ftp.isc.org and add them to the gnupg
-keyring used by pgpverify.
-This package does not support the non-free PGP program anymore.
-
-The program 'compress' is not a part of Debian GNU/Linux due to patent issues
-with the algorithm. By default, the innshellvars* files will try to call
-'compress' if you try to transport compressed batches over UUCP. This will
-work if you install the non-free 'ncompress' package. Since it's non-free,
-this might be as unacceptable to you as it is to me! If you know that all of
-your neighbors can handle gzip, a better solution might be to edit the
-innshellvars* files to use '/bin/gzip -9' for the COMPRESS variable. I do not
-intend to change this default to differ from the upstream source.
-
-Log files in /var/log/news need to be owned by user 'news' for the news
-scanlogs tool to be able to rotate them properly.
-
-If you want to use the ckpasswd program you need to install the libgdbm3
-package.
-
-
-SSL
-~~~
-To enable SSL you need to start /usr/lib/news/bin/nnrpd-ssl with the -S
-flag from inetd or the command line.
-See nnrpd(8) and sasl.conf(5) for details.
-
-You need a certificate authority (CA) certificate in
-/etc/news/nnrpd-ca-cert.pem. You will also need a certificate/key pair,
-named /etc/news/nnrpd-cert.pem and /etc/news/nnrpd-key.pem respectively.
-
-If you do not already have a PKI in place, you can create them with a
-command like:
-
-openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -days 1825 \
- -keyout /etc/news/nnrpd-key.pem -out /etc/news/nnrpd-cert.pem
-
-The private key must have the correct permissions:
-
-chown root:news /etc/news/nnrpd-key.pem
-chmod 640 /etc/news/nnrpd-key.pem
-
-
-STARTTLS
-~~~~~~~~
-STARTTLS support will not work when nnrpd is started by innd using
-"MODE READER" unless the nnrpd binary is replaced by nnrpd-ssl (e.g.
-by using dpkg-divert(8)).
-The upstream maintainer recommends running nnrpd as a standalone process.
-
-
-Large Files Support
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-On 32 bit architectures, the inn2-lfs package is built.
-There is no transition procedure, so if you want to convert an existing
-installation (this may or may not be possible depending on your choice
-of storage and overview formats) then you are on your own.
-When attempting such conversion do not forget that the package will
-delete /var/{spool,lib,log}/news/ when removed so they should be renamed.
