correct paths to use tcl from the ports collection if tcl support is wanted as requested by Satoshi, I hope the port maintainer agrees here.0416ae8e3a
Add some comments for compiling the port under -current in Makefile Add two commented out changes to scripts/configure, that easily can be activated, to compile inn on a -current system, which doesn't have TCL in the base OS for ports backward compatibility.525f46b32a
- upgrade to 1.7.2 - install $PREFIX/etc/rc.d/innd.sh (start and stop) - change group of $PREFIX/bin/rnews from uucp to dialer to work around a problem when using inn with uucp (rnews is not world-executable to prevent injection of faked articles) - don't install binaries in $PREFIX/etc - use /var/{spool,}/news/tmp instead of /var/tmp for rnews, otherwise rename will fail3af1206c91Upgrade to 1.5.1sec2d2277adf70

Oh my goodness! Satoshi is finally fed up and decided to "clean up" all the COMMENTs! No package names, no version numbers, no "this is absolutix-3.1.2" type comments that have zero information contents. Now, without any bad examples to follow, nobody has an excuse to import a port with those kind of comments. :) Phew! 238 ports modified!95137d2010

Fix these bugs. - The expiration processing fails when attempting to store a long message-id in the new DBZ database. If left uncorrected, a disk full condition is likely to occur. - When innxmit (on the master) encounters a news article that is cross-posted to LOTS of other newsgroups it segmentation faults.

Compress manpages for distrib.pats.5 passwd.nntp.5 too. This solves the packaging problem.c3ef9a1872
Fix the post-install target (gzipping manpages). inews.1 was missing the ".1" suffix and something apperaed twice. It still doesn't package though (distrib.pats.5.gz and passwd.nntp.5.gz are missing).a580214845
