New slrn maintainer
Hello,
as of today I have taken over the 'slrn'-package from Joost Witteveen.
Before I upload a new version, I have a question relating file-locations.
For making start-up faster, slrn wants to have a newsgroup-description
file locally. It can use a system-wide file for this to save space. To
keep this current, it has to be updated once in a while.
What is a sane location for this file? /var/lib/slrn/newsgroup.dsc ?
Another related Q: would it be OK to put a script in /etc/cron.weekly
that fetches this list? (ofcourse the machine has to be connected to the
net then).
Sincerely yours,
Maarten
