The leafnode package introduced new or modified debconf templates. This is the perfect moment for a review to help the package maintainer following the general suggested writing style and track down typos and errors in the use of English language. If someone wants to pick up this review, please answer to this mail, in the mailing list, with an [ITR] (Intent To Review) label. The templates file is attached. To propose the file you reviewed for peer review, please send a [RFR] (Request For Review) mail with the reviewed file attached...then a few days later, when no more contributions come, a summary mail with a [LCFC] (Last Chance For Comments) label. Finally, after no more comments coming to the LCFC mail, you can send the reviewed templates file as a bug report against the package. Then, please notify the list with a last mail using a [BTS] label with the bug number. Helping the package maintainer to deal with induced translation updates at that moment will be nice. If you're not comfortable with that part of the process, please hand it off to a translator. --
Template: leafnode/server Type: string _Default: news _Description: Server to download news from: Whoever is providing you with internet access should provide information about which server to use to download news. Typically this server is called something like "news.domain" or "nntp.domain". Template: leafnode/tcpd Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Enable access controls for Leafnode? If you do not enable some access controls for leafnode, people everywhere will be able to use your news server for things like posting spam or accessing huge binary newsgroups. People actively scan the net for open news servers. . If you do enable access controls, this will prevent any computers except localhost from accessing your news server. You can modify /etc/hosts.allow later to broaden the access controls if necessary. Template: leafnode/network Type: select _Choices: PPP, permanent, none Default: PPP _Description: What type of network connection do you have? The Leafnode package can automatically download new news for you. When this should be done depends on your network connection. The scripts provided with the package support two kinds of network connection: a permanent one and one provided by PPP. When set up for PPP the package will download news every time a PPP connection is established. With a permanent connection news will be downloaded every hour. Either option will work if you are using diald to manage a PPP connection. . You can also select "none", which will disable automatic downloads. News can be downloaded manually by running fetchnews. Template: leafnode/update-groups Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Do you wish to update the list of available groups? Leafnode keeps the list of available newsgroups up to date when it checks for new news. Until it has done so it will not offer any newsgroups to clients. . If you choose to update the list of groups during package set up then newsgroups will be available to clients as soon as Leafnode has been set up. Template: leafnode/purge Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Should /var/spool/news and all its contents be removed? /var/spool/news holds the database of news articles downloaded by Leafnode. Many other news servers also use this directory to store their news database - if you have replaced Leafnode with another server it is very likely that you do not want to do this.

Description: NNTP server for small leaf sites
Leafnode is a news server suitable for small, limited-bandwidth sites
with only a few users. Leafnode keeps track of which groups are being
read, and downloads only articles in those groups. Leafnode has been
designed to require no maintenance and to be easy to set up.
.
Perl and the libnet-perl package are required to use some optional
features of the package for handling very low volume newsgroups.
