This is the last call for comments for the review of debconf templates for leafnode. The reviewed templates will be sent on Friday, February 15, 2008 to the package maintainer as a bug report and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag. --
Template: leafnode/server Type: string Default: news _Description: Server to download news from: The name of the news server should be provided by the organization providing you with network access, such as your Internet Service Provider. . This server is generally called "news.<domain>" or "nntp.<domain>" where <domain> is the local domain name. 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 the news server which opens opportunities for spamming or resource abuse. . Access controls will prevent computers other than the news server itself reading or posting to newsgroups using the server. If required access can be granted to other computers by editing /etc/hosts.allow. Template: leafnode/network Type: select #flag:translate!:1 __Choices: PPP, permanent, none Default: PPP _Description: Network connection type: The Leafnode package can automatically download news. . The method used for this depends on the network connection type. Scripts provided with the package support two network connection types: - permanent: hourly news downloads; - PPP : news downloads triggered by dialouts. . Either option will work for a dial-on-demand network connection. . Choosing 'none' will disable automatic news downloads. News can be downloaded manually by running 'fetchnews'. Template: leafnode/update-groups Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Update the list of available groups? Leafnode updates the list of available newsgroups when it checks for new news. No newsgroups will be available until this has happened at least once. . If you choose to update the list of groups immediately, newsgroups will be available to clients as soon as Leafnode has been set up. Template: leafnode/purge Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Remove news groups and articles when purging the package? The /var/spool/news directory holds the database of news articles downloaded by Leafnode. Many other news servers also use this directory to store their news database and you may wish to keep it even when removing the leafnode package.

Description: NNTP server for small sites
Leafnode is a news server suitable for small, limited-bandwidth sites
with only a few users ('leaf' sites). It 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.
