Bug#165123: RFA: suck -- Small newsfeed from an NNTP server with standard NNTP commands.

[Tollef Fog Heen <tollef@add.no>]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-10-17
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the suck package.
The package description is:
 This package contains software for copying news from an NNTP
 server to your local machine, and copying replies back up to
 an NNTP server.
 .
 The suck/rpost combination allows you to run your own INN/CNEWS site,
 controlling where you get your news, and where you post outgoing articles.
 Suck/rpost use only standard NNTP commands that are used by your favorite
 news reader (like tin, knews, trn) such as POST and ARTICLE.  If you
 can use tin or knews against a NNTP site, than you can use Suck/Rpost and
 have multiple site feeds.
 .
 NOTE: Suck will not work with obsolete NNTP servers that can't handle the
 xhdr command.

Suck has some bugs, and I'd like whoever takes it to look through the
bug list before accepting the package.  I haven't taken proper care of
suck for a long time, so I figured it would be good if it found
another maintainer.
