Bug#244201: O: newsflash -- Get news with the newnews command from a server



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The current maintainer of newsflash, Matthias Kabel
<mkabel@debian.org>, does not take care of this package any more.
Therefore, I orphan this package now.  If you want to be the new
maintainer, please take it -- see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Some information about this package:

Package: newsflash
Priority: optional
Section: news
Installed-Size: 124
Maintainer: Matthias Kabel <mkabel@debian.org>
Architecture: i386
Version: 0.99-6.1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2-1)
Filename: pool/main/n/newsflash/newsflash_0.99-6.1_i386.deb
Size: 16590
MD5sum: ab198db1f460184dce5ec0c7b338c314
Description: Get news with the newnews command from a server
 The Newsflash program retrieves news articles via NNTP from one server and
 delivers them to another.  It requires at least read-only permissions
 on the remote server, and needs to have peer permissions on the local
 server.  It works well with INN, but should also work with any other
 RFC977 compliant news software.  Newsflash's highly parallel design
 is optimized for throughput, which makes quite a difference to INN's
 nntpget and the like.

Justification:
Last maintainer upload 2000-11-08. Unacknowleged NMU 2003-08-21. Last
reaction of the maintainer to any of the currently open bug reports on
2001-04-30 (#95249). No answer to mail.
