Bug#538706: ITP: newsstar -- advanced NNTP fetcher/sender

[Tony Houghton <h@realh.co.uk>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Tony Houghton <h@realh.co.uk>


I'm the upstream developer and I had been including a debian directory
with my releases for some time. I've just updated that and made it
lintian-clean with the intent of becoming the official (sponsored)
maintainer for it.

Newsstar is a mature project with infrequent releases and no current
known bugs.

  Description     : advanced NNTP fetcher/sender

Newsstar is designed to transfer Usenet articles as quickly as possible
between a local server (supports INN, s-news and sn) and multiple remote
servers, using "pipelining" and multithreading techniques for speed.
Other features include score-based killfiling and SSL support.
