inn2 (2.2.2.2000.01.31-5) stable; urgency=medium

  * apply patch from Taketoshi Sano that fixes posting problem introduced 
    in the -4.1 security fix, closes: #83888, #85482

 -- Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com>  Sun,  1 Apr 2001 12:19:16 -0600

inn2 (2.2.2.2000.01.31-4.1) stable; urgency=high

  * Non-maintainer upload by Security Team
  * Backported security bugfix from WireX/Immunix that fixes several
    temporary file vulnerabilities.
  * Backported another security bugfix that fixes a vulnerability in
    verifycancel
  * Applied patch by Andi Kleen prohibiting innd from crash for two byte
    headers
  * Hax0red configure to not fail on arm anymore

 -- Martin Schulze <joey@finlandia.infodrom.north.de>  Fri, 26 Jan 2001 23:43:11 +0100

inn2 (2.2.2.2000.01.31-4) frozen unstable; urgency=low

  * add code to the postinst that calls 'hostname --fqdn' to make sure we can
    determine the FQDN before we try to start the daemon.  Not doing this 
    caused installs to fail on poorly-configured systems.  Closes: #64681
  * target frozen since this was tagged important, and could indeed cause an
    install or upgrade to fail in some (relatively rare?) cases.

 -- Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com>  Fri, 26 May 2000 21:32:01 -0600

inn2 (2.2.2.2000.01.31-3) frozen unstable; urgency=low

  * target frozen since these are release critical
  * fix a variety of permission problems including /var/lib/news, 
    closes: #61077
  * permit world execute of /usr/bin/rnews, closes: #61409

 -- Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com>  Thu,  6 Apr 2000 23:17:56 -0600

inn2 (2.2.2.2000.01.31-2) frozen unstable; urgency=low

  * target frozen since one of these is release critical
  * fix owner, group, and permissions of /var/run/news on fresh installs,
    closes: #61030
  * minor tweak to default inn.conf so build host isn't the value of pathhost
    on new installs, closes: #60779
  * fix owner, group, and permissions of /usr/bin/rnews so that it actually
    works, closes: #58964

 -- Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com>  Fri, 24 Mar 2000 01:01:57 -0700

inn2 (2.2.2.2000.01.31-1) frozen unstable; urgency=low

  * target frozen since some of the bug fixes here qualify as release critical
  * roll to current stable CVS snapshot to acquire bug fixes (some significant)
    since 2.2.2 release, closes: #55581
  * tag many scripts in /usr/lib/news/ as conffiles, so changes aren't lost on
    upgrades.  This makes particularly good sense given the apparent upstream 
    attitude that whacking scripts to configure a system is reasonable.  Add
    lintian overrides since it calls conffiles under /usr errors.
    Closes: #55723, #56385
  * have inn2 "provide inn" so that other packages that depend on inn don't
    get frustrated with us, closes: #56040
  * add -L to innflags and turn controlchan on in default inn.conf (to match
    what we're shipping in default newsfeeds file), closes: #56383, #56384
  * don't remove /usr/lib/news explicitly in postrm, since other packages need
    it, closes: #55467

 -- Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com>  Mon, 31 Jan 2000 23:48:44 -0700

inn2 (2.2.2-4) frozen unstable; urgency=low

  * change package names from inn to inn2 as part of Debian INN peace project,
    which will reinstate 1.7.2 as 'inn'.  Target frozen so we ship both 1.7.2
    and 2.2.2 with potato!
  * add suitable conflicts with inn 1.X packages, leaving check for old 
    versions in preinst along since it does no harm
  * add task-news-server to help new installs target inn2 by default

 -- Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com>  Wed, 19 Jan 2000 11:07:16 -0700

inn (2.2.2-3) frozen unstable; urgency=low

  * target frozen since this fixes multiple release-critical bugs
  * inewsinn needs to provide inews, closes: #55349
  * fix rnews path in all innshellvars flavors, closes: #55307
  * since rnews uses nnrpdpostport, inews should also, closes: #54975
  * allow inews to work when talking to servers that require authentication
    for the "mode reader" command, closes: #31145
  * add some more information to README.Debian, and include an explicit 
    pointer to it from the upgrade check in the preinst
  * remove needless leftover example maintainer scripts in debian/Examples

 -- Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com>  Sun, 16 Jan 2000 14:43:12 -0700

inn (2.2.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * move more config files and related man pages from package inn to inewsinn
    so that inews works correctly, closes: #55159
  * flag /etc/cron.d/inn as a conffile
  * reviewing / closing bugs in inn reported against prior versions that are
    fixed or no longer relevant in 2.2.2 ...
  * innwatch startup is cleaner than it used to be, closes: #21586, #32416
  * logging id different than it used to be, closes: #24504
  * expire.ctl doesn't have sequence problem any more, closes: #37737
  * Old hosts.nntp and hosts.nntp.nolimit are merged, closes: #48739
  * nntpsend.ctl no longer specifies the path, closes: #49673
  * startup works fine now, closes: #51944
  * control.ctl template is new, and correct, closes: #54526
  * crosspost and overview directories are correct, closes: #55062
  * history corruption problem should be long since fixed, closes: #11614
  * client timeout is set to 10 minutes in /etc/news/inn.conf file by default,
    which seems pretty reasonable, and is easy to change.  Closes: #12358
  * the ancient problem with ctlinnd rmgroup appears fixed, closes: #12559
  * the current GetFQDN code appears to be coded to work in more cases than 
    it once was, closes: #29695
  * we use a cron.d script now, so send-uucp, et al, can be scheduled on any
    desired interval.  Closes: #43016

 -- Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com>  Sat, 15 Jan 2000 01:18:17 -0700

inn (2.2.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.  Enough has changed since the 1.7.2 release that
    this is repackaged entirely from scratch.  
    Closes: #25936, #26255, #43546, #52672, #43896, #54609, #54759
  * patch lib/parsedate.y to include "y2k fix" relating to acceptance of
    articles with year of 1900.  Closes: #53813
  * postinst no longer prompts on upgrades, closes: #26659, #44918, #37888
  * much newer innfeed, now integrated with inn sources, closes: #14326
  * install docs revised, formatted version provided, closes: #43898
  * large warning in preinst about upgrades from prior revisions of Debian
    INN package requiring manual intervention.  The degree of assistance
    will improve in future uploads, but may never be fully automatic.

 -- Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com>  Wed, 22 Dec 1999 02:22:33 -0700

inn (1.7.2-9) unstable; urgency=low

  * fold in Roman Hodek's changes from his 6.1 NMU, closing 38621.  This
    fixes an ugly i386 dependency in the way inn calls Perl.
  * update perl dependency managment to try and cope with new perl policy

 -- Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com>  Sat, 17 Jul 1999 17:13:05 -0600

inn (1.7.2-6) unstable; urgency=low

  * new maintainer
  * clean up a few lintian complaints
  * folding in changes from Christian Kurz that he called -5.  We'll call this
    -6 even though his changes were not widely distributed, just to avoid any
    confusion:

      Removed X-Server-Date-Patch as it's not needed.
      default moderation address add to /etc/news/moderators (closes: #24549)
      Inn now depends on perl (closes: #27754, #32313)

      Changed the examples

 -- Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com>  Wed, 26 May 1999 15:18:53 -0600

inn (1.7.2-4) frozen unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fixes:
    #21583: inn: inn must replace inewsinn
    #20763: inn sends me `not running' and `now running' each night
    #21342: inn: install probs
    #21582: inn: incorrect prerm fail-upgrade action
    #21584: inn: postinst doesn't know abort-upgrade
    #20048: inn: poison and REMEMBER_TRASH patch
    #21644: inn: a way to not receive certain groups
  * Wrt bug #20763: the ctlinnd timeout in innwatch has been increased
    to 300 seconds (5 minutes). Hopefully that is enough.. There is no
    good alternative, the fact that INN is slow while renumbering is
    a basic design flaw. (Though the abp-scheduler patch might help)

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>  Fri, 22 May 1998 19:52:55 +0200

inn (1.7.2-3) frozen unstable; urgency=medium

    #20436: inn: on line 16 of the prerm script there is "fi" instead of "esac"

  * inewsinn no longer conflicts: inn so installation should no
