Description: News transport system `InterNetNews' by the ISC and Rich Salz
This package provides INN 2.X, which is Debian's preferred news transport
system for new installations. The 'inn' package still exists for sites
running INN 1.X who are not prepared to upgrade yet.
.
The news transport is the part of the system that stores the articles
and the lists of which groups are available and so on, and provides
those articles on request to users. It receives news (either posted
locally or from a newsfeed site), files it, and passes it on to any
downstream sites. Each article is kept for a period of time and then
deleted (this is known as `expiry').
.
By default Debian's INN will install in a fairly simple `local-only'
configuration.
.
In order to make use of the services provided by INN you'll have to
use a user-level newsreader program such as trn. The newsreader is
the program that fetches articles from the server and shows them to
the user, remembering which the user has seen so that they don't get
shown again. It also provides the posting interface for the user.

Description: NNTP client news injector, from InterNetNews (INN)
`inews' is the program that newsreaders call when the user wishes to
post an article; it does a few elementary checks and passes the
article on to the news server for posting.
.
This version is the one from Rich Salz's InterNetNews news
transport system (which is also available as a Debian package).
Package: inn2-dev
Architecture: any
Conflicts: inn-dev
Description: The libinn.a library and manpages.
You will only need this if you are going to compile programs that
require the functions in libinn.a.
Package: task-news-server
Architecture: all
Depends: inn2
Description: USENET News Server
This package will select the preferred version of the INN news server
software for new Debian installations.
.
You do not need this package if you merely wish to read news from an
existing server, just select the news reader program you desire and it
will pull in any required pieces. Only use this package if you intend
to operate a server.
