Thanks to -- Changes from Suck-4.2.5 -> Suck-4.3.0 * As of this version, my e-mail address has changed from from bobyetman@worldnet.att.net to bobyetman@home.com * changes to allow it to use SSL. * rpost.c - added -i option, to ignore the readonly opening response and try to post anyway, since inn-2.3, when using authinfo, still sends 201 code meaning readonly. - do_authenticate() - added print statements to show start of, and successful completion of authentication. * suck.c - get_one_article_kill() - add test for header_only mode when in stdout mode to not download the body. - get_one_article(), get_articles() - added -bP option, to post articles during download. --- news/suck/pkg-descr | 9 +++++++-- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'news/suck/pkg-descr') diff --git a/news/suck/pkg-descr b/news/suck/pkg-descr index c36557a3968f..53ddcdcc9ce5 100644 --- a/news/suck/pkg-descr +++ b/news/suck/pkg-descr @@ -1,5 +1,10 @@ suck feeds news to local INN or CNEWS server without the remote NNTP feeding.
