Hi Nick,
We seem to have two things going on here:
motd.innd is to be renamed to motd.nnrpd (by a means yet to be agreed);
Do you mean motd.news (used by INN <= 2.5.2) is to be renamed to
motd.nnrpd (used by INN >= 2.5.3)?
motd.innd does not exist in INN 2.5.2.
Under the name motd.nnrpd it is no longer a conffile in the new package
(as it is no longer shipped but it is used if present).
motd.nnrpd is still shipped in INN 2.5.3.
If I have a look at the list of files installed by Debian packages, I see:
INN 2.5.2:
/etc/news/motd.news
/usr/share/doc/inn2/examples/active
/usr/share/doc/inn2/examples/innreport.css
/usr/share/doc/inn2/examples/newsgroups
INN 2.5.3:
/usr/share/doc/inn2/examples/active
/usr/share/doc/inn2/examples/innreport.css
/usr/share/doc/inn2/examples/motd.innd
/usr/share/doc/inn2/examples/motd.nnrpd
/usr/share/doc/inn2/examples/newsgroups
I believe something should be done in the 2.5.3 Debian package:
motd.innd and motd.nnrpd should be installed in the /etc/news directory!
Incidentally Russ Alberry reckons that the feature which requires this
file is almost never used anyway:
http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/docs/motd.news.html
Yep, that's true. This feature is not wide-spread.
In Wheezy we will (all being well) then either have no file at all (if
it proclaimed "This is a sample MOTD file" under squeeze) or else have
a non-conffile that has been user created.
I think it would be best to have both motd.innd and motd.nnrpd because
they are already shipped in the package. They should be installed in
the right /etc/news directory.
I think this is the best for anyone who does use this file. I'll try
coding it up but can anyone see any holes in this idea in the meantime ?
I hope the above comments will be of help.
