• control-archive 1.9.0 released

    I'm pleased to announce release 1.9.0 of control-archive.

    This software generates an INN control.ctl configuration file from
    hierarchy configuration fragments, verifies control messages using GnuPG
    where possible, processes new control messages to update a newsgroup list, archives new control messages, and exports the list of newsgroups in a
    format suitable for synchronizing the newsgroup list of a Netnews news
    server. It is the software that maintains the control message and
    newsgroup lists available from ftp.isc.org.

    Changes from previous release:

    Use gpg1 instead of gpg in the Makefile and scripts/generate-files to
    support older keys. Suppress warnings about keyring permissions when
    generating files.

    When verifying PGP signatures, require that the headers part of the
    X-PGP-Sig header contain a comma. This more readily diagnoses a
    missing version field and improves the error message, instead of
    reporting that the Control header is not signed.

    Hierarchy updates:

    * Remove the dictator.* hierarchy (shuttered by its maintainer)
    * Add rocksolid.*
    * Fix line endings in nntpworld.* key
    * Replace the fr.* key and URLs and add a key fingerprint

    You can download it from:

    This package is maintained using Git; see the instructions on the above
    page to access the Git repository.

    Please let me know of any problems or feature requests not already listed
    in the TODO file.

    Works pretty good. I have just sent a checkgroups with a few
    description improvements. It was properly honoured by control-archive.

    FWIW, if there are users of C News and DNews reading us, you can find auto-generated C News controlperm and DNews control.conf there:
    http://usenet.trigofacile.com/hierarchies/data/

    And also a newsgroups file with descriptions entirely in UTF-8 :-)

    All generated from ftp.isc.org data.
