XPost: news.software.nntp
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
