I remember wondering the same thing a few years back. Seems that I looked, but I failed to find the project. I looked again just now; lo and behold, there is a somewhat active project right here: http://ftp.isc.org/isc/inn/ [1] Current release 2.5.4 just over three months ago. I also remember looking back through some old Slackware ChangeLogs to seek an answer to the second question. I don't remember finding that, either. Furthermore I am too tired/lazy to try to hunt it down now, but there's where you might look. Failing all else, ask Pat. Perhaps he did not know the project has continued and/or been reborn. Looks like it was moved from n/ to extra/ in slackware-9.1. Then dropped during dev of 13.1 with the release a new kernels, compiler and glibc on May 14 2010. My guess is that time, it no longer was building, and there was no new releases of the source... netrixtardis@ Wouldn't have said it was dead, but as with working software, no need to release often like certain un-named non-slackware distros desire... but that said, it was not overly dormant, so maybe Pat had other reasons for dropping it, I mean 2014 is almost over, and he still favours sendmail over postfix :) inn-2.4.5.tar.gz 2008-06-29 inn-2.4.6.tar.gz 2009-03-01 inn-2.5.0.tar.gz 2009-10-12 inn-2.5.1.tar.gz 2009-10-12 inn-2.5.2.tar.gz 2010-03-24 inn-2.5.3.tar.gz 2012-06-15 inn-2.5.4.tar.gz 2014-05-17 (We will soon, well, OK, maybe in the next few years or so, be decommissioning dnews, and moving to inn - simply because dnews is not ipv6 capable, which is sad, because its very very powerful and great on cpu/memory/high-num-users management, it does everything we need and more so very well, but when the world is heavily using ipv6, and when its only ipv6 addresses dished out, we'll have to move with the times too, and migrate) As to the OP question, wasnt slackware a fan of nntpcache? (not looked for years) perhaps thats why inn was dropped? cheers Links: ------ [1] http://ftp.isc.org/isc/inn/ _______________________________________________ slackware mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/slackware
