Debian-specific slrn configuration ---------------------------------- For Debian, slrn is configured to use the news server in /etc/news/server unless this is overridden by user configuration. It will also use /etc/news/organization for the ogranization header for posts, if that file exists, and /etc/mailname to configure the hostname in news posts. All of the above can also be reconfigured interactively with debconf: dpkg-reconfigure slrn The program /usr/sbin/slrn_getdescs can be run periodically to update the system-wide newsgroup descriptions file. This package provides a systemd slrn.timer which can be enabled to run it every week. The slrnpull program is not included in Debian's slrn package. If you want to use slrnpull for downloading news, install the slrnpull package. The contrib slrn programs (slrnrc-conv, cleanscore) are in /usr/share/slrn/contrib; their documentation is in the /usr/share/doc/slrn/contrib directory.
