ebuilds for nntpcache 3.0.1 and 3.0.2

Description Alessandro Di Marco 2006-06-19 15:31:43 UTC
Hi all,
please find in attachment the ebuilds for the 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 version of NNTPCache. The vanilla distros won't compile due to a bunch of sandbox violations, successfully solved thanks to a patch-script contained in the ebuild itself. Probably these scripts diverge from the usual gentoo patching way, but I found them really effective.

Best,

NNTPCache (efficiently) executes on the localhost pretending to be an NNRP news reading server. In fact, what it does is pass certain NNTP commands through to real (remote and possibly local) news-servers based on various pattern matching rules. NNTPCache then takes the output from those servers and caches & indexes it in funky ways (much case specific magic goes into this). The next time such information is asked for, or other information which can be logically inferred from the previously collated information, it is sent directly from the cache, without consulting the remote servers...
