touch_newsgroup is a relatively small Perl script used to periodically touch newsgroups on locally-running news servers (the author mentions Leafnode in particular, and that's what I'm running myself, but it'd work for anything really) so that the groups don't get unsubscribed by the server if they're infrequently updated. Will affix the ebuild and support files momentarily Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 42572 [details] touch_newsgroup-0.3.ebuild Here's the ebuild itself, nothing out of the ordinary. Adds a few files from ${FILESDIR} so that it can be run via cron easily.
Created attachment 42573 [details] touch_newsgroup.cron Here's the file that goes in /etc/cron.daily
Created attachment 42574 [details] subscribed.conf ... and here's a conf file which goes in /etc/touch_newsgroups which contains the names of the groups to touch.
Upstream website is dead. It looks like net-nntp/leafnode provides a similar script.
