Package: wnpp Version: N/A Severity: wishlist NewsCache is a free cache server for USENET News. NewsCache acts to news reading clients like a news server, except that it stores only those articles that have been requested by at least one client. NewsCache targets problems of the current News System like network bandwidth consumption or the IO load caused by news clients.
http://www.infosys.tuwien.ac.at/NewsCache/ NewsCache is released under the GPL, unlike nntpcache (its better known equivalent) which is released under a proprietary licence. If nobody else picks up the RFP, I will package it myself, but I'm not doing so at the moment because the last two times I put in an ITP, another maintainer got sick of waiting for me to actually do it and they ended up packaging it instead. :-) -- JEREMY MALCOLM <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Personal: http://www.malcolm.id.au Providing online networks of Australian lawyers (http://www.ilaw.com.au) and Linux experts (http://www.linuxconsultants.com.au) for instant help!
