blurb: |
  This software generates an INN control.ctl configuration file from
  hierarchy configuration fragments, verifies control messages using GnuPG
  where possible, processes new control messages to update a newsgroup list,
  archives new control messages, and exports the list of newsgroups in a
  format suitable for synchronizing the newsgroup list of a Netnews news
  server.  It is the software that maintains the control message and
  newsgroup lists available from ftp.isc.org.

description: |
  This package contains three major components:

  * All of the configuration used to generate a `control.ctl` file for INN
    and the `PGPKEYS` and `README.html` files distributed with pgpcontrol,
    along with the script to generate those files.

  * Software to process control messages, verify them against that
    authorization information, and maintain a control message archive and
    list of active newsgroups.  Software is also included to generate
    reports of recent changes to the list of active newsgroups.

  * The documentation files included in the control message archive and
    newsgroup lists on ftp.isc.org.

  Manual changes to the canonical newsgroup list are supported in a way that
  generates the same log messages and uses the same locking structure so
  that they can co-exist with automated changes and be included in the same
  reports.

  This is the software that generates the [active newsgroup
  lists](ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/) and [control message
  archive](ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/control/) hosted on ftp.isc.org, and
  the source of the `control.ctl` file provided with INN.

  useful information about Usenet hierarchies, please see the [list of
