Leafnode+ is a simple NNTP server designed for small sites, derived from
the Leafnode package.
Leafnode+ only downloads the contents of newsgroups that users have
accessed recently, considerably reducing bandwidth requirements.
When installing Leafnode+ for the first time, set the
LEAFNODE_SETUP_WRKDIRS environment variable to "yes" before running make
install or pkg_add. This creates the configuration files and a working
directory required to run Leafnode+, typically PREFIX/lib/leafnode and
/var/spool/leafnode.
NOTE: This software contains a number of data-loss bugs and does not
appear to be actively maintained. For new installations, the
news/leafnode port is likely to serve your needs better.

Add note warning against the use of this port for new installations and
recommending the leafnode port instead. Unfortunately the two do not
appear to be cross-compatible, otherwise I'd recommend terminating this
port.
Drop maintainership since I no longer use this software. It has a number
of data-loss bugs and appears to be abandonware; I recommend the
leafnode port instead.
Replace an erroneous ECHO with ECHO_MSG. While I'm here, use DOCSDIR as
suggested by portlint(1).
