Newsx is an NNTP client for Unix. It will connect to a remote NNTP
server and post outgoing articles batched by the news system, as well as
fetch incoming articles.
It provides the NNTP capabilities required for small local news spools
on installations with NNTP access only through limited ISP accounts. It
works well via a dialup SLIP/PPP connection.
Newsx is also well suited for large spools with normal feeds, being
used for pulling newsgroups from specific NNTP servers that are not
distributed in the usual manner. Since newsx obeys the normal news spool
configuration file and requires little or no specific configuration, the
administrative burden should be minimized.
===> The following configuration options are available for newsx-1.6_6:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Remove indefinite articles and trailing periods from COMMENT, plus minor
COMMENT typos and surrounding whitespace fixes. A few Makefiles where not
included as they contain Latin-1 characters that break the Phabricator
workflow. Category N.

- Add LDFLAGS to CONFIGURE_ENV and MAKE_ENV (as it was done with LDFLAGS)
- Fix all ports that add {CPP,LD}FLAGS to *_ENV to modify flags instead

Change BROKEN into IGNORE: newsx does not build on the cluster ATM since
INN does not install its default configuration files any more when
installed as a package, but the port is OK.
Due to a misuse of a make(1) command, the WITHOUT_INN_2-X
switch was being completely ignored. This fixes that. I'm
bumping PORTREVISION here because a rebuild could potentially
cause a new dependency list and a different output binary.
First round of auto* cleanups: - USE_AUTO* -> USE_AUTO*_VER=* where required
- USE_AUTO* / *_DEPENDS=.*auto*:*/devel/auto* -> GNU_CONFIGURE where OK -
Other minor changes to fix things
