Package: leafnode
Version: 1.11.3.rel-2
Severity: normal
I have access to two newsservers
news.server1.com
news.server2.com
The first allows downloading of group descriptions, but the second does
not. So I have a
NODESC = 1
line on the second server. However, there is one group in particular,
alt.special-group
that is only available on server2.
I have been unable to find a way to read this group via leafnode, even
though I have access to a server that offers it. For example, I tried
only_groups_pcre = alt\\.special-group
So far, it seems that, unless the group appears in the
groupinfo
file, then a placeholder directory will not be created, and it will be
impossible to subscribe to (and download) that group. But the catch is that
groups on "NODESC = 1" servers don't get added to the groupinfo file.
Unless I've missed something, it seems that there ought to be a way to
manually specify in the configuration file that a specific group is indeed
available from a specific server, and it ought to be fetched from there.
