Package: cyrus-common-2.2
Version: 2.2.13-3
Severity: minor
README.Debian says
--------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Removal of netnews support
Netnews support as it were is dead. Cyrus 2.2 has a brand new approach,
and the stuff in Cyrus 2.2 is not functional, and thus removed from this
package.
---------------------------------------------------------
Huh? I think this is a mangled holdover from the readme for 2.1.
Parsing what's written:
Netnews support as it were is dead. Cyrus 2.2 has a brand new approach,
OK, so netnews is 2.1
and the stuff in Cyrus 2.2 is not functional,
or is it?
and thus removed from this package.
That sounds prettty definite. Except there is cyrus-nntp-2.2.
