./news/leafnode, NNTP server for small (dialup) sites

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.12.0nb4, Package name: leafnode-1.12.0nb4, Maintainer: micha

Leafnode is a USENET software package designed for small sites, with a
few tens of readers and only a slow link to the net.

Only groups that someone has been reading in the past week are fetched
from the upstream NNTP server. When someone stops reading a group,
fetchnews will stop reading that group a week later (this is the default
which can be configured), and when someone starts reading a group, fetchnews
will grab all the articles it can in that group the next time it runs.

news/leafnode: Update to 1.12.0

- Moved pkgsrc options into separate file options.mk

- Replaced MESSAGE by ${PREFIX}/share/doc/leafnode/INSTALL.pkgsrc

==============================================================================
* 1.12.0, 2022-05-26

### CHANGES
- leafnode now requires the PCRE2 library instead of PCRE.
  PCRE2 has been around for a few years and is maintained,
  while PCRE is end of life, no longer supported,
  and is being phased out by distributions.
  See its home page, https://github.com/PhilipHazel/pcre2
  Fixes Debian Bug#1000110 reported by Matthew Vernon via Moritz Mühlenhoff.
- Documentation for running under daemontools/ucspi-tcp (tcpserver)
  has been removed, only UNINSTALL-daemontools remains as documentation.
- leafnode 1 is now distributed in gzip and xz formats.
  bzip2 will no longer be used because xz performs better overall.
- All files have been converted from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 encoding.
- Added leafnode@.service and leafnode.socket as examples for how to launch
  the network-based leafnode listening on port 119.

===========================================================================
* 1.11.12, 2021-03-28

### CHANGES
- The sourceforge.net hosting was reconfigured to serve HTTPS, thus, the
  leafnode website is now at https://leafnode.sourceforge.io/
- https://www.leafnode.org/ is now being served by an external nginx-based
  web server so it can use a proper TLS certificate.
- The GMANE links and last modified tag have been removed from the
  website.
- The web site has been updated to use newer https:// links where
  available.
- The mailing list has been moved to the leafnode.org domain. See README.

### BUGFIXES
- A configuration --without-ipv6 now compiles again.
  Patch by Michael Bäuerle.
- Leafnode recognizes an EEXIST error to rmdir() the same as ENOTEMPTY.
  Patch by Gary R. Schmidt.
- Leafnode no longer trashes the stack if it, while scanning the message.id
  directory, finds a directory with an all-numeric name that is 1000 or
  higher. Reported by Matthias Gerstner.
