I also read this
mail list via NNTP (easier to keep track of threads)
This is perfect for me. But information on the net is scarce and I don't
know where to begin. I know that I can access linux.debian.* and read
stuff, but that would require a -often paid- Usenet account.
Is there an open readonly server specifically for Debian? Mozilla does
this (news.mozilla.org)
According to: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMailingLists
There are 4 ways to read the list:
- Email when subscribed to the list.
- A Web browser viewing the archives, which are public.
- Usenet with Network News (Transfer|Transport) Protocol, NNTP.
- The mail-to-news gateways linux.debian.*
I guess my question is how to do the third one.
Thanks in advance.
You don't need to use a paid server. There are plenty of free ones
available. Personally, I use eternal-september.com. It's been pretty
solid for me and contains all of the newsgroups I want. No binary
newsgroups, but I can life with that.
You can't post to Debian from there (because it's just a mirror of the
mailing list), but you can post to real newsgroups.
Note that a lot of list-to-usenet gateway software can be
bi-directional, depending on administrative settings.
As someone pointed out, debian-user is gatewayed to gmane - which, in
turn, EXPOSES AN NNTP FEED.
Point your newsreader at nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user
If this gets to the list, then one can post through it as well.
