NewsSrv

Last update: Nov 10 2002

NewsSrv is a tool for downloading binaries on Usenet. It runs either under GNU/Linux or Windows 32bits. Its main feature is that it can be controlled remotely via a Web interface, currently written in PHP. It is based on a mySQL database. It is released under the terms of the GNU GPL.

Some news

As of 2008/02/03, the project moved to a Subversion repository instead of the old CVS one. The code has been hacked to work with newer versions of mysql++, PHP and MySQL. No new feature though, and I don't plan on releasing a new Windows binary.

It's alive!

At least, 0.3.0 is out... And for the occasion, the project moved to Sourceforge.

What's new

The rest of the news concerns only Windows users.

A tool to upgrade the database is provided, but I strongly encourage you to delete your old configuration and start from scratch, it isn't well tested...

Download

Current version is "From Russia With Love" 0.3.0

Changes
0.3.0:
See "what's new"

The download page is accessible from the Sourceforge project page.
Dependencies: you need, of course, a Web server supporting PHP (I use Apache) and a mySQL server. Windows users will have this in one package by using EasyPHP.
To build from source, you'll need some third-party libraries, namely: If you want to build from source under Windows, read this.

Binaries

The Windows installer makes use of NullSoft NSIS.
