Template: noffle/debconf
Type: boolean
Default: yes
Description: Manage noffle configuration using debconf?
 I'm going to overwrite /etc/news/noffle.conf and /etc/default/noffle
 with some defaults and your following answers, and will update
 /etc/inetd.conf if you say 'yes' here.

Template: noffle/port
Type: string
Default: 119
Description: Please choose the port number noffle runs on
 The default port number for NNTP is 119.
 However, perhaps you want to run noffle alongside a normal
 NNTP server; in that case, choose another number (above 1024,
 I recommend 10119), and configure your news reader also to use
 that port number.

Template: noffle/server
Type: string
Default: news
Description: Which parent NNTP server do you want to use?
 Noffle expects to obtain its news from another NNTP server.
 Enter the name of that server here.
 .
 If the server uses a non-standard port number for the NNTP
 connection, please fill that in here as servername:portnumber

Template: noffle/username
Type: string
Description: What is your username when accessing your parent NNTP server?
 If you need to authenticate you may fill in your username on
 your parent NNTP server; if not, just leave this field blank.
 .
 This is not the preferred way of authentication, since your password will
 be transmitted in clear text. See README.Debian for more details.

Template: noffle/password
Type: password
Description: What is your password when accessing your parent NNTP server?
 If you need to authenticate you may fill in your password on
 your parent NNTP server; if not, just leave this field blank.
 Warning: This password will be saved in plaintext in
 /etc/news/noffle.conf and in the debconf database!
 .
 This is not the preferred way of authentication, since your password will
 be transmitted in clear text. See README.Debian for more details.

Template: noffle/fetchmode
Type: select
Choices: ppp, cron
Description: How is noffle supposed to fetch the articles?
 If this is a dialup system, then noffle can be configured to
 fetch articles when the PPP connection comes online. This is
 done via scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/.
 If you have a permanent connection, noffle will assume it
 can always access the NNTP server and a cron job will do.

Template: noffle/maxfetch
Type: string
Default: 300
Description: Fetch how many articles by default?
 When noffle fetches articles, it will never fetch more than this
 amount; if there are more, the oldest are discarded.

Template: noffle/default-expire
Type: string
Default: 14
Description: What should the default expire time (in days) be?
 Noffle is configured to purge the local cache of articles older than
 a certain limit. This parameter configures the minimum age of articles
 to expire; this can be fine-tuned in /etc/news/noffle.conf if necessary.
 Enter '0' to disable it.
