Description

Please update the Netnews module to Drupal 4.7. The netnews.mysql file should also be replaced with a netnews.install file.

PS: I've marked this as critical as Drupal 4.7 was officially released on May, 1.

If you're interested, I've upgraded netnews to 4.7 (pretty trivial) but I
also brought along the binary attachment support I built onto the 4.6
version a while back.
Attachments get deciphered and stored in /files, then linked to the parent
post as either image or file attachments.
Doesn't handle multipart or one odd type of encoding, but does UUEncode
and YEnc OK.

Also auto-categorizes posts against a taxonomy of keywords it extracts
from the headers (good for capturing series of posts that are not
threaded)

I'm looking at banging on a bit of a control panel to the nntp profile to
allow better control of what gets downloaded, and what's available.

I've posted to janb to ask for CVS rights to publish this.

Is this module "dead"?

I believe this is the module i've been searching for. I need automated node creation based on NNTP group posts. I've used your 4.7 version listed here, but I'm not seeing the updated results.

Are you still supporting this module, or should I be looking for a different module to accomplish this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Anthony
