I tend to think that this kind of diversity is of disadvantage, since it makes the documentation longer, makes (later on) users depend on packager's decisions and ask support questions of the "why does ... not work for me and all users see all groups", so I'd probably merge without #ifdef. I'll review your group access control and list filtering patches as time permits. Are you licensing your code under GNU GPL v2 or a compatible license? Or would you prefer to transfer copyright to me? We may need to talk about the user interface rationale, because something like "user-dependent newsgroups" (based on some "authentication" not specified in detail yet, might be IP- or user/password based or perhaps, much later, a client-side TLS certificate) is already on the TODO list and would combine nicely with this approach, but if I find the code acceptable, chances are I'll take your suggestion (perhaps without #ifdef) now and refine the interface later - after all, that's what alpha versions and snapshots are for. Sorry I cannot be quicker to respond ATM, I have some real-life work at hand and a few important fetchmail bug fixes pending that have higher priority than new leafnode features. What I can already say is: Thank You for your contributions! Kind regards, -- Matthias Andree
