Bug Description
Binary package hint: tin
When I start tin from the command-line as-is (just 'tin') it defaults to a local newsspool. In the average modern setup the newsserver is remote via nntp, so I always have to type 'tin -r'.
Please compile tin as package with NNTP support default on (or offer an nntp-tin package).

If the binary is invoked as rtin it wont try to read from local spool, you could also set the environment var TINRC to "-r" so you don't have to type in the -r every time.
