[ Image CVSweb ] [ Image Homepage ] [ Image RSS ] [ Image Required by ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 4.4.10nb15, Package name: fidogate-4.4.10nb15, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

FIDOGATE is a Fido-Internet gateway and a Fido tosser. It is placed under
the GNU General Public License, see COPYING for details.

The gateway converts between the worlds of Fido NetMail/EchoMail (or FTNs,
Fido Technology Networks in general) and the UNIX mail/news system.
FIDOGATE will convert Fido mail packets to RFC822/1036-style messages and
vice versa.

FIDOGATE also includes a complete FIDO mail processor (NetMail/EchoMail
scanner and tosser), an FTN-FTN gateway (NetMail only), a file processor
(TIC file areas) and an Areafix/Filefix.

Log message:
*: add LDFLAGS overide that was previously in mk

This is a workaround and should be fixed properly per-package - they
should use the pkgsrc LDFLAGS, but this restores what happened
before the mk/ cleanup.

Fixes relro build for packages that do not honor LDFLAGS.

Package list provided by mef@, thanks!

Workaround commit requested by bsiegert on tech-pkg.

Log message:
all: migrate some SourceForge homepage URLs back from https to http

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-changes/2020/01/18/msg205146.html

In the above commit, the homepage URLs were migrated from http to https,
assuming that SourceForge would use the same host names for both http and
https connections. This assumption was wrong. Their documentation at
https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Custom%20VHOSTs/ states
that the https URLs use the domain sourceforge.io instead.

To make the homepages from the above commit reachable again, pkglint has
been extended to check for reachable homepages. This check is only
enabled when the --network command line option is given.

Each of the homepages that referred to https://$project.sourceforge.net
before was migrated to https://$project.sourceforge.io (27), and if that
was not reachable, to the fallback URL http://$project.sourceforge.net
(163).
