OK, but it seems that "hylafax.org" is not maintained.   Does ~everybody
think that hylafax.org is no longer relevant to anything?

Is "HylaFAX+" a continuation fork viewed by the community as
established, and therefore this sourceforge repo is the proper upstream
for the package known as hylafax?  Or is that hylafax the package is not
maintained and packagers should add a hylafax+ package instead?

I see that HylaFAX+ had a release in January 2023 -- but apparently not
one that works with libtiff 4.6.0.

From the WikiPedia page regarding HylaFax, I went to the SourceForge
project (Hylafax+) and see a discussion at the top of this page:

https://hylafax.sourceforge.io/about.php

If the text is to be believed, the HylaFAX+ branch is the currently active one (8 releases since 2018!), and indeed there was a release on January 23, 2023. This is the project that Lee Howard has been working on.
