Imported in 1998 and modified in 2009 to "fix Y2K bug" which means
"we may not distribute modified versions [due to its license]".
There has been no update and it now fails to build with "-fno-common".
I can build sattrack and play around with `sattrack' by setting up a
demo group of satallites, but that's about it.
Fetching a list of satellites fails:
$ getsts
ftp: spacelink.msfc.nasa.gov: no address associated with name
Not connected.
Not connected.
Not connected.
Not connected.
override rw-r--r-- root/bin for sts-81.bak? y
mv: rename sts-81.dat to sts-81.bak: Permission denied
sts-81.dat: Permission denied.
Other parts fail similarly:
$ gettle
ftp: archive.afit.af.mil: no address associated with name
Not connected.
[...]
[ a few EACCES and ENOENT errors ]
[ a few blinking "can't write" errors ]
I doubt anybody still uses sattrack; even if, the ports tree seems to
the wrong place to host it when basic functionality is broken and we
cannot distribute readily usable packages.
Feedback? Objections? OK?
