Hi all, In https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=156470666814542&w=2 Daniel Jakots showed that some ports where I'm listed as MAINTAINER have broken homepages. Here's the first step to fix that: games/doomdata/ shareware doesn't only have a broken HOMEPAGE, its MASTER_SITES is also broken. As id doesn't seem to really have a page on (classic) doom anymore, I've removed HOMEPAGE. Thanks to Stuart who still had a copy of the original file, the broken MASTER_SITES can be fixed by hosting the distfile myself.
Then, 10 years ago (!!!), Daniel Dickman pointed out that the link to a quote from John Carmack was *also* broken. Back then he suggested including the quote in the Makefile directly as a comment. Note that this quote is basically a mail John sent in 1999 (20 years ago!), explaining that the DOOM shareware wad is freely distributable. I promised Daniel to look into this when I had more time .. so with apologies to Daniel I'm finally coming around to that. I've tested the wad with games/prboom and can confirm it works fine. Can someone please review and, if OK, commit this? Thanks, Paul Index: Makefile =================================================================== RCS file: /home/OpenBSD/cvs/ports/games/doomdata/shareware/Makefile,v retrieving revision 1.4 diff -u -p -r1.4 Makefile --- Makefile 12 Jul 2019 20:46:16 -0000 1.4 +++ Makefile 4 Oct 2019 19:41:33 -0000 @@ -4,21 +4,39 @@ COMMENT = DOOM I Shareware data files DISTNAME = doom19s PKGNAME = doomdata-1.9 -REVISION = 0 +REVISION = 1 EXTRACT_SUFX = .zip CATEGORIES = games -HOMEPAGE = http://www.idsoftware.com/games/doom/doom-collectors/ - MAINTAINER = Paul de Weerd <[email protected]> PKG_ARCH = * -# John Carmack says "freely distributable" : -# http://sinusforschung.com/cgi-bin/dwww/usr/share/doc/doom-wad-shareware/copyright +# The license does not appear to grant distribution permission.
