Google Code as an upstream is gone
Hello, Google Code has been deprecated[1] since March 2015, and read-only since August 2015, giving time to software developers to move their development some place else. All the distribution files that still use solely googlecode.com as their source have been marked BROKEN today in r422140[2], as they are not fetchable. Most software have moved to some other place (mostly on github), all you have to do is figure out where and update your ports accordingly. 1: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2015/03/farewell-to-google-code.html 2: https://reviews.freebsd.org/rP422140 -- Mathieu Arnold signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

E.g. security/ssh-guard has slightly different builds, all from a common source. One for each of the commonly used firewalls; ipfw, pf, null. If the sources are different, a slave is not appropriate.

Even the port is already fixed in quarterly, the build is already finished or running at the moment, so the port will be missing until the next run. It should be no problem to install now postfix-current, and in a few days after the next build was running swap to postfix (simply run a pkg delete postfix-current and pkg install postfix, I'm doing this often to test new current versions) -- olli ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

My interpretation of this phrase is not that LICENSE variable is mandatory (to which I would object on the basis that ports licensing framework is vague, incomplete, and apparently used by noone too), but rather that for the program to be freely distributable at all, it's author(s) need to explicitly give their permission. That permission is the license. If no license statement can be found in the sources or the website, then no permission is given, and it's technically illegal for anyone but the author(s) to use the software. If this is the case, I suggest you to contact the authors, explain the situation, and ask them to include some sort of a license statement -- we'll be forced to remove the program from ports collection otherwise. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

LICENSE documentation
I recently had a minor patch (to one of the ports I maintain) bounced because I hadn't specified a LICENSE. This port never did have LICENSE, and it had been updated recently with no issues. However, I was told that "I don't see any mention of any kind of license in the package or on the site, so it should be LICENSE= NONE. Note that without clear licensing terms it's impossible to legally use and redistribute the code." (I did erroneously interpret that, initially, to be saying that there MUST be a real license specified, although I realise from the above that NONE is acceptable (and presumably meets the criteria for "clear licensing terms")). Let me make it absolutely clear that I am not criticising or questioning the committers; they are just doing their job. However, I wonder if two things ought to be done: 1) There should be something in the Porter's Handbook about LICENSE. There is little or none, merely material about licensing in a more general sense. I would produce an update myself, but given the above, I am probably not the best person! 2) portlint currently says: "WARN: Makefile: Consider defining LICENSE. 0 fatal errors and 1 warning found."
