It's wonderful software that's pretty neat, but I've lost all motivation for caring for it because upstream insist on using ancient automake for its ansi2knr tool, removed in later automake releases. See https://github.com/ngircd/ngircd/issues/261#issuecomment-1369266180. While we could just patch the generated configure, it's an ongoing problem if we have to make future changes, and given I've been championing the Modern C work, I just can't really bring myself to do it here. I'm last-riting net-irc/ngircd accordingly. Feel free to adopt it and unmask it if you're willing to do that handrolling of the configure patch for https://bugs.gentoo.org/946998 or somehow persuade upstream. (It might be possible to maintain a tiny meson port for it. Maybe upstream would even accept such a thing if it lived alongside autotools in the repo.) # Sam James (2024-12-27) # Unfixable modern C issues because of reliance on ancient automake. # Out of date. See bug #946998. Removal on 2025-01-27. net-irc/ngircd thanks, sam --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iOUEARYKAI0WIQQlpruI3Zt2TGtVQcJzhAn1IN+RkAUCZ25fpF8UgAAAAAAuAChp c3N1ZXItZnByQG5vdGF0aW9ucy5vcGVucGdwLmZpZnRoaG9yc2VtYW4ubmV0MjVB NkJCODhERDlCNzY0QzZCNTU0MUMyNzM4NDA5RjUyMERGOTE5MA8cc2FtQGdlbnRv by5vcmcACgkQc4QJ9SDfkZAAiQD/YNJHDwlrpnOWu1jdpDIG4gUy8tuGrvwEZayO hvwNeT0A/iquRVZxp2hpU3oE6UlVJOG2M2o65PE8BvxhqgiMAiAF =uPSi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
