astro/wmsun: "Update" to 1.05 and return to official upstream repository (was: Change mastersite)

While I'm here:

• Add license information
• Sort variables a bit according to the PHB

^ how about this one: https://www.dockapps.net/wmsun ... slightly older versions though... or is this unrelated to this one?

The whole thing looks a bit abandonware-y...

astro/wmsun has a new home at https://github.com/window-maker/dockapps/tree/master/wmsun (which is also related in some way to https://www.dockapps.net/wmsun) but there's the latest version 1.05.

It might be possible that the current astro/wmsun is a fork that has ceased now. When comparing the ChangeLog files of the GitHub repo (https://github.com/window-maker/dockapps/blob/master/wmsun/ChangeLog) and in the currently used tarball there are some differences:

Github repo:

• flawless continuation from 1.03 up to 1.05

Source tarball:

• jumps from 1.03 to 1.10 with some remarks about the different upstream sources

AFAIK there would be two options:
a) Rename the port to astro/wmsun-fork (or similar) and deprecate it
b) switch to 1.05 from the GH repository and increase PORTEPOCH

What do you think about it?

I would prefer b), then it has a proper upstream and not some shadily versioned tar from a dead upstream :)

Indeed and I was able to gather some more infos meanwhile:

The official version 1.05 requires an updated x11-wm/libdockapp (which is available in the official repository, too). But I did also some quick runtime test of the "new" astro/wmsun and the program crashes upon startup.

To keep it short: A bit more work is required to bring the port into the right shape.

Since x11-wm/libdockapp has been updated to 0.7.2 in rP495736 astro/wmsun can now be "upgraded" to 1.05. By this change the port will use the official upstream repository.
