Cripes, I have no memory of removing that. I hope it's good now.
Let's get this one tied up and then you won't hear from me again until
I restore some order to my life... ;-)

Hopefully final patch for this upgrade. Added one overlooked runtime dep.

Yeah, that might be a good idea. I took this as more of a future reference tip than something urgent for this port, and I've added a note to my checklist.

The do-test target is proving a little squirrely. I'll have to come back to this when I'm not so slammed...

Ooops, made changes to wip instead of biology the first time.

Good stuff, thanks guys! I added these tips to my checklist.

Ugh, slow down Jason...

Thanks for clarifying, I've updated my checklist...

Thanks!

Yeah, I got that, but now I'm uncertain about exactly which OPTIONS features require it. The handbook isn't clear and the mk file is too big to study in detail. I'll just try without it and add when needed, I guess.

Apparently so. Never would have thought of it. The handbook is vague about
this, but it seems to work fine. I ran a make clean rmconfig configure
with 3 different options combos and got expected results.

I put the wrong revision URL in the commit, so it did not close automatically.

Thanks for digging up the old link. I already did change PORTNAME back to cutecom, as @mat's comment would seem to suggest. Also I recall the conversation going to email and getting a little heated, but @mat's take seemed reasonable to me so I've been trying to follow it.

I recall the conversation, but I think it ended with a lack of consensus
even among senior developers. The handbook still doesn't clarify this.
I'm agnostic...

I think that's a good idea and certainly won't hurt. I'll add it to the commit. Thanks...

Another distracted error. The good news is, I'll have fewer distractions once this is committed. ;-)

Yeah, I knew about the done box. Sorry, just distracted today.

Better yet, I'm just going to stop generating manpages for undocumented
scripts. I need to catch up on the documentation as well as separate it out.
I'd like to autogenerate man pages for each script, but haven't found a good
tool yet. Doxygen is nice for HTML but stinks at man pages.

Yes, it's correct. Currently there is one man page covering all scripts (at least the ones that are documented).

Silence mkdir

Actually works with or without :ldflags, so I'll have the project 64 bits.
Added special mention to my checklist.

I think the license perms section is clear enough. Maybe we should add notes where RESTRICTED, NO_CDROM, etc. are introduced stating that they've been superseded, with a link to the license section.

That's what happens when I don't follow my checklist...

Thanks, Mat. There doesn't seem to be much info in the handbook about RESTRICTED. Maybe this should be enhanced.

Kinda doubt I'm going to hear from them given how long the project has been
idle. Also silenced a compiler warning I got tired of looking at.

I'm going to wait for a response from UNC just to be safe. If I don't hear back from them, I'll restore the RESTRICTED entry.

The author told me personally many years ago that it was OK to reditribute, at least in source form. I sent a message to the mailto link on their site asking for clarification. The software hasn't been touched since I ported it maybe 14 years ago. The author finished his PhD and moved on...
