./news/libcanlock, Standalone RFC 8315 Netnews Cancel-Lock implementation

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 3.3.1, Package name: libcanlock-3.3.1, Maintainer: micha

libcanlock is a library for creating and verifying RFC 8315 Netnews
Cancel-Locks. This implementation uses the recommended algorithm from
Section 4 with HMAC based on the same hash function as <scheme>.

A command line utility "canlock" is built together with the library.

Additional header parsers (for the receiving side) are available in the
package canlock-hp.

Log message:
*: Assume that the user has a C99-capable compiler.

A compiler that supports -std=c99 is required for
bootstrap, so it doesn't make sense to specify a c99
compiler everywhere in package makefiles.

At any rate, I would bet my entire life's savings that
this is a small fraction of the total number of packages
requiring c99.

Note that compilers that default to c89 but support c99
are still supported...

Log message:
news/libcanlock: Update to 3.3.1

pkgsrc patch removed.

3.3.1      2024-05-11
           Bugfix: Add path "$PREFIX/include" to pkg-config files. The
            former "$PREFIX/include/libcanlock-3" is still present for
            compatibility to existing code. The "libcanlock-3" directory
            should be part of preprocessor directives (as documented)
           Bugfix: Replace license name "MIT-like" with \ 
"ICU". Note that
            the license terms are unchanged (only the name was fixed)
           Add machine readable SPDX license identifiers.

Log message:
news/libcanlock: Use new variables to request a C99 compiler

Bump, because now the mode should always be set (if default is not C99).
