Things always take longer than anticipated. I need another check for my
progress before making one more pass through Haskell ports.
I built and ran everything up to xmonad, darcs, xmobar, ShellCheck.
This required a few new ports and updates to all the existing ones up
to these binaries.
The messy history of changes is in many branches of
https://github.com/blackgnezdo/ports
I squashed ghc_864_sep1 branch into the attached monster patch.
I'm looking for guidance on landing this work. I'd also love to get a
global ports build with this if possible.
One specific question. GHC picked lib/x86_64-openbsd-ghc-8.6.4 for
storing Template Haskell dynamic libraries. If there's a better place we
should switch as the path gets copied to all the PLIST files.
Thanks
Greg

NEW: mail/rss2email3
Hi ports@,
Here is the new release of rss2email. As before, it is a new port and
not an update of rss2email since it is completely incompatible and I
don't want to break users' perfectly fine configurations.
Some concerns from last time have been addressed:
Q: Is the new upstream (https://github.com/rss2email/rss2email) the
canonical upstream?
A: Yes, the old maintainer W. Trevor King has added the new
maintainers to the PyPI package (https://pypi.org/project/rss2email/)
and this is where we have released 3.10.
Q: Why is "3" embedded in the port name? What happens when version 4
is released?
A: As one of the maintainers of the project, I can personally
guarantee version 4 will never be released. We will never break
compatibility (big statement I know) and there will never be a
major version bump. If there are better naming ideas, I am open to
them.
Q: Why would I use this instead of my already working rss2email-2.71
setup?
A: We got all of the people who had forked rss2email under one roof
and collected all of their previously bugfixes and new
features. Like support for writing to maildir, working tests, some
SSL fixes, some feed parsing fixes, etc. I think it works better
than 3.9 (which is actually not even in ports, so maybe this is
irrelevant). And not to mention, this is the only version with
active maintainers who will respond to problems.
Q: Does it work on the undeadly.org RSS feed?
A: Yes! Or at least it does on my machine.
The only issue I have is that "make test" hangs but if you manually go
to WRKSRC and run the tests it works. Probably something to do with
the fact the tests start a web server?
I am really keen to get this in eventually since I've been using it
for an extremely long time.
Testing and suggestions are very welcome.
