Description paulbeard 2013-09-19 00:00:00 UTC
	===>   cups-samba-6.0_7 depends on file: /usr/local/sbin/pkg - found
=> cups-windows-6.0-source.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/.
=> Attempting to fetch http://ftp.easysw.com/pub/cups/windows/cups-windows-6.0-source.tar.gz

could be a network problem:

ping ftp.easysw.com
PING ftp.easysw.com (208.96.52.102): 56 data bytes
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
Request timeout for icmp_seq 2

But I don't know if easysw.com exists or is now cups.org.

Fix: 

n/a
How-To-Repeat: 	cd /usr/ports/print/cups-samba; make

Comment 4 mwisnicki+freebsd 2013-09-20 21:49:28 UTC
I have a copy of the file and I am currently investigating licensing issues.
Comment 5 mwisnicki 2014-01-29 00:08:59 UTC
Sorry for not getting to this earlier. According to upstream
maintainer/developer, Windows DDK license requires keeping drivers up to
date with latest version of DDK (which cups-samba currently does not
support) at all times. That sounds rather strange and I was unable to
verify those claims but IANAL and I didn't try very hard. I'm not sure what
to do next, perhaps this port should be removed.
Comment 6 paulbeard 2014-01-29 00:12:52 UTC
I think I worked around it but can't recall how. Removing the port seems
logical if the distfile is no longer available or necessary. I'll see if I
can unearth my correspondence on it, retrace my steps.

Paul, Marcin,

any news yet?

Cheers,
Matthias
Comment 9 mwisnicki+freebsd 2014-03-03 20:14:11 UTC
Nope, I've read the license and couldn't find anything resembling what
is claimed by upstream but IANAL so I cannot resolve this problem.

BTW. due to my mistake of using unicode sender name in my last
response and brokeness of gnats, I'm no longer included in followup
recipient list. When responding please make sure I'm CC'ed.

I'm afraid there is nothing more I can do. The port will have to be removed.
