Description Yonas Yanfa 2022-04-11 17:51:48 UTC
If someone has a copy of the code, we could upload a fork on GitHub and use that instead.

While on this topic, if we're not already caching the code, how expensive would that be for the FreeBSD infrastructure / Foundation to mirror / cache the git repo for 40,000 ports?

Hello,

I am the author of alfio, I wrote it a few years ago and completely forgot about it. The repository is gone since I deleted my GitHub account almost two years ago, which I have recreated only recently.

Unfortunately, I have no copy of the software left on my disks. But maybe I am able to retrieve it from some old FreeBSD package.

I am going to try and let you know.

Thanks for your interest and for reminding me about it.

I have retrieved the code from distcache and re-created the GitHub repository. I will soon re-create the release as well and also adopt the port, but as I took a break from FreeBSD and I am coming back only now, this will require a few days: I need a bit of time to set a few things before committing into the ports tree.

    sysutils/alfio: Update to v0.3-bis and adopt again

    No changes have been done since v0.3: the new version has been created
    only because the GitHub repository had been deleted, destroying v0.3 and
    removing the authoritative download site.

    Now the repository has been recreated and v0.3-bis has been released,
    which is a copy of v0.3.
