The variant of 'vacation' installed by this port was cobbled together from sendmail and a handful of other OSes and has not had a new release in many years, nor do I expect it to have or need one. This variant is considered a native Debian package where it is hosted by Debian without an upstream, and the only changes to the distfile are small tweaks specific to Debian. I would like a committer to set: PORTSCOUT= ignore:1 or whatever necessary to ignore minor updates to the base version number of 3.3.0, such as vacation_3.3.0-0.4.tar.gz. It could potentially use a regex, but I don't know what version scheme might be used next, if an update ever happened. I am open to smart ways to ignore 3.3.0(.*) as opposed to all new versions. I still require this software on a daily basis so the port should be kept. Thanks. Fix: PORTSCOUT= ignore:1
I left out a couple things by accident. 1. This is for the mail/vacation port 2. The current distfile is not fetchable on many mirrors; I suggest modifying DISTNAME as so: DISTNAME= ${PORTNAME}_${PORTVERSION}-0.4 I see no reason to cause a rebuild by modifying PORTVERSION since from the FreeBSD perspective, it is just a tarball re-roll. On the other hand it is very small. I verified the differences were only debian metadata between the two. It will require a new distinfo: SHA256 (vacation_3.3.0-0.4.tar.gz) = 086a3dfde953aa5247a5389fa17f1f77312acd54e3cc74a0369eb363c798b567 SIZE (vacation_3.3.0-0.4.tar.gz) = 11473

i suggest you attach a proper patch. If you do that, I'll commit it for you.

Created attachment 145691 [details] Avoid portscout warnings
I am extremely sorry for letting this lapse. I really appreciate your offer and I hope my attached patch can be committed or reviewed if insufficient. Thank you.
FYI, this needs a portrevision bump, it's changing the package.
A commit references this bug: Author: marino Date: Tue Aug 12 10:24:54 UTC 2014 New revision: 364690 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/364690 Log: mail/vacation: set PORTSCOUT to ignore, switch tarballs There are only minor metadifferences between the new and old tarball, but bump portrevision anyway. PortScout needs to stop looking for updates because they won't come and anything it finds will be a false positive. PR: 187490 Submitted by: maintainer (Adam McDougall) Changes: head/mail/vacation/Makefile head/mail/vacation/distinfo
Okay, it's in. Thanks!
