lha.patch

The original website has been closed since around February 2020.
Currently, archivers/lha-ac is active.

Comment 1 mew14930xvi 2025-11-11 08:09:24 UTC
If you want to remove this, you will also need to change Mk/Uses/lha.mk.
archivers/lhasa is also available.

Update WWW.

(In reply to mew14930xvi from comment #2)

Thanks for the changes to master_site.
But is this the official distribution location?

archivers/lha
archivers/lha-ac
archivers/lhasa

Since lha and lha-ac share the same main branch, I think lha should be the one to delete.
Comment 4 Chris Hutchinson 2025-11-12 17:21:19 UTC
archive.org is not a suitable WWW entry. If the port is dead.
It should probably be removed (DEPRECIATED) with a pointer
to a suitable replacement. Else fork the application and
point to it's new location. This is how it's usually handled.
dinoex@ should weigh in on this and make the final determination.

I will update MASTER_SITES

The suggested URL works, but has a bad timestamp.
I found other mirrors but they have low volume.

I put the original on my mirror instead.

archive.org is still a suitable WWW entry
$ rg -t make archive.org/web . | wc -l
