Look in src/Makefile.in at the "install-exec-local" target. That's where 
the "rm -f " commands are coming from. Some have $(DESTDIR) and 
those should be OK. Others do not, and those fail because they try to rm 
straight from /sw.  You can either fix the 'rm -f' commands to all have 
a leading $(DESTDIR), or frankly, you can probably delete or comment 
them out since $(DESTDIR) is guaranteed to be empty for Fink since it is 
created from scratch every build and so rm is unneeded.

Re: [Fink-devel] curl download flags

[Scott Hannahs]

Alexander,

Thanks.  Even the regular http:// URL fails with curl and still defaults to an 
SSL certificate verification  for some reason.  It seems to find the old source 
under Mac OS 10.11 but fails under Mac OS 10.12. I will temporarily host it for 
awhile.  The source has not been touched for many many years but still compiles 
and functions under 10.12 Xcode 8.3.

I suppose I should have looked in old packages for this.  It is a very simple 
package and mine is not much different from the 10.4 version.

No.

The easiest option is to host the package source somewhere yourself.  This can 
be temporary until the mirror system picks it up, at which time you can specify 
mirror:master:/lrzsz-0.12.20.tar.gz as the Source.

If you don’t happen to have temporary host space, Fink has an area where we 
host sources that can’t be downloaded from their original URL for whatever 
reason.

There’s actually a Fink package description for this already:

http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/lrzsz 
 , downloadable via 
http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fink/dists/10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/net/lrzsz.info?revision=1.1
 

 if you don’t have a 10.4 tree checkout handy.

The existing packaging uses Source: 
http://www.ohse.de/uwe/releases/%n-%v.tar.gz 
 .  Does that no longer work? 
 If not, then I’d recommend copying the source elsewhere.  Unless the developer 
changed the license since the Fink package was made, it’s distributed under the 
GPL so that’s permitted.

[Fink-devel] curl download flags

[shannahs]

Fink Folks,

I am trying to create a package for a very old bit of software.  It seems that 
the hosting original URL for download has an expired certificate.  This causes 
the fink download to fail when asked to download from the original URL.

So, in pushing the envelope I tried:
Source: --insecure https://ohse.de/uwe/releases/%n-%v.tar.gz

to put a source curl flag in the command.  However fink is careful to escape 
the embedded space and it doesn’t work.
curl --connect-timeout 30 -f -L -A 'fink/0.41.1' -O --insecure\ 
https://ohse.de/uwe/releases/lrzsz-0.12.20.tar.gz

Is there a flag for source curl commands for downloading?  How should I deal 
with the need for an insecure download.

For reference the software does X/Y/ZMODEM protocol for data transmission.  
Some old instruments need this for communication.

program lrzsz
Web site: https://ohse.de/uwe/software/lrzsz.html

Any advice on how to develop and test this?

-Scott
