[PATCH] gnu: whois: Remove bundled mkpasswd. |
|
Date: |
Tue, 9 Jan 2018 02:01:38 +0100 |
* gnu/packages/networking.scm (whois)[source]: Remove mkpasswd sources in a
snippet.
[native-inputs]: Add gettext.
[arguments]: Add ‘update-po’ phase.
[description]: Remove historical not about bundled mkpasswd.
---
Guix,
A quick TODO item glanced in a recent commit notification, done.
While everything could be done in a single phase, I prefer ripping such
cruft out early. Manually building the modified sources works fine, at
the cost of slightly bloated .po files with some unused strings. It's
unlikely someone will want to unpack this to build mkpasswd...
Then again, it's not a licence issue so I don't really care that much.
Kind regards,
T G-R

As I wrote in my previous message addressing that exact thread, that
would have been nice. No harm done beyond some wasted time.

Yup :-) I've removed the comment in master and am closing the shed.
