[Opensc-devel] pam-p11 still exists, unstable download links

[Greg T. <gd...@ir...>]

I am updating opensc-related packages in pkgsrc.

https://opensc-project.org/opensc/wiki/pam_p11
references a download link, but it is 404.   Does it exist?  Should I
delete the package?

A number of packages have unstable URLS like
  https://alioth.debian.org/frs/download.php/file/4140/
I realize alioth probably works that way for a reason, but this causes
two problems:

  It's unncesssarily hard to do updates; just changing the version
  number silently gets the old bits.

  Code that tries to automatically check to see if updates are available
  (see http://www.ki.nu/~makoto/pkgsrc/check-update/00_Summary.html )
  doesn't work, because there the download base URL isn't a directory
  with a bunch of versioned tarballs.

So it would be really nice if the opensc projects had normal
distribution directories.  I'll probably update them anyway even if not :-)
