>Description:
chat/line-purple should be disabled or deleted in current and stable pkgsrc.
Apparently, LINE started banning the accounts of people who use 3rd party applications, (see http://altrepo.eu/git/purple-line), which this package is. This can result in the loss of all your contacts and account information.
The original developer of this software broke his build on purpose:
http://altrepo.eu/git/purple-line/commit/1a07012f75d8e86077690d73917b3759fbe9b52c
I'm not sure of the preferred pkgsrc way to handle these kind of cases.
Is it just to add
BROKEN="some reason"
to the pkgsrc Makefile and increment the version?
I don't really have a preference to disable or delete, just wanted to know the "correct" pkgsrc way to handle.
I can do the work in a week or two, or if someone else wants to handle this feel free.
Thanks
