xfig @3.2.5c_0, transfig @3.2.5d_5: update available to 3.2.6, transfig renamed fig2dev

Port: xfig transfig

Description (last modified by larryv (Lawrence Velázquez))

As the new maintainer of xfig and transfig, please note that the upstream locations of the xfig and fig2dev, formerly transfig, software packages are now

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mcj/files/xfig-3.2.6.tar.xz

and

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mcj/files/fig2dev-3.2.6.tar.xz

respectively.

The transfig-package has been renamed to fig2dev, because this is really what it is. In fact, the transfig-program itself is considered obsolete, therefore it has to be specifically built with the configure-switch --enable-transfig.

Build and installation can now be done with

./configure --disable-dependency-tracking

for fig2dev and

./configure --disable-dependency-tracking --with-appdefaultdir=/opt/X11/share/X11/app-defaults

for xfig. Then, do make -j; make install-strip

Optionally, make check and make installcheck are both supported.

Please, report success on building or any difficulties you might encounter.

Yours,
Thomas Loimer
