rsnapshot: not distributable

[burner1024 (Ilya Ivanov)]

Looking at ​https://packages.macports.org, there's just no rsnapshot directory anymore. Obviously, update fails.

$ macports-infra/jobs/port_binary_distributable.tcl -v rsnapshot
"rsnapshot" is not distributable because its license "GPL-2" conflicts with license "GPL-3+" of dependency "gdbm"

Are you forcing use of binary packages in macports.conf? Normally, port should fall back to build from source when no package can be fetched.

[burner1024 (Ilya Ivanov)]

Yes. But I'm pretty sure it was there from the beginning (of installng ports).

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

Maybe some older version was distributable, but the resulting binary archive has been purged since then? In any case, this must have been a long time ago.

You would have to allow building from source for rsnapshot (sudo port -s install rsnapshot). In case you really do not want to build from source, you would have to contribute a patch that makes rsnapshot distributable. Is the rsnapshot license really GPL-2 only and it does not include the "or any later version" phrase that would make it GPL-2+?

I actually forgot I had set this option in the conf file. I wish the error message was more informative. The patch would only be a change to Portfile, correct?
