• [ANN] logmore patch for Motsognir v1.0.11 Gopher server

    From Dario Niedermann@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 24 15:02:00 2019
    Released today, the logmore2.0 patch adds the following features to
    Motsognir v1.0.11:

    + New command line option '--log' allows users to specify either a log
    file, or a syslog local facility number. This option is also available
    as new configuration file directive 'log';

    + a directory specified on the command line is taken to be the
    Gopher root;

    + standard options '--help', '--version'; plus '--license';

    + [NEW in 2.0] 'autoinfo' configuration directive: if set to 1, any
    gophermap line containing no tabs is considered an "info line"
    (no need for an initial 'i');

    * [NEW in 2.0] plus sign '+' characters in a URL are no longer
    translated to spaces by the server; if you want the old behaviour
    back, just remove '-DRFC3986' from the Makefile;

    ! [NEW in 2.0] stricter validation on port number given in config file;

    * [NEW in 2.0] changes to the build/installation process:
    * the Makefile now optimizes `motsognir' for size;
    + new 'install-strip' recipe further reduces the binary's footprint;
    * everything is installed under the '/usr/local' subtree, unless
    otherwise directed (by setting DESTDIR and/or PREFIX);
    ! an existing config file will not be overwritten upon installation;
    + the paths referenced in the supplied init scripts and man page
    are filled in at build time to make sure they match actual
    installation paths;
    * GNU Make is now required.
