Hi all,

While working to solve the problems with building the latest version of=20
autoconf I also had to have a look at lcd4linux. I solved the build=20
problems but I thought I should let everyone know what I found about the=20
status of this addon, in case you are not aware.

I found lcd4linux in Sourceforge but the last version there was 0.10.0=20
while the current version is a svn version of 0.11.0

There was a link saying "As of 2006-10-08, this project can be found=20
here". I followed the link "http://lcd4linux.bulix.org/" and it=20
redirected to a web site "https://www.bulix.org/" that no longer=20
mentions lcd4linux.

I found a link for a download=20
"https://ssl.bulix.org/projects/lcd4linux/attachment/wiki/Download/lcd4linux-=
0.10.1-RC2.tar.gz"=20
but this comes up with a 404 Not Found error. The same error applies for=20
any part of that URL.

It looks like lcd4linux is no longer being supported but also all the=20
download and documentation after version 0.10.0 have been removed.

It might be time to consider retiring this addon from IPFire.


Regards,

Adolf.
