Hi folks,
Noticed mention of ncompress used, saw it was unmaintained, occasionally use it
for old sources, although it appears that gzip also decompresses compress .Z,
pack .z, and zip single file formats.
Mike F/vapier has migrated ncompress from SF to Github and updated it.
It is available in Fedora up to date.
I updated the current build URIs to current GH and Fedora, rebuilt current thru
latest versions with patch updates, both locally and on GH scallywag, and got
the tests working, so I would like to adopt ncompress and provide the upgrade.
If accepted, I will follow up patches with current developer.

Available everywhere, sometimes base, sometimes optional:

Thanks. Looks good.
Can you rebase your changes on top of the git history in main/master?

Obviously the first one here is redundant
# $FEDORA/$NAME-4.2.4.4-filenamelen.patch
# $FEDORA/$NAME-4.2.4.4-silence-gcc.patch
# $FEDORA/$NAME-4.2.4.4-make.patch
# $FEDORA/$NAME-4.2.4.4-2GB.patch
# $FEDORA/$NAME-4.2.4.4-endians.patch
# $FEDORA/$NAME-4.2.4.4-memmove.patch
# $FEDORA/$NAME-4.2.4.4-lfs.patch
# $NAME-4.2.4.5-lfs.patch
# $NAME-4.2.4.6-lfs.patch
# ncompress-4.2.4.5-runtests-sh-run-from-build-dir.patch
This doesn't seem to have any value, especially as it's in the history...
I added this to your packages.

Sure; I could not find the ncompress repo when I looked for it, so init-ed a new
one with the standard upstreams.

Never sure if pushes to ncompress/playground would work so kept old stuff around
in case I had to use playground/playground instead.
Will clean up for rebase onto master.
