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.

Thanks. Looks good.
Can you rebase your changes on top of the git history in main/master?
FEDORA=http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/$NAME.git/plain
FEDORA=https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ncompress/raw/f39/f
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.
