Attached is a patch for HylaFAX+ 7.0.11 updating it to Patch Revision 1.
Changes in this patch:
- Update the URL to point to the copyright information for HylaFAX+.
- Update faxsetup to generate a functional Fontmap.HylaFAX file for
OpenBSD
- Tweak some other settings in faxsetup
- Tweak settings in hylafax script
- Removal of patch to disable threaded logging on OpenBSD
- New RC script (hylafax) to start and stop the faxq & hfaxd services
together
- Update PLIST permissions to include some executable scripts missed
earlier
To update your existing Fontmap.HylaFAX file, simply run;
/usr/local/sbin/faxsetup -client
This has been tested on OpenBSD 7.9-stable amd64.
