- Description:
- signal-cli is a command-line interface for libsignal-service-java. It supports
registering, verifying, sending and receiving messages. To be able to link to
an existing Signal-Android/signal-cli instance, signal-cli uses a patched
libsignal-service-java, because libsignal-service-java does not yet support
provisioning as a slave device. For registering you need a phone number where
you can receive SMS or incoming calls. signal-cli is primarily intended to be
used on servers to notify admins of important events. For this use-case, it has
a dbus interface, that can be used to send messages from any programming
language that has dbus bindings.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Update to 0.8.1
- Switch to depending on upstream tarballs for all the JAR files this port
needs. Since 0.8.0, the upstream switched to a Kotlin-based Gradle file,
which broke the Gradle dependency resolution mechanism implemented in
files/build.gradle.in. It is unproductive to fix that script. Let's just
use the provided JAR files.
- Java is no longer used to during build, so set JAVA_RUN=jre.

net-im/signal-cli: Include patches bringing B-Bus support
This commit updates dbus-java and its dependencies to 3.2.2, which includes
patches contributed by grembo@, which make signal-cli work nicely with
D-Bus on FreeBSD. It is a great thing because now it is possible to use
various TUI clients for Signal.
Additionally, we include an rc(8) service now, which allows users to run
signal-cli as a system service if they desire to use D-Bus system bus to
talk to signal-cli.
Other changes:
- Make _get-links depend on patch instead of extract (sometimes we need to
patch Gradle config files to get the versions we really want).
- Introduce ORIGINAL_BUILD_GRADLE variable for robustness.
- Put some documentation into pkg-message to help users start using
signal-cli.
- Set JAVA_HOME in the signal-cli script; it is a bug fix.
Special thanks to: grembo@ |
