>Description:
The /usr/ports/net/rwhois port should be updated to rwhois 1.5.9
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

This is just a miscellaneous reminder mostly.  I checked in CVS and the
rwhois port has had no work on it for a year, it still calls for the
rwhoisd-1.5.7.3.tar.gz package, but the RWhois people are now up to
version 1.5.9 and the older version is no longer on most of the archive
sites.

Also for what it's worth the build of the 1.5.7.3 port throws the following
error:

search.c: In function `search':
search.c:540: warning: passing arg 2 of `Log' makes integer from pointer without
 a cast

It also complains about warning: mktemp() possibly used unsafely; consider using
 mkstemp() in several places as well.

One other thing of interest possibly - when I built rwhoisd 1.5.9 just for
grins I tried applying the existing patches for 1.5.7 to it.

The following patches still applied to it:

/usr/ports/net/rwhois/files/patch-aa
/usr/ports/net/rwhois/files/patch-ae

The rest of the patches failed with various error messages, some of
them had a few hunks that still applied however.
