Build Identifier: 

turl is a command-line interface to http://metamark.net (for making
http://xlr.us tiny URLs).  It is similar to 'nopaste' in functionality.

It is currently in the Sunrise overlay.

Reproducible: Always

turl-0.1.ebuild
Comment 2 N. Dan Smith 2007-01-26 00:28:45 UTC
Had to change the name of the package to 'surl' since another similar program already has the name 'turl' (http://myturl.com/).

Sorry Dan, looks like this is a different surl.
Comment 8 Nathan Phillip Brink (binki) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-04-29 17:56:23 UTC
There is a different project now in portage under the same name. The project now in portage is hosted on launchpad. Here's more info on the name conflict:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2806005&group_id=188892&atid=927140

I suggest that this bug be closed as upstream for http://sf.net/projects/surl seems inactive as far as I have seen so far. For example, the project lists its homepage as http://ndansmith.net/surl which seems a fishy site atm...

The in-sunrise copy will be masked for removal from sunrise. This is to avoid the name conflict and in response to http://ndansmith.net/ being dead (fix your email, Nathan!). The alternative, renaming the surl package and its installed binaries, seems to undermine surl's purpose ;-)
Comment 9 Nathan Smith 2010-04-30 04:57:08 UTC
I was the surl package maintainer on SourceForge, and I am the person who originally added this package to sunrise. My former domain ndansmith.net has been registered by an enterprising spammer (including some copyright violation, what fun), so I cannot recover the account which originally filed this bug. In other words, you'll have to trust me that I'm the same person that originally opened this bug. I do still have control of the SF account which maintains the package, so I'll be responding to the issue posted there.

Removing surl from sunrise is fine by me. The launchpad package is vastly superior to mine, and I'm glad to see it in the main tree. :-)
