On my 10.13.2 with lynx @2.8.8rel.2_2,

$ touch A
$ lynx ./
m
"Modify name, location, or permission (n, l, or p):"
n
"Enter new name for file: A"
B[Enter]

either renames A to B or crashes.
I didn't spot any pattern in the behaviour.

(Why do you use lynx to rename files?
 Why does lynx even have this feature?)

Great. So update the macport of lynx with his patch.
Or at least post a link here showing the diff that fixes this.

Your English is fine! Thanks for the reproduction recipe. I didn't know lynx 
had file management capabilities built in.

I can reproduce this problem. I have determined that it was fixed between 
2.8.9dev.2 and 2.8.9dev.3. I can't find a public repository of lynx source code 
so I will try to create a patch that we can use in MacPorts.

Fixed:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/f947f65dcab13e251bde4223352158a6c5b5afc7
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/bd43496f7f42178f9263b56f846a330a2d490f5c

It should be available in MacPorts within an hour.

I've also sent an email to the developer of lynx asking them to release a new 
stable version of lynx containing this fix.

macports open-source games - any suggestions for missing ports?

[Ken Cunningham]

Hello all,

I’ve been working on bringing MacPorts various open-source games  up to date 
over the past year or so, and adding whatever new ones seemed popular and 
worthwhile, and updating older ones. 

Quite often, using MacPorts allows a broader array of systems to be able to run 
these games than the default offerings available from the various download 
sites.

I think our list is looking pretty reasonable at the moment.  Perhaps I can set 
up some kind of page listing the current offerings, which systems can run them, 
and showing some screen shots to give an idea of what is on offer.

I’m curious if there are any suggestions or requests for something currently 
missing from MacPorts that people would like to see.

Here’s a website, for example, that indicates a list of the top open source 
games >  Anything people are 
pining for?

Ken

openttd needs a minor update, if you have time.

openrct2 would be nice to have, even though it's not playable without
the original assets.
