~mil/sxmo-tickets#538: 
Forking github.com/Orange-OpenSource/pn

This is one of the core components that makes up the SMS and calling scripts, see e.g. grep -r sxmo-utils -Iwe pn

Upstream seemingly has no interest in working on the project anymore and has archived it, thus I propose we fork the project for the purpose of maintenance and possible enhancements we might like to do such as:

About naming, we could rename it to something like pnc for pn continued or get in contact with upstream to keep the naming if possible to avoid having to update existing scripts.

Imho the renaming will be more clear to users in case we add features to the tool later that the original didn't have, and we could keep a symlink like ln -s pnc /usr/bin/pn (or wrapper script with warning about rename in stderr after updating sxmo-utils existing scripts etc.)

I support a fork. We should probably change the name and move the project to sourcehut.

I also support a fork!

The fork of pn is called pnc and lives here: https://git.sr.ht/~anjan/pnc

I went through and renamed most of the files from "pn" -> "pnc". Except for the gawk scripts. Ill do those later. Next, we need to go through Sxmo and change "pn" to "pnc". If anyone has time to do that or is working on it, please let me know.

Cool, are patches to pnc expected to be sent at https://lists.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-devel with subject [PATCH pnc] ...?
