news/slrn 0.9.9p1 exhibits connection drops to servers

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

I was having difficulty maintaining connections to news.supernews.com with this version of slrn. I noticed there's a new version of slrn (1.0.1) that was released 12/2012. I tried that, and it seems to work fine. I think just refreshing the port might do the trick.

Example:

Run slrn and try to subscribe to comp.text.tex. Try to download all the current articles. It works for awhile and then:

slrn fatal error:
Server connection to news.supernews.com lost.  Cannot recover.

Hm, the livecheck for this port seems to be broken:

port livecheck slrn
slrn seems to have been updated (port version: 0.9.9p1, new version: 0.9.8.1)

(It should be reporting 1.0.1 for the new version, not 0.9.8.1)

I've added a changed portfile for the new version.

When/how will I see this change? I just performed:

$ port list slrn
slrn                           @0.9.9p1        news/slrn

I expected to see the new version there.

I run port selfupdate nightly.

@olaf: In the future, please instead attach a unified diff of the Portfile so we can see what changes you made.
