Description

The livecheck for aalib was broken. I've disabled it for now, but in the very unlikely event that aalib is ever updated (last update was 17 years ago), it would be good to fix the livecheck.

I wouldn't so much say the aalib livecheck was broken, as I would say that the most recent changes that were made to the sourceforge livecheck are broken, in that they don't accommodate versions that contain letters, which is the case with aalib here. I've noticed that problem with other ports before, such as libpng.

I suggest reverting the disabling of aalib's livecheck and fixing the sourceforge livecheck instead. Unfortunately, last time I looked into how that might be accomplished, I could not determine a good way to do so, short of reverting those changes too, which would of course reintroduce whatever problems those most recent changes were intended to fix. Cc'ing Dave who made the most recent changes there, and Rainer who made a different attempt at a fix there shortly before.

I'm certainly in favor of fixing the underlying problem, especially given that it hits other things.
