There is a new maintainer, Hendrik Sattler and the sources are held
at gitorius.org. Build is changed to CMake and although it does not appear
in the ChangeLog below, I forwarded all the NetBSD related patches that
pkgsrc had (and more in fact, to get it working) although I would still say
that obexapp is the better program.

developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
The overall goal of ObexFTP is to make mobile devices featuring the OBEX
protocol and adhering to the OBEX FTP standard accessible by an open source
implementation.
The common usage for ObexFTP is to access your mobile phones memory to
store and retrieve e.g. your phonebook, logos, ringtones, music, pictures
and alike.
