Hostap git repository URL has changed and needs an update
In progress, HighPublicBUG
Actions

Description

package.toml refers to a currently nonworking git server at git://w1.fi/srv/git/hostap.git. I think it might be better to use the https URL as they suggest which does work.

Also, the build_cmd tries to call the nonexisting program “y” which I suspect was meant to be the ancient “yes” utility. The build is getting away with it because nothing is actually expecting any “y” responses for now, but it may as well get fixed.
