That certainly is the correct mid- and long-term solution to any given occurence. It still leaves the port broken from the disappearance of the previous distfile until the maintainer has time to update the port. That is likely to be a not-insignificant length of time, because we cannot reasonably expect port maintainers -- who are usually volunteers -- to drop everything in order to immediately fix this sort of problem. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
