Sometimes (not often) when installing ports from the ports collection or
upgrading ports (via portupgrade -R) when fetching some needed tar.gz
file, the fetch hangs, just like now:
=> rdiff-backup-1.2.6.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in
/usr/ports/distfiles/.
=> Attempting to fetch from
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/rdiff-backup/.
fetch:
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup-1.2.6.tar.gz:
Moved Temporarily
=> Attempting to fetch from
http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/.
rdiff-backup-1.2.6.tar.gz 43% of 191 kB 107 kBps
This is now immobile for over an hour ...
Up to now when such a hang occured, I just waited and waited and
eventually it would continue and finish the job.
But, is there a safe way to do a retry?
I dare not just do a Ctrl-C and issue
# portupgrade -R rdiff-backup
again, since I have no no clue what could go wrong if one does that ...
Or is it save to do Ctrl-C and try again?
