Hello all. Wanted to point out a point of...difficulty experienced with macports. In case anyone out there is interested in user feedback for how to make it a more friendly experience :)
Got this: $ sudo port install texi2html ---> Computing dependencies for texi2html ---> Fetching texi2html ---> Attempting to fetch texi2html-5.0.tar.bz2 from http://nongnu.askapache.com/texi2html ---> Verifying checksum(s) for texi2html Error: Checksum (md5) mismatch for texi2html-5.0.tar.bz2 Error: Checksum (sha1) mismatch for texi2html-5.0.tar.bz2 Error: Checksum (rmd160) mismatch for texi2html-5.0.tar.bz2 *** The non-matching file appears to be HTML. See this page for possible reasons for the checksum mismatch: <http://trac.macports.org/wiki/MisbehavingServers> *** Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: Unable to verify file checksums Log for texi2html is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_texi2html/main.log Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets> The only problem being...this error message (nor the log file) tell me which server it used to download from, nor give me a hint as to how to use another one. Perhaps it should link to a FAQ entry that discusses this? (for followers, the file was indeed HTML, and manually downloading http://mirrors.zerg.biz/nongnu/texi2html/texi2html-5.0.tar.bz2 *over the top* of that file overcame the problem, but that was hard to figure out--attempting to reinstall always resulted in the same problem, so there didn't appear to be an easy workaround). Thanks! -roger- _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
