Could I perhaps make a feature request for something like "--use-your-second-choice-server" or "--use-a-random-server" or "--use-a-known-stable-server" perhaps something like one of those? Might make overcoming temporary network failure easier :) I suppose another option might be to "try with the preferred server, if that fails, automatically delete it and try with a different server, then if that fails give up" or something along those lines... > The problem appears to be that nongnu.askapache.com has been replaced with > generic pages, whose checksums of course do not match the checksums of the > desired distfile.

I just looked again today and things "appear" normal for that server again, so I suppose you could re-add it. It might also be kind to setup some monitoring system that checks for failed servers daily :) I also updated the wiki page with instructions on how to manually overcome this so at least there's a work around in place. Thanks again for your work on this stuff. -roger- _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
