Generally you should look at the contents of the HTML file to figure out what generated

indeed.

all sources for TCPDF-5.9.074.tgz are a HTML file pointing to peazhub.org and 
that domain is For Sale.

has a download for version 6.2.13 available at his own site 
https://github.com/tecnickcom/TCPDF.git

i know how to create a local port file for a modified installation.
but the current portfile has as contents:
---
# -*- coding: utf-8; mode: tcl; tab-width: 4; indent-tabs-mode: nil; 
c-basic-offset: 4 -*- vim:fenc=utf-8:ft=tcl:et:sw=4:ts=4:sts=4

and i dont know what 'pear.setup' should do.

do you have any suggestions?

thanks.

(Keeping replies on the list.)

The version on GitHub doesn't appear to be available as a PEAR package, so the pear portgroup probably won't help much anyway. So I would guess pear-TCPDF should be deleted and a new port should be created named TCPDF or perhaps php-TCPDF, which would install in whatever way is usual. (I don't know much about PHP packaging, sorry.)
