availability of distfiles
Hi. I have a question regarding how distfiles become available to the ports tree. For example, on freshports it says that a version is available (since March 28) for a given port. When I attempt to install the port (make install clean) I see that FreeBSD is trying to find the distfile for the same version but it fails. When I manually take a look at the distfile location the version indeed does not exist. So how can this happen? __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Newer version exists? Version change backed out due to security issues? performance issues? Distfiles moved ... (see first one above) Need better MASTER_SITE variable? Really, one can only guess. You didn't say _which_ port, for starters. Bill Fenner does some work on this: see: http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/portsurvey/bad.html HTH, Kevin Kinsey -- Love the sea?

Yes (see ports(7)), but it won't help since none of them will have it; by FreeBSD mirrors I include ftp-master, the site from which all others update.

The gzip file seems to only contain upgrade.txt anyway. I've heard patience is a virtue, but I've trouble with it, myself.
