The following reply was made to PR ports/15734; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Jay Krell" <jay.krell@cornell.edu> To: "Chris D. Faulhaber" <jedgar@fxp.org> Cc: <freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org> Subject: Re: ports/15734: make -i ignores fetch failure, results in"infinite"cd/fork that eventually errors Date: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 06:59:40 -0800 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles still only has the previous version(s). I'm not behind a firewall; I can fetch lots of ports fine. ..ok, I think I solved it, but don't know the right solution yet, whatever it is, it's probably only to spend more time configuring my system.. I dial in to an isp, so afaik don't have a real machine name or domain, just temporary dynamic ip addresses and whatever local machine names I choose, so I set my hostname to just jayk-home1bsd. I guess the password is being sent as jayk@jayk-home1bsd and the ftp server doesn't like that. I verified manually that logging in as jayk@jayk-home1bsd doesn't work but a@b.c does. If I "export FTP_PASSWORD=jay.krell@cornell.edu", fetch works. I guess I should use bsd1@jaykhome.net or something as a hostname.. - Jay >> balsa-0.6.0.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system. >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.balsa.net/pub/balsa/. fetch: ftp.balsa.net: Not logged in >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/. fetch: pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/balsa-0.6.0.tar.gz: cannot get remote modification time fetch: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/balsa-0.6.0.tar.gz: FTP error: fetch: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) >> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this >> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. - Jay -----Original Message----- From: Chris D.
