I also see that MASTER_SITE_COMP_SOURCES has been removed from Mk/bsd.sites.mk. A quick seach shows the following sites still hosting comp.sources, are any of these acceptable to use as the master sites? http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/usenet/ftp.uu.net/comp.sources.unix/ http://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/comp.sources.unix/ http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/archive/comp.sources.unix/ http://ftp.fi.netbsd.org/pub/misc/archive/comp.sources.unix/ Thanks, -SR On 7 Apr, linimon@FreeBSD.org wrote: > As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of problems in > the FreeBSD ports system, we periodically notify users of ports > that are marked as "broken" in their Makefiles.
