X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2005 21:57:05 -0000 Hello, While doing 'portupgrade -a', I regulary experience problems while fetching KDE distfiles from the first host in the MASTER_SITE_KDE list (in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk), ftp.scarlet.be. This site apparently stalls connections (instead of dropping them?), which slows down a portupgrade -a with KDE components considerably. Removing the first two entries from the MASTER_SITE_KDE list which point to ftp.scarlet.be is a work-around that solves this problem. Is there a more permanent way to drop this site without having to manually edit bsd.sites.mk after every cvsup of the ports tree? Some magic variable to set in /etc/rc.conf or so? Any idea? Thanks, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
