Perhaps this port should be marked BROKEN. also the copy of the distfile that's on ftp.freebsd.org should probably be zapped. (PS: I'm back. Sorry for the long absence, but several bad things happened this past month, the worst of which was the need to go in for emergency eye surgery. Then, work at my job piled up during my recovery, school started, I had a family wedding to go to, and I'm still digging myself out from under this mess [but am almost there]. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: rlogin ftp.freebsd.org % su Password: # cd ~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/incoming # rm -f 8hz-mp3.src.v02b.tar.gz >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
