When the sites in MASTER_SITES have been exhausted, the ports system resorts to trying from one of the FreeBSD distfile masters, which should almost always contain a copy of the tarball. Case in point: icarus# make fetch => mod-cband-0.9.7.5.tgz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/apache2. => Attempting to fetch from http://cband.linux.pl/download/. fetch: http://cband.linux.pl/download/mod-cband-0.9.7.5.tgz: No address record => Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/apache2/. mod-cband-0.9.7.5.tgz 100% of 69 kB 293 kBps Does this not work for you? > Also, I wonder what the long-term solution for this would be?

Thanks for your time. No one knows how to reach the author of mod_cband. The only Email address made available was at the site which is now down. This isn't really FreeBSD's "problem", though. There isn't much the FreeBSD ports folks can do about reviving the cband.linux.pl site. :-) -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
