The following reply was made to PR ports/120082; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Simun Mikecin <numisemis@yahoo.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/120082: [MAINTAINER UPDATE] lang/see[-devel]: update to new versions Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2008 05:17:48 -0800 (PST) MASTER_SITES in lang/see-devel is setup to use MASTER_SITES_LOCAL. Reason for this is that distfile required is only available using links (torrent and HTTP URL) on the SEE Author's homepage (http://www.adaptive-enterprises.com.au/~d/software/see/). As far as I know torrent isn't usable by fetch(1) and HTTP link to the distfile on the homepage is very slow and the SEE Author's request was not to use it for MASTER_SITES cause of the possibility of saturating the link. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
