The port requires that you manually fetch the distfiles from http://www.socks.nec.com/cgi-bin/download.pl (the needed file is: socks5-v1.0r11.tar.gz) The URL doesn't appear to link or contain the needed distfile. I've sent a couple of emails to their support@ address which they have not responded to. Is this a situation where the port needs to be marked broken, and if so how would I go about it? (The porters handbook doesn't seem to cover broken ports, link me if I'm wrong about this) Thanks for the help (I'm still green when it comes to maintaining ports) Josh Paetzel
