>Number: 37811 >Category: ports >Synopsis: Change required to SourceForge FTP site >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-ports >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Mon May 06 19:00:02 PDT 2002 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: David Jones >Release: 4.5-RELEASE >Organization: >Environment: n/a >Description: SourceForge has recently re-organized their download area. A reference to a file of the form http://prdownload.sourceforget.net/dir/blah.tar.gz now gets you a web page requesting that you select a mirror. It then appears that either redirection or JavaScript is used to perform the download. As a result, any port whose makefile uses MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE will be unable to retrieve its files. The web page that it retrieves instead will fail checksum, and the port install will abort. >How-To-Repeat: cd /usr/ports/lang/tcl8.3 make install >Fix: Edit in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk: Remove all references to sourceforge.net except for telia.dl.sourceforge.net. You may want to add unc.dl.sourceforge.net as an alternate as well. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
