From the Makefile: MASTER_SITES= ftp://avian.org/src/hacks/ \ ftp://coast.cs.purdue.edu/pub/mirrors/avian.org/netcat/ \ ftp://zippy.telcom.arizona.edu/pub/mirrors/avian.org/hacks/ \ ftp://ftp.sterling.com/mirrors/avian.org/src/hacks/ \ ftp://ftp.rge.com/pub/security/coast/mirrors/avian.org/netcat/ However.. [roam@ringwraith ~]$ ftp ftp> o avian.org ftp: connect: Connection refused ftp> o coast.cs.purdue.edu Connected to kargad.cerias.purdue.edu. 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection. ftp> o zippy.telecom.arizona.edu ftp: zippy.telcom.arizona.edu: No address associated with hostname ftp> o ftp.sterling.com ftp: connect: Operation timed out ftp> o ftp.rge.com Connected to web.rge.com. 220 FTP server ready. Name (ftp.rge.com:roam): ^Cftp> ftp> OK, so the last one works ;) (I'd be surprised if ftp.rge.com was down..) >How-To-Repeat: cd /usr/ports/net/netcat; make fetch >Fix: A quick websearch on nc110.tgz finds it on l0pht's website (www.l0pht.com), with a text by Weld which sounds almost like an author/maintainer's speech. I'm not really clear on who's netcat's author - the Hobbit within all the source's comments, or l0pht's Weld - or even whether they are one and the same person.. Still, l0pht's site seems a good master-site candidate. --- ports/net/netcat/Makefile Fri Jul 28 12:49:24 2000 +++ myports/net/netcat/Makefile Fri Jul 28 12:52:27 2000 @@ -9,10 +9,7 @@ PORTNAME= netcat PORTVERSION= 1.10 CATEGORIES= net -MASTER_SITES= ftp://avian.org/src/hacks/ \ - ftp://coast.cs.purdue.edu/pub/mirrors/avian.org/netcat/ \ - ftp://zippy.telcom.arizona.edu/pub/mirrors/avian.org/hacks/ \ - ftp://ftp.sterling.com/mirrors/avian.org/src/hacks/ \ +MASTER_SITES= http://www.l0pht.com/users/10pht/ \ ftp://ftp.rge.com/pub/security/coast/mirrors/avian.org/netcat/ DISTNAME= nc110 EXTRACT_SUFX= .tgz >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
