The port fetches fine here: jedgar@earth:/usr/ports/mail/balsa$ make fetch >> balsa-0.6.0.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system. >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.balsa.net/pub/balsa/. Receiving balsa-0.6.0.tar.gz (837147 bytes): 100% 837147 bytes transferred in 165.9 seconds (4.93 Kbytes/s) jedgar@earth:/usr/ports/mail/balsa$ According to the PR: 1) you were not able to fetch the DISTFILES from ftp.balsa.net; are you behind a firewall or something that is having problems with ftp? 2) DISTFILES not found at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles; the DISTFILES are usually moved over a few days after the port is updated and tests properly. Unfortunately, neither Balsa's website, the Gnome website, nor any of the files in the DISTFILES list a mirror site. If you can come up with a mirror site that works, I'm sure we can add it to the port's Makefile, otherwise, I'm not sure what else can be done. ----- Chris D.
