On Sat, Sep 12, 2009 at 01:57:07PM +0100 I heard the voice of Matthew Seaman, and lo! it spake thus: > > Despite the problems you report, it seems to work fine from here. It doesn't work fine when you use fetch -A, which ports does for the fetch target. I had to do the same thing (manually dereference to the launchpadlibrarian.net URL) for the bazaar-ng and bzrtools ports. It's a ugly PITA. I wish ports just followed the redirects; we have SIZE and 2 checksums to tell us if it points to something we don't want. But who wants to start THAT flamefest? -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
