The linux-flashplugin7 port distfile is no longer fetchable from adobe's website as specified in the port, plus all occurrences in ports/distfiles on all FreeBSD mirrors seem to have been removed. Many people still prefer v7 over v9 due to stability problems with the latter. Fix: Adobe have reworked the download section for old releases of the flash player and the whole of v7 (and other versions) is available for all architectures as a single zip file. I guess the solution is to download this large file (> 30MB) and pick out the linux file, or perhaps extract the linux distro and put it up on the FreeBSD sites at least. Note, the file included in the zip is different in size and checksum to the one referenced by distinfo in the port. The download page for all archived versions of flash player is: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1 The v7 file is: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp7_archive.zip How-To-Repeat: Try to build www/linux-flashplugin7.

Thanks Callum for pointing this out, and also locating the distfile. I include the diff to update the port accordingly. Until we can get clear permission to distribute the particular distfile (it's in discussion at the moment) I had to go with the port downloading the complete archive file from the adobe site. Cheers, Jamie
