Hi I recently tried to build ksh93 from ports and it seems that a couple of URLs are broken, mainly the one over at AT&T research: ====>> Building shells/ksh93 [...] =======================<phase: fetch >============================ ===> License EPL accepted by the user => INIT.2013-05-24.tgz doesn't seem to exist in /distfiles/ksh93. => Attempting to fetch http://www.research.att.com/~gsf/download/tgz/INIT.2013-05-24.tgz fetch: http://www.research.att.com/~gsf/download/tgz/INIT.2013-05-24.tgz: Not Found => Attempting to fetch http://ftp.ch.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/INIT.2013-05-24.tgz fetch: http://ftp.ch.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/INIT.2013-05-24.tgz: Not Found => Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this => port manually into /distfiles/ksh93 and try again. *** Error code 1 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/ports/shells/ksh93 ===> Cleaning for ksh93-20120801_2 I could imagine that after Dave Korn (dgk) and Glenn Fowler (gsf) have been laid off by AT&T labs in autumn 2013 that gsf's folder where the download points to, has been deleted lately recently. AT&T's download page still work, however they require a authentication password implying accepting the EPL license (http://www2.research.att.com/sw/download/)
I'm not enough familiar with the structure of the ports tree but at least MacPorts seems to be using the AT&T main site with the password: https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/shells/ksh93/Portfile Do we have something equivalent to fetch.user and fetch.password as they have? -- Mat
Over to maintainer.
