I'm using FreeBSD 10.1 and can't install this port because it was marked as "Unfetchable". I did a quick google search and found FileWatcher which references a stack of FreeBSD mirror sites all still containing the latest release of 'mrundlg'. I downloaded the first one from the list, placed it in the distfiles directory and commented the #BROKEN line from the Makefile. I could then successfully do make install clean without problems. Couldn't the MASTER_SITES= simply point to one of these mirrors? The mrundlg might be an old application, but it still works and is very useful for people running a FreeBSD desktop with only a window manager (not bloated desktop environment).

(In reply to graemeg from comment #5) >Couldn't the MASTER_SITES= simply point to one of these mirrors? No. It's a circular reference. It might fetch if the the distfile is cached, but you can't refer to the "cache" as the master site.
in fact, that is what the port is doing, but it's not allowed and thus considered broken. When somebody cares enough to host the distfile and/or maintain the port it can be restored.
Fair enough. Could I then create a 'mrundlg' project on Github, add the existing code there, as well as the current release archive? I could supply you with the direct download URL to the release archive. I guess at the same time I could apply the existing patch, found in ports, to the source code too, and then bump the release version number. Thanks for the quick response. Regards, Graeme
