Description Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-10-13 07:09:54 UTC
Please fix port or should we sunset it?
Comment 1 Fernando Apesteguía freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-10-13 11:10:48 UTC
Actually it fetches:

===>  License BSD2CLAUSE accepted by the user
===>   peps-2.0_9 depends on file: /usr/local/sbin/pkg - found
=> peps-2.0.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /data/fernape_data/FreeBSD-repos/ports/distfiles/.
=> Attempting to fetch http://peps.redprince.net/peps/peps-2.0.tar.gz
fetch: http://peps.redprince.net/peps/peps-2.0.tar.gz: Host does not resolve
=> Attempting to fetch ftp://ftp.peps.redprince.net/unix/peps/peps-2.0.tar.gz
fetch: ftp://ftp.peps.redprince.net/unix/peps/peps-2.0.tar.gz: Host does not resolve
=> Attempting to fetch http://distcache.FreeBSD.org/ports-distfiles/peps-2.0.tar.gz
peps-2.0.tar.gz                                         54 kB  539 kBps    00s
===> Fetching all distfiles required by peps-2.0_9 for building

Since this fetches (that is the reason doceng@ wasn't informed via pkg-fallout messages), I would give upstream some time just in case there was some hiccup on its side. If not, we would need to deprecate the port and do the same with textproc/docproj-legacy (or at least find an alternative)
Comment 2 Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-10-13 11:22:58 UTC
Relying on distcache is not a "fix", having a quick look it seem like it can be replaced with ImageMagick (Ghostscript support is needed for eps)
Comment 3 Fernando Apesteguía freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-10-13 11:24:03 UTC
(In reply to Daniel Engberg from comment #2)
Sorry, when did I say fix?
Comment 4 Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-10-13 11:28:33 UTC
By that I meant that relying on distcache isn't really "fetchable" as once we wipe the cache it's gone.
Comment 5 Fernando Apesteguía freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-12-10 17:13:33 UTC
Done
