The MASTER_SITES of http://matt.sixxgate.com resolves to a parking site so the distfile is unfetchable.

Comment 5 graemeg 2015-06-17 13:20:48 UTC 
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).

The FileWatcher URL:  http://www.filewatcher.com/m/mrundlg-1.0.tar.bz2.4873-1.html

(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.
Comment 7 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-06-17 13:31:08 UTC 
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.
Comment 8 graemeg 2015-06-17 13:34:37 UTC 
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
