Description stenn 2014-06-24 04:21:58 UTC 
textproc/glimpse was MOVED with a reason:

textproc/glimpse||2014-04-11|Has expired: No more public distfiles

but glimpse 4.18.6 is available at http://webglimpse.net/trial/glimpse-latest.tar.gz

Am I missing something?

yes, you are missing something.

The MASTER_SITES was defined as "LOCAL/beech" not " http://webglimpse.net/trial/"

distfiles available means it's where the port says it is, not that somewhere in the world there is a copy.



The other problem is that this port was/is unmaintained.  There is a policy not to review unmaintained ports (yes, even if it was removed in haste).  If you want it resurrected and are willing to be the new maintainer, provide a shar of the entire test port and I'll bring it back for you.

submitter never followed up, so port remains dead.
