On a new install of FreeBSD 11.2 (yeah, newbie first install), after installing and updating portsnap (as directed by https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports-using.html), make install could not download https://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/lib/libx11-1.6.6.tar.bz2. We verified the file did not exist at that location and (hopefully) rectified the situation by: fetch -4 -1 -A https://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/lib/libX11-1.6.6.tar.bz2 cp ibX11-1.6.6.tar.bz2 /usr/ports/distfiles/xorg/libX11 and the re-invoked make install
Moin moin Libx11 is not kde@ domain. Mfg Tobias
Hi! I have to investigate why the distfile has moved. It might be upstream that have changed the layout of their mirror, or perhaps it's just a glitch.
Hi! After looking closer, the file is fetched properly for me. For some reason, you are trying to fetch libx11.tar.bz2 rather than libX11.tar.bz2. Notice the difference in x vs X. The latter is correct. I don't know why this error occurs, can you please verify that nothing has changed in your ports tree? I would also suggest using binary packages with pkg rather than building from ports, unless there's some special configuration you need. Regards Niclas
Hi! There has been no reports of libX11 not being fetchable from the build cluster or from any other user, including myself. The URL you're posting that fails to fetch is trying to fetch libx11 instead of libX11, note the difference between x and X. I don't know why this happens, can you please verify that there are no changes to your ports tree. I'm closing this, if the problem still happens or happens again, please re-open or create another PR.
