Hi, https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head@517110 x11-wm/compiz-plugins-unsupported unfetchable. This also breaks compiz-fusion if unsupported is selected from its make config
I maintain one of the compiz plugins, myself, and this caught my eye too. A quick check seems to indicate that this plugin is still available on it's designated MASTER_SITES. Why is it marked BROKEN (unfetchable)? Thanks for looking into this! :-) --Chris
It's not fetchable. If it does for you, then you are fetching it from the FreeBSD mirrors (which are *not* intended as primary sources) or you have cached the distribution files locally. rene@e17:/usr/ports/x11-wm/compiz-plugins-unsupported % make checksum TRYBROKEN=yes MASTER_SITE_BACKUP= /!\ compiz-plugins-unsupported-0.8.8_6: Makefile warnings, please consider fixing /!\ USE_GL=yes is deprecated, please add USE_GL=glu (default) or specify component ===> NOTICE: This port is deprecated; you may wish to reconsider installing it: Broken for more than 6 months.

So this port is actually broken, and no fix is provided. Closing this as invalid.
(In reply to Rene Ladan from comment #2) Hello, Rene. With due respect. I'm looking at the directory index at releases.compiz.org right this very moment. I am easily able to download the release/version required by this port. The check sums also line up. I have no idea why others (including you?) are unable to fetch(1) it. OTOH if it still doesn't even work. That's another matter.
OK I did a bit more research and discovered they now apparently live here: https://launchpad.net/compiz I cloned the repo, and the packed-refs indicate the entire history from 0.2.0 - 0.9.14. But interestingly; the 0.8.x series is completely missing. I'll try to get more info. It might be worth a look into actually creating a 9-series port. :-) That's it for now. --Chris
FWIW, a further developed compiz 0.8.x series is available on GitHub: https://github.com/compiz-reloaded/compiz-plugins-experimental. So are most of the other previously on http://releases.compiz.org/0.8.4/ hosted: https://github.com/compiz-reloaded/.
