I think bapt's point is that it's ONLY fetchable from the FreeBSD
mirror -- we're not project hosts, and a lack of fetchable distfile
usually indicates a dead upstream.
And that is not being broken nor unfetchable. That's what the mirror
is for.
That is not what there mirror is for, the mirror is there for some
temporary upstream failure, to make sure that users will still have the
distfile, not for definitive failure (upstream dead, or for distfile
location/redirection changes).
BTW: in that case marking the ports has broken did the job it was
intended to, people have had a look at it and fixed it, otherwise the
problem won't have been fixed before eons.
thanks bf@ for having fixed this.

Bapt
