Hi, I too see this type of failure until I can download the appropriate distfiles into /usr/ports/distfiles...
The file /etc/resolv.conf is copied from /etc to the chroot area and is probably ok. I typically find that my upstream domain name server is not responding correctly when this happens. From /usr/src/release/Makefile: if [ -f /etc/resolv.conf ]; then \ cp -p /etc/resolv.conf ${CHROOTDIR}/etc; \ fi Again, From /usr/src/release/Makefile, this should copy any ports from /usr/ports/distfiles into the associated chroot area: if [ -d ${DISTFILES}/ ]; then \ cp -rp ${DISTFILES} ${CHROOTDIR}/usr/ports/distfiles; \ fi Hope this helps. -John > Wilko Bulte <wi...@yedi.iaf.nl> writes: > > >> sgmlformat-1.7.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system. > > >> Attempting to fetch from > > http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/ports/distfiles/. > > fetch: reading reply from fallout.campusview.indiana.edu: Operation timed > > out > > >> Attempting to fetch from > > ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/. > > fetch: ftp.freebsd.org: Host name lookup failure > > >> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this > > >> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again. > > *** Error code 1 > > > > Stop. > > *** Error code 1 > > > > The build is running in a chroot tree which does not have a valid > /etc/resolv.conf. > > > yedi#ls /usr/ports/distfiles > > docbk241.tar.Z isoENTS.zip linuxdoc-1.1.tar.gz > > docbk30.tar.Z jade-1.2.1.tar.gz sgmlformat-1.7.tar.gz > > This is outside the chroot tree. > > DES > - -- > Dag-Erling Smorgrav - d...@flood.ping.uio.no > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message > > ------------------------------ > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
