Hmm, looks like there's some sort of problem with Gerritt Pape's site where the port tries to fetch the manual pages from. Right now, you can fetch the daemontools-0.76-man-20010714.tar.gz from my FreeBSD site - http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/ports/sysutils/daemontools/daemontools-0.76-man-20010714.tar.gz I've placed the file in the publicly mirrorred directory, so it will appear on other mirrors, too; once it does, I'll add this local distribution site to the port, too. > => Attempting to fetch from > ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/. > fetch: > ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/daemontools-0.76-man-20010714.tar.gz: > File > unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) Yep, as explained below, the port has been marked RESTRICTED for ages and I've not changed that since December; thus, the package building cluster does not try to build it, and the distribution files have not appeared on the FreeBSD FTP site. This will change soon. > => Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this > => port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again. > *** Error code 1 > > Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/daemontools. > *** Error code 1 > > Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/daemontools. > whateva# > > I took a look at freshports this morning and saw this: > > http://www.freshports.org/search.php?query=daemontools&search=go&num=10&stype=name&method=match&deleted=excludedeleted&start=1&casesensitivity=caseinsensitive > > It looks like it's now restricted? Please let me know. It's not restricted "now"; the port has had the RESTRICTED line in its Makefile ever since version 1.1 (well, okay, it was NO_PACKAGE then) about nine years ago :) It's quite another question that I haven't removed it after Prof. Bernstein put all his software in the public domain in December 2007; I'll do so soon, right after the files I've placed in my FreeBSD home directory are mirrorred onto the FTP sites.
