Each ports defines a list of mirrors where the distfile should
hosted, and the infrastructure append some FreeBSD mirror for
convenience.
the list represent the number of problematic mirrors.
It doen't mean the ports is not fetchable yet, it mean some of
its mirrors do not share the distfile anymore.
Any thought of adding that explanation to ~ehaupt/distilator and/or
to ~ehaupt/distilator/po...@freebsd.org-bad.html (or making it more
prominent, if it is already there)? All I could figure out was that
the list had something to do with unfetchable distfiles, thus my
confusion when "make fetch" succeeded.
Those with unfetchable distfiles are either marked as broken or
deprecated currently :)
concerning the explanation that would be a good idea, let's see what
ehaupt think about this.
