This port (and probably others) is broken because
MASTER_SITE_COMP_SOURCES doesn't have a working mirror. I also see that
MASTER_SITE_COMP_SOURCES has been removed from Mk/bsd.sites.mk.
A quick seach shows the following sites still hosting comp.sources, are
any of these acceptable to use as the master sites?
http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/usenet/ftp.uu.net/comp.sources.unix/
http://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/comp.sources.unix/
http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/archive/comp.sources.unix/
http://ftp.fi.netbsd.org/pub/misc/archive/comp.sources.unix/
Thanks,
