What I am used to I guess is when I click the Download link under a port I expect to download the port. That is, a tar of the directory containing the Makefile, distinfo, files dir, and so on. what I am getting instead is an open ftp client waiting inside that directory. Now, I suppose that I can build the requisite directories my self and mget the stuff in batches, but it kind of defeats the point of the download link, now, doesn't it? (besides invalidating the claim made in the intro to the ports) The ports in question are the amanda ports (all of them!) here is one of the exact urls I used (note this is what the link download (shown below) went to ftp://ftp5.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/misc/amanda24-server/ amanda24-server-2.4.2p2_1 The Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver Maintained by: jeh@FreeBSD.org Requires: amanda24-client-2.4.2p2_1, gettext-0.10.35, gmake-3.79.1, gtar-1.13.19, libtool-1.3.4_2 Description : Sources : Package : Changes : Download To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-www" in the body of the message
