When I try to install the multimedia/handbrake port, I get the following error message: _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ===> Vulnerability check disabled, database not found => HandBrake-0.6.2-src.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/. => Attempting to fetch from http://people.via.ecp.fr/~titer/handbrake/. fetch: http://people.via.ecp.fr/~titer/handbrake/HandBrake-0.6.2-src.tar.gz: Not Found => Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/. fetch: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/HandBrake-0.6.2-src.tar.gz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) => 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/multimedia/handbrake. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I go to the URL, I find that the only version available is 0.7.1, which was apparently released 2/24/2006. The earlier version is probably available through some sort of source control, but I wasn't smart enough to figure out what/where/how. Being new to FreeBSD, I don't know the proper procedure in this case. Should I report this to someone? Or is taken care of in some other way? Or is this the wrong forum? Can I just manually edit the port Makefile and distinfo file to have the correct version/size/MD5 etc? Or is this too simplistic a fix that will screw up other things? As always, Thanks for your support Don Hayford
