--TiqCXmo5T1hvSQQg Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable It looks like there are still some references to the ports collection on the ftp site (which is no longer there). These should be changed to point to cvsweb like the rest of the links. Can someone take care of this?
