Yes, this is highly undesirable, but as we all know Shit Happens[tm] from time to time, so we have to deal with it intelligently, not by screaming at each other lake bunch of old ladies. In this case the problem occured because Mario missed undesirable result of running automatic WWW cleanup script, which assumed that the `WWW' is the last line in pkg-descr. As a result WWW and FTP lines were merged into one long line, which of course confused unfetchable distfiles checker. There was nothing fatal in that - build of the port wasn't affected. I've just committed a fix for the problem. Now think about how wonderful it would be if we were avoided that public scold. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
