Squeak 3.9 fetch failure

[trier@…]

When I try to execute port install squeak I get the error message:

Evidently, its tries to download the file Squeak3.9-final-7067.zip from the usual Squeak sites. Unfortunatelyt, its appears that the file Squeak3.9-final-7067.zip is no longer present. Now that Squeak 3.10 is available, the Squeak maintainers removed that file for download. Please change the portfile to download Squeak-3.9-10.i386-apple-darwin8.8.1.tar.gz or better yet Squeak-3.10-1.i386-apple-darwin8.11.1.tar.gz.

Squeak3.9-final-7067.zip fetched successfully for me from ​ftp://ftp.squeak.org/3.9 and is currently building. Maybe there was a temporary network issue, or maybe there were already too many users connected to the FTP server.

We should still update the port.

Maybe the http url would work better? ​http://ftp.squeak.org/3.9/

Also, note that the -7067.zip file contains the platform-independent image/changes files. This is what evolves most, and is currently versioned 3.9 and 3.10. The platform-dependant VM is quite stable in comparison, and is released independently anyway (they have similar version numbers but it is a coincidence more than a strong convention). I have no time currently to update the portfile but I will try to have a look after may.
