iso-codes 3.14 fetch failure

[zalondek]

When I attempt to install iso-codes, the version that is fetched is 3.14. Unfortunately, the fetch fails, because none of the mirrors appear to have 3.14, the latest version they have is 3.13. Is there a fix for this problem?

Please remember to preview and use WikiFormatting, and fill in the Port field. The file is present on the debian FTP site.

It looks like this port file was updated to grab 3.14 instead of 3.13 10 days ago. Changing the port file manually to grab 3.13 currently hangs at grabbing the tarball from distfiles.macports.org (site is slow) and then fails on checksum (obviously; I can't find the hashes to change in the port). Can someone please distribute the new tarball, undo the upgrade to fix the port, or post a working link to the 3.14 version?

The file is definitely at the FTP site shown first in your output above. Try downloading ​the file manually in an FTP client or FTP-capable web browser (e.g. Firefox), then placing it where MacPorts looks for it (/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/iso-codes).

If you want to install an older version of a port, consult the InstallingOlderPort how-to in the wiki.

Hi,

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, the first site may fail on my side due to a proxy (though others don't fail usually). I certainly can't download from FTP sites directly. What about the other sites in the list?

If you want to install an older version of a port, consult the InstallingOlderPort how-to in the wiki.

I'd rather not do this unless absolutely necessary. I was just saying that in a fit of desperation I'd made an attempt to hack the port file, which probably isn't a good idea. But thanks for the pointer. I may end up doing it anyway, esp. if it takes a while for this to be fixed.

iso-codes has been updated to 3.15. Are we ok now?

I think so, at least for me. Cleanly installs 3.15 now. Thanks!

I changed it to fetch from the debian http mirrors (r66009), which allows it to get onto our mirror servers.
