xv fetch failure due to FTP-only master_sites

[dfox@…]

The "xv-3.10a.tar.gz" tarball is currently located in

​http://distfiles.macports.org/xv

as "​http://distfiles.macports.org/xv/xv-3.10a.tar.gz", but "port" is looking for it in:

​http://distfiles.macports.org/xv/3.10a_1

which is an empty directory.

There appear to be issues with downloading the tarball from alternate/mirror sites, as well (see log).

Cheers, Derek

The file you found at ​http://distfiles.macports.org/xv/xv-3.10a.tar.gz is not the same file as the one the port now needs; this is because the developers of xv stealth-updated their file.

The file the port needs is right there where it's supposed to be:

​ftp://ftp.trilon.com/pub/xv/xv-3.10a.tar.gz

The reason you're not able to fetch it is presumably that on your network you are not able to access FTP servers. That is a matter to take up with your network administrator.

Our distfiles mirrors also cannot access FTP servers, which is why the file was not copied to any of our mirrors.

I will see if we can locate a copy of the file on an HTTP server somewhere so that we can mirror it.

Added in r80905. Our main distfiles mirror has mirrored it; the others should within a day or so.
