php5 Download Link Fix (ONE LINE FIX IN DESCRIPTION)

[TruePath (Peter Gerdes)]

the php5 version 5.3.8 is failing to download the source. The following changes should be made to the portfile to get the url correct

In particular master_sites should be changed to ​http://www.php.net/distributions/ This changes seems to minor to be worth creating a patch for. I hope you (the maintainer) are CCed if I enter you into form here and this is appropriate way to submit.

Original portfile section:

homepage                http://www.php.net/
master_sites            php

distname                php-${version}  

The way it should read:

homepage                http://www.php.net/
master_sites            http://www.php.net/distributions/

distname                php-${version}

Opps I may still have had it screwed up by putting that last / on distributions. I don't think this was a problem but just to make sure everything is perfectly clear I'm attaching the patch file for the working version.

No, the portfile is correct as written. The "php" in "master_sites php" is a reference to the php fetchgroup​.

Why did you think this needs to be changed? What error did you experience? The only possible problem I can see is that the uk2.php.net mirror listed in the php fetchgroup appears no longer to exist. In r83973 I have replaced it with the uk3 mirror. Does that help?

I'm having similar problem, Using Macports 2.03 upon running upgrade outdated.

The following ports are currently installed:
  php5 @5.3.6_0+apache2+pear (active)
Macintosh:~ davidcoate$ sudo port upgrade php5
Password:
--->  Computing dependencies for php5
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for php5
Error: Checksum (rmd160) mismatch for php-5.3.8.tar.bz2
Error: Checksum (sha256) mismatch for php-5.3.8.tar.bz2
***
The non-matching file appears to be HTML. See this page for possible reasons
for the checksum mismatch:
<https://trac.macports.org/wiki/MisbehavingServers>
***

After following advice on MisbehavingServers web page, still had same problems. Then I cleaned php5 first and tried again...

packages.macports.org hosts prebuilt binaries which currently do not exist for Leopard -- that means it's normal for your browser to 404 here. The download (or rather checksum) fails at a later step, try running with -v or -d to see the URL of the PHP download that is failing.

same problem?

No. Please do not hijack other people's tickets.

The original reporter has not given any indication of what problem he is experiencing is so we cannot know whether the problem you're seeing is similar.

And what does the HTML file (/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/php5/php-5.3.8.tar.bz2) contain?

This is normal and not a problem.
