To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:

Error: Processing of port mlt failed

I guess something wrong with download URL.

(Probably it is required to execute "port clean --dist frei0r-plugins" before you can reproduce the problem).

Yes, their web server now serves an ​interstitial page asking for donations before redirecting to the actual file. The attached patch fixes this (and also removes the unnecessary worksrcdir line). Dan, if you have no objections, I'm happy to commit it for you.

Hi Ryan, A better URL to use is ​https://releases.dyne.org/frei0r/releases/ I was trying to test my own patch, but I was struggling to figure out how to bypass distfiles.macports.org! Please tell. Otherwise, I am fine for you to use either URL and commit this.

Hello! Should I test the patch myself or wait for the fix committed? I'm not sure how to apply the patch.

Hello! frei0r-plugins installation worked fine for me today. Although, looks like a different mirror was used. Thank you!

Hi Ryan, A better URL to use is ​https://releases.dyne.org/frei0r/releases/

Agreed, that's even better. Fixed in r120567.

MacPorts picks a server to use based on which one has the lowest ping time. I'm not sure how to bypass that choice. I thought there was a setting one could use to in effect blacklist certain servers, but I could not find mention of it in macports.conf.
