axel: checksum mismatch because html file

[jchauvel@…]

I've recently installed Yosemite Developer Preview 8 and macports from source with the SDK provided by Xcode 6.1 GM. It appears as if checksum verification fails while it tries to download the distfile.

Please do not Cc nomaintainer@… because it is not a valid email address.

What does the aforementioned HTML file contain? Could you attach it?

[jchauvel@…]

It's a result from fetching from this URL ​http://alioth.debian.org/frs/download.php/file/3016 (I'll attach the resulting HTML).

[jchauvel@…]

In plain text it says you this:

You've been redirected to this login page because you have tried accessing a page that was not available to you as an anonymous user. Cookies must be enabled past this point.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Fixed in r125659, I think.

ryandesign,

I've rebuilt macports by updating my svn checkout but it keeps whining about the HTML file

I think is something related to unauthenticated access to the resource. May you have a local cache stored with the session cookie.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I agree it does not work now. I thought it worked when I committed it.

I will ask the administrators of the alioth.debian server why they are doing this. I'm able to download some other projects' files from alioth, so perhaps this is a setting that can be made on a per-project basis, but clearly such a setting would mean the server cannot be used for automated downloads like those MacPorts tries to do.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

With axel, I couldn't download the file whether or not I logged in to Alioth.

With another project, I could download when logged in: ​https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=314824&group_id=1&atid=200001

Per the instructions when upgrading your OS, I uninstalled and began reinstalling all of my ports following an upgrade to OS X 10.11. I'm running into the issue described in this ticket, though - is there anything I can do to get axel working?

[mike@…]

Cc Me!

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I never received a response to the problem report I filed in the alioth.debian tracker above, and the server still does not appear to be delivering the needed file, so I have no further information on solving this problem. I suggest you try to get in touch with the developers of the software. Maybe you'll have better luck than I did.

[mike@…]

I emailed one of the developers, Philipp Hagemeister, on Tuesday. I'm hopeful that he'll write back.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Has duplicate #49508.

Seems Axel has changed maintainers, there is a Github project page now: ​https://github.com/eribertomota/axel/releases

Also, there is a new release 2.5 for it.

Seems official, since that is what Debian Sid points to now: ​https://packages.debian.org/sid/axel

axel-2.5 Portfile

[lkraider (Paul Eipper)]

Updated the Portfile to build axel-2.5 from github

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Thanks, using that fork seems reasonable.

[hellhovnd (Jean-Pierre Chauvel)]

How can I install this new port version?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I am working on fixing the port and will then commit it to the repository.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

In the future, please submit a unified diff of your proposed changes instead of a complete new Portfile. This is easier to review and ensures no unintended changes are included.

Committed in r142506 with the following changes:

• used github portgroup
• patched configure script to not look for libintl headers outside of the MacPorts prefix
• patched configure script to honor LDFLAGS
• removed portfile code to set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS at build time which is no longer needed
• removed libiconv dependency which seems not to be used
• added post-destroot block to move axelrc to axelrc.sample, so that the user can copy it to axelrc and modify it and those changes will not be lost the next time the port is upgraded
