Ports should not attempt to download files, other than in the fetch phase.

In this case, the images to fetch are defined by the software, so they can't generally be downloaded in the fetch phase. I guess I can create a new port that depends on "uhd*" that just downloads the images in the fetch phase via using the UHD downloader. The best way to do this while not confusing any more than necessary would be to move the current "uhd*" ports to maybe "uhd*_base", then move the images downloader to "uhd*" (respectively for the release or devel port). I don't really -want- to do this, because it adds complexity to these ports. But, if the MP powers that be are adamant about keeping file downloading in the fetch phase then I think this is a reasonable solution.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

I do not have this issue on 10.10.3 or 10.8; nor do the buildbots. So, I'm guessing this was an issue with your setup: a temporary issue with accessing ettus.com and/or there is a firewall between you and ettus.com that prevented the access. Given that the downloader uses HTTP (port 80), which is generally allowed (either directly or indirectly) through most firewalls, I'm really not sure of the issue. The code works quite nicely and is generic, even if it violates the spirit of when/how downloading works within MacPorts.

Please try:

sudo port clean uhd
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install uhd

and & see if that helps. If not, I'll work on splitting the ports per the above & then you could download the images separately & get them in place for MP to use.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

I just added "--verbose" to the downloader command in r136974, so if you do the "clean" & "selfupdate" above (& such) then if it does not work there should be more verbose debug output to attach to this ticket.

Hi Michael,

Many thanks for your very quick answer. I just tried again and it worked .... not sure why this morning it failed multiple time and each time I tried I cleaned, self updated etc. In any case thanks again!
