poppler fails to install

[william76 (William)]

I had a look at the download locations, they only have up to 0.48.0 of the package...

In the future, please use WikiFormatting and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers poppler), if any.

worked for me just now:

$ ls -la /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/poppler/poppler-0.49.0.tar.xz

There have been some problems with the MacPorts distfile mirrors recently and according to

port -d distcheck

poppler 0.49 is one of the casualties. Poppler is not available on any of the standard MacPorts mirrors.

However, I can download it just fine from it's master_sites location ​https://poppler.freedesktop.org/ either using

sudo port -d fetch poppler

or directly using a web browser so I suspect that your problem is due to a transient network problem with the upstream poppler server or perhaps a local network problem on your end. At any rate, please give it a try again later.

Copying @ryandesign for a possible update on the distfile mirroring situation.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Any update on this?

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Current poppler distfile poppler-0.50.0.tar.xz is fetchible via the MacPorts distfile mirrors as well as the upstream download location. I don't know whether this means the distfile mirroring is working automatically now or whether this was done manually (as in some other tickets).

At any rate, the issue should be moot now.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I added the poppler distfile manually.
