#41452: Fetching distfiles will inexplicably hang in Mavericks ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: elfprince13@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by elfprince13@…): Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign@…]:
What are some of the URLs that are hanging? Do you get the same problem if you try to access those URLs in a web browser? Do you use any unusual network setup, such as a proxy server?
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/* are the worst offenders (just hanging forever), but ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/individual/* and ftp://ftp.cse.buffalo.edu/pub/Gnome/sources/* both seem to hang for 10-20 minutes before jumping to a mirror. I managed to get the packages installed by opening the URLs in Firefox (which worked instantly) and then copying them to the distfiles folder, removing the 0 byte temp file that had been created, and restarting the install sequence. No unusual network setup or proxies. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41452#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
