Unknown so far if this can be reproduced on another system or whether 0.3.1 will fix it. The project's homepage has changed. The [http://www.nongnu.org/dvdrtools/ homepage URL listed in the port] says the project has moved to a [http://www.arklinux.org/projects/dvdrtools/ new URL] but at the new URL it just says "This page is temporarily down because of spammer attacks; until it comes back, you can download dvdrtools from svn". So we could have the dvdrtools 0.3.1 port download from svn, or we could use a tarball I found [http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/privat/ here] which I think I prefer since that way we can verify the download with checksums, we can cache the download in the distfiles directory, and we don't force people to install Subversion just for this. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/15114> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
