#20679: PHP5-5.3.0 Checksum issue --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: davids@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: checksum | Port: php5 --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * status: new => assigned Comment: Also, there was #20672. Which hostname did not resolve for you? If there is another dead server, we need to remove it from the list. Enabling MacPorts to automatically detect this situation could possibly be done by checking if the downloaded file is HTML (or XHTML) and/or was served with the text/html (or application/xml or similar) content type. The problem is that this would have to be done in the fetch phase, before the checksum has been checked. That means you'd be preventing a port from legitimately downloading an HTML file, should such a situation be necessary. (I don't know if we have any such ports now.) IMHO DNS providers that resolve nonexistent hostnames to a valid IP are broken and users should complain to their DNS providers about such broken behavior. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20679#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
