#44789: Remove .html files from distfiles mirrors ----------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: skarulkar@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: server/hosting | Version: Keywords: | Port: ----------------------------+------------------------- When a port fails to fetch because the upstream server delivered an HTML file instead of the real file, MacPorts helpfully renames the distfile to end with .html and prints a message advising the user to look at this file. But these files are not needed or wanted on the distfiles mirrors and should be removed. Perhaps a nightly task could do this. This directory contains an example of such a file: http://distfiles.macports.org/openmpi-devel/ This is a similar request to #18952, which five years later still needs to be implemented. Both requests should be simple to implement with a one- line invocation of the `find` command. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44789> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
