[MacPorts] #27689: fontconfig website moved
#27689: fontconfig website moved -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: uthyr@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: High | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: checksum | Port: fontconfig -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Hi, it appears that the website for fontconfig has moved/reorganized. The Portfile references the homepage of: http://fontconfig.org/, with a master site of: http://fontconfig.org/release/. these both redirect to: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig. Yes, the 'release' link on that page points to this page as well. The fetch portion of 'port install fontconfig' downloads two identical html web pages, and labels them 'arch.patch' and 'fontconfig-2.8.0.tar.gz'. I've manually downloaded the fontconfig-2.8.0.tar.gz file from the git repository on that site, with the intent to make a local port repository for this port, at least until the current Macports portfile is updated. However, I don't have the ability to find the arch.patch file. So, requesting that the Portfile be updated to reflect the issues created by the Freedesktop.org version of the fontconfig page. This has all been done in a fresh install of Macports 1.9.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.5. thanks, Roy -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27689> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Given that the download link is completely broken, I am assuming this is a temporary problem with the master site that'll be fixed soon (but perhaps the port will need to be updated when it does if the download location changes) As a workaround you can download the file from the distfiles mirror: http://distfiles.macports.org/fontconfig/fontconfig-2.8.0.tar.gz and put it in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/fontconfig You don't need to download the arch.patch file; it's part of the port. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27689#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
