i have problems installing platypus, are these servers temporarily down, or just not maintained anymore?
Well, current version of Platypus is now 3.4, so perhaps it isn't being maintained properly? Also, the "correct" URL seems to be sveinbjorn.org, not sveinbjorn.sytes.net (that said, both point to the same IP). Unfortunately the server does not seem to be responding.
I would recommend trying to find a pre-built copy of Platypus on one of the software aggregate sites that keeps its own mirror of downloads. Alternately, you could just wait a day or two and see if the server comes back.
Correct: the platypus port is not maintained. ("port info platypus" says "Maintainers: nomaintainer@macports.org") The platypus site seems to be back up now. I can "port fetch platypus" and it gets the 3.2 source. If someone who uses platypus would like to upgrade the port to 3.4 I'm sure that would be fine. I could do it but since I don't use the software it would be difficult for me to test that it is functional.
