 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
