latex2html: add backup source repository

Description

On May 18, 2008 I attempted to build gnustep, which has latex2html as a subdependency. The package failed to fetch; since the latex2html homepage is a university site, I suggest the following mirror:  ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/support/latex2html/ be added as a backup. I've attached a diff of the Portfile.

Unfortunately, the file on the CTAN mirrors is different to the one on the homepage. On the bright side, we have the beginnings of a comprehensive distfile mirror up at  http://distfiles.macports.org/.

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to wontfix
  • summary changed from add backup source repository for latex2html to latex2html: add backup source repository

It fetches just fine for me today. When MacPorts 1.7.0 is released, it will automatically add distfiles.macports.org to the master_sites.
