hdf5-18: hdf5-1.8.5.tar.bz2 not on any http servers

Reported by: Chris.Barker@… Owned by: mamoll (Mark Moll)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: ftp Cc:
Port: hdf5-18

Description

The source file: hdf5-1.8.5.tar.bz2 is not on any of the http servers (older files are).

It may be on one of the listed ftp servers, but I can't get at them from behind my firewall.

It would be great if this file could be put on the http://distfiles.macports.org/ server or another http server.

NOTE:

I tried it outside out firewall, and it turns out that:

ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/prev-releases/hdf5-1.8.5/src/

is the only source of that file -- it would be really nice to have an alternative.

It seems that it would be pretty easy to write a script that would go through and put copies of source from every single port on a macports server: http://distfiles.macports.org/ , for instance. Is there a disk space limitation? What is the policy about putting source files there?

Our distfiles mirror can't use FTP either. If there are any HTTP sources we can add them to the portfile, otherwise I guess you could ask upstream to make their files available via HTTP?

How is this fixed? The current hdf5-18 distfile is still not on any HTTP servers.

Sorry, misunderstood the problem. I added a http-accessible master_site in r73483.
