mesa @11.0.2: fetch failure

Reported by: arunava.mukherjee@… Owned by: jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.3.4
Keywords: Cc: greg.vansickle@…
Port: mesa

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I upgraded the os of my Macbook Pro from OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) to OSX 10.11 (El Capitan). And then reinstalled the latest Xcode, Macport and Xcode command-line tools. After that, I tried to perform "sudo port -v selfupdate" followed by "sudo port upgrade outdated" from my terminal.

It says the following complains (last few lines):

--->  Attempting to fetch mesa-11.0.2.tar.xz from http://cjj.kr.distfiles.macports.org/mesa
--->  Attempting to fetch mesa-11.0.2.tar.xz from http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/distfiles/mesa
Error: org.macports.fetch for port mesa returned: fetch failed
Please see the log file for port mesa for details:

This is the ongoing difficulty of fetching files from ftp servers. An http mirror should be added to the port, if one can be found.

While agreed, this particular case seems to be more than a generic issue with FTP downloads: 6 months after this ticket was filed, the archive still can not be retrieved from remote server; in addition, the remote host (ftp.freedesktop.org) is refusing connections on the ftp port.

Looks ok to me. You likely have a firewall on your side that is blocking the connection:

Has duplicate #49870. Please add an http mirror. I couldn't find one for 11.0.2, but mesa could be updated to 11.0.6 for which mirrors were easy to find.

Feel free to add a mirror if you can find one.

It should not be the responsibility of port maintainers to workaround users' firewalls by searching for multiplel mirrors. The official location of the tarballs is ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/11.0.6, and that is what is defined in the Portfile. There is no official http mirror.

Once #45262 is fixed, the macports mirrors should start mirroring the file for users.
