Problem installing earlier version of boost (1.40)

Reported by: josep.m.fontana@… Owned by: adfernandes (Andrew Fernandes)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: Cc:
Port: boost

Description (last modified by jmroot (Joshua Root))

I need an earlier version of boost. I followed instructions to install earlier versions. I had no problem with the installation of the current version of boost but when I try to install the new version via 'sudo port install', I get the following error message. I have been trying all morning. The site ​http://svn.macports.org/ is working so this must be an error with the directory not being there any more or being improperly addressed in the installation file. 

--->  Attempting to fetch patch-libs-random-random_device.cpp.diff from http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/distfiles/boost
Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: fetch failed
Log for boost is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_build_boost/main.log
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

It's obviously not possible for the maintainer to fix a problem in an older revision, so this isn't a valid bug report. However it looks like you missed the part of howto/InstallingOlderPort that says to download the files directory.
