I'm having a whale of time following an upgrade from 10.3 to 10.4.
I used webpublish, a simple command line tool that transferred
files to another computer. It's still listed in MacPorts but the
location has changed. It was at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/webpublish
but it is now at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/webpublish.
Can I change the locations that will be searched, ie, change gnu
to old-gnu.
You can edit a portfile by using "port edit webpublish", assuming
your EDITOR environment variable is set up properly.
The webpublish port needed to be updated, which I did:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/27097
Wait 12 hours, then "sudo port sync", then you should be able to
install webpublish 0.1.1_0.
The port used "master_sites gnu" but GNU moved the software out of
the "gnu" directory and into the "old-gnu" directory. We do not
appear to have a "master_sides old-gnu" option. Should we? For now,
I'm hardcoding the URL of the main GNU server, since such "old"
software will hopefully not be in great demand.
That was the trick. I could see "master_sites gnu" but couldn't see
how to get from that to the correct ftp address.
thanks for doing that for me
