I've seen a number of people say they get errors when downloading dragonfly pkgsrc via git. I don't know what's causing it, but 2 workaround for now would be to either grab it the old-fashioned way via CVS: (assuming tcsh)
setenv CVSROOT anon...@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot setenv CVS_RSH ssh cd /usr cvs -q checkout -rpkgsrc-2011Q1 -P pkgsrc Or switch to Joerg Sonnenberger's git : (warning, this is off the top of my head; untested) in /usr/pkgsrc: git remote add github https://github.com/jsonn/pkgsrc.git git fetch github git branch pkgsrc-2011Q1 github/pkgsrc-2011Q1 git checkout pkgsrc-2011Q1 git pull I'm curious to see if git chokes when downloading from a different source...
