A problem with NetBSD's mirror in Finland
Dear list.
I do not know if it is an error at my site or what, but:
I've played around with translating packages. I've noticed that the
script generated by "make fetch-list" always fails to find the host
"ftp.fi.NetBSD.org" whenever it executes below quoted line.
unsorted_sites=" <snip> \
ftp://ftp.fi.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/distfiles/<whatever>/ \
<snip> "
Living in Denmark, I often use "ftp -a ftp.funet.fi", and my .netrc says:
machine ftp.funet.fi macdef init
lcd downloads
cd pub/NetBSD
prompt
And usually I get what I need by changing to the directory defined in the
NetBSD documentation.
Somehow it seems difficult to maintain the correct alias
"ftp.fi.NetBSD.org" for "ftp.funet.fi" even if both addresses work.
I can use "ftp" or "ping". Both bring me to the same site but the two "ftp"s
end in different directories..
It is a small problem, but it annoys me.
Hans.
