System: NetBSD i386 6.0 + pkgsrc HEAD
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
sourceforge download sites seem to check client's useragent value
and change behavior of download pages so if a user sets own FTPUSERAGENT
("Mozilla/5.0" etc.) for ftp(1) fetching from sourceforge fails.
It was once fixed in pkgsrc/mk/fetch/fetch.mk rev 1.57:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-changes/2012/12/14/msg081842.html
but in rev 1.58 FTPUSERAGENT variable is passed again on make fetch:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/mk/fetch/fetch.mk.diff?r1=1.57&r2=1.58
>How-To-Repeat:
% cd pkgsrc/x11/mlterm ; env FTPUSERAGENT="Mozilla/5.0" make fetch
>Fix:
Use pkgsrc own variable to override ftp(1)'s FTPUSERAGENT in fetch.mk?
(I'm not sure which package has sites "broken without FTPUSERAGENT" though)
