>Description:
The source files and patches for the gnuls package, based on gnu
fileutils-3.12 are no longer available from the primary sites
because they are so out of date. The latest version of the main
source on prep.ai.mit.edu is 3.16.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/pkgsrc/misc/gnuls
make
(Watch the fetch target search sites in vain for the source and
patch files before finally settling on ftp.netbsd.org.)
>Fix:
None supplied.
