Hello, All ebuilds currently using mirror://freebsd/ are either using something from distfiles/ or local-distfiles/ which are reported [1][2] to have recently moved to a different server. Thus all fetches fail when GENTOO_MIRRORS aren't used/usable. # qgrep -H mirror://freebsd/ app-arch/unarj/unarj-2.65.ebuild:SRC_URI="mirror://freebsd/ports/local-distfiles/ache/${P}.tgz" dev-libs/libexecinfo/libexecinfo-1.1.ebuild:SRC_URI="mirror://freebsd/distfiles/${P}.tar.bz2" sys-block/eject-bsd/eject-bsd-1.5.ebuild: mirror://freebsd/ports/distfiles/${MY_P}.tar.gz" sys-freebsd/virtio-kmod/virtio-kmod-0.228301-r1.ebuild:SRC_URI="mirror://freebsd/ports/local-distfiles/kuriyama/virtio-${PV}.tar.gz" x11-misc/xidle/xidle-24102005.ebuild:SRC_URI="mirror://freebsd/ports/local-distfiles/novel/${P}.tar.bz2" # It looks like the ebuilds which were using distfiles/ should now use http://distcache.freebsd.org/ports-distfiles and the ones using local-distfiles should now use http://distcache.freebsd.org/local-distfiles . I'd be in favor of dropping the mirror group altogether, but if we want it to be useful, then it probably needs to be adjusted to use the 5 mirrors here: http://distcache.freebsd.org/ and then have the ebuilds' SRC_URI paths adjusted as needed. Since none of the ebuilds are fetchable from SRC_URI right now anyway, I don't think there'd be any harm in reworking the mirror group then fixing the ebuilds to match.

I should mention there are a couple of anomalous servers which still seem to be hosting a distfiles dir, though I don't know if they're current/updated. The 3 servers marked 'good' in this list still have distfiles/ dirs: Testing "freebsd" mirror group... bad: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp2.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.ar.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.au.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp2.au.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.at.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp2.at.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ good: ftp://ftp.br.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ good: ftp://ftp2.br.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.ca.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp2.ca.FreeBSD.org/ bad: ftp://ftp.cn.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.cz.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.dk.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp2.dk.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.ee.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.fr.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp2.fr.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.de.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp2.de.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.gr.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ good: ftp://ftp2.gr.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.hk.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.is.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.id.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.ie.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp2.ie.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.it.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp.jp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp2.jp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp2.kr.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp1.us.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ bad: ftp://ftp2.us.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/
