The HOMEPAGE property of ebuild net-misc/fmirror-0.8.4 points to a non-existant URL. The current URL is http://freshmeat.net/projects/fmirror . If you follow it, you see an error page. I suggest to use the URL http://linux.maruhn.com/sec/fmirror.html instead. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Do you use it or did you just stumble about it? I wonder what's the point of keeping this abandoned code base in the tree. E.g. wget should work fine, shouldn't it!?

I'm using it. I need a program that synchronizes a local directory from an FTP server, also deleting the files that have been deleted on the server. I don't think that wget has this option...
What about rsync?
(In reply to comment #3) > What about rsync? I checked its documentation, and it seems that it doesn't allow mirroring a FTP site, but only a local directory or a rsync server. BTW, helping me to find an alternative is very kind of you. :-) But you don't have to. You're the guys@gentoo.org, so if you think that this package is obsolete, just delete it and I'll keep compiling it by myself. It would be ok. I opened this bug just to point out a wrong URL; if this helped you to find a dead ebuild, then I'll be happy anyway because I helped the Gentoo admins in something. So, thank you for your work! :-)
Fixed, thanks.
