make fetch problem - prdownloads.sourceforge.net

["J.A. Neitzel" <jneitzel_(_at_)_otaku_(_dot_)_freeshell_(_dot_)_org>]

greetings to all =)

please note, i'm not subscribed to this list so please CC any
follow-ups to me.  in fact, maybe you won't receive this since
i am not subscribed..?  anyway...

problem report:
all ports URLs which fetch from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/*
do not actually fetch a tarball.  i don't know about the sourceforge
stuff, but what happens is this URL actually refers to a mirror
redirector type page???

so, i would recommend to revamp sourceforge fetches to the ftp
server instead.
EX:
instead of:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/blackboxwm/blackbox-0.62.1.tar.gz

you could do:
ftp://ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/blackboxwm/blackbox-0.62.1.tar.gz

version info???  i'm running with a current tree last updated on
20020501.  maybe it's been fixed since then.  if so, ignore me.
regardless, i thought it worth to mention.  HTH

btw, thanks for OpenBSD and the Ports tree =)
