>Description:
A recent build of the bash2 package failed to connect to the
primary site and attempted to fetch
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash-2.02.1.tar.gz
instead. However, the GNU ftp site has been reorganized, with
individual subdirectories for each software package, so the
correct location is now
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-2.02.1.tar.gz
NB: this ftp.gnu.org reorganization very likely has implications
for every GNU package in the tree--I haven't checked.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/pkgsrc/shells/bash2; make
>Fix:
Trivial for this package alone, but given that all GNU packages
may be affected, I imagine that a general solution involving
automatically inserting the subdirectory name when fetching from
ftp.gnu.org might be the most appropriate fix.
