>Description:
The FTP site used in the audio/xmcd package doesn't allow
anonymous login.  This may just be a temporary problem, but
the make didn't find the file anywhere else.  By looking around,
I found the source at an http URL: http://metalab.unc.edu/tkan/download/xmcd/src/xmcd-2.5.tar.gz
That site mentions it is at patchlevel one 30-Jun-1999, fwiw.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd pkgsrc/audio/xmcd ; make
>Fix:
Don't know if this is permanent:
08:25:01/jim> ftp mercury.hypersurf.com
Connected to mercury.hypersurf.com.
220 mercury.hypersurf.com FTP server (Version 6.00) ready.
Name (mercury.hypersurf.com:jim): anonymous
530 User anonymous unknown.
ftp: Login failed.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
