From: Paul Schmehl on
I'm trying to update a port that I maintain, but the download is failing.
Here's the actual path of the download:
http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/projects/afterglow/files/AfterGlow%201.x/1.6/

But the macro has SF/project/, so the download fails. Did Sourceforge just
change their downloads path? It sure looks like it. If true, I imagine a
bunch of ports are now "broken".

I recently had the same issue, but it turns out I was trying to test
the port as an unprivileged user. Try testing the build with sudo or
as root.

That's the wrong path. Try:

-PORTVERSION= 1.6
+PORTVERSION= 1.6.0

SF/project/ continues to work just fine:

% fetch http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/afterglow/AfterGlow%201.x/1.6.0/afterglow-1.6.0.tar.gz
afterglow-1.6.0.tar.gz 100% of 72 kB 82 kBps
