Did you try to contact the admin of the hosting site?
Hmm, good idea actually, no, I haven't. Thanks for the heads up. On Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 11:07 AM, Gaetan Bisson <bisson@archlinux.org>wrote:

The problem is that makepkg uses wget to download the sources
Just a note: curl will be the default in the next release.
That is good news I guess, although I prefer wget's output with the progress bar much more. I wonder, how many PKGBUILDs will break because of this :)
My question is, what is the recommended way now. Should I host the file somewhere, or should I modify the PKGBUILD so that it downloads and unpacks the source manually, or is there another way I overlooked?
The cleanest way should be to just add
DLAGENTS=('http::/usr/bin/curl -fLC - --retry 3 --retry-delay 3 -o %o %u')
next to the source=() array in the PKGBUILD, with a comment explaining the situation.
Thanks, that was the perfect solution <3. So, when new the makepkg will be released, I can drop that line. Thank you for your help. Best regards
