>Description:

I have received an automated email from Bill Fenner saying
that the port I maintain (devel/hapy) is unfetchable.  The
e-mail suggests that I fix the problem and file a PR.

The port survey URL[1] indicates that all locations for Hapy
distribution were skipped and have never been checked. I
have verified that Hapy distribution fetches fine using the
ports system. I am unsure how to clear the error flag in
port survey, and it looks like there are many ports in
similar "all skipped and never checked" state.

Could someone please let me know how the error flag that 
generates automated emails from Bill Fenner can be cleared in
this situation?

Thank you,

Alex.
P.S. It looks like survey software should distinguish "NEVER
checked" from "checked some and all failed" cases, to avoid
sending warnings to maintainers of ports that have not been
checked yet. Or is there a problem with the port that
prevents it from being checked?
