>Description:


/usr/ports/net/socks5
>From the SOCKS5 homepage:

Reference source for SOCKSv5 available to accredited research and educational institutions for non-commercial use.

In addition the file that the port tells you to retrieve manually is not available from the website anymore

IGNORE="NEC requires that you grab the dist files from their web site at http://
www.socks.nec.com/cgi-bin/download.pl .  Please make sure you have ${DISTNAME}${
EXTRACT_SUFX} in ${DISTDIR} and run make again"

I have made repeated attempts to contact NEC to try and get the needed files and even better yet a license that would allow users to install 'automatically'




>How-To-Repeat:


Attempt to install /usr/ports/net/socks5
